The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.
Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.
One Saturday, Gilbert met me in the library and we flipped through books we thought might be fun. I couldn't study all the time. One book that caught my attention was the Malawi Junior Integrated Science book, used by Form Four students. Hmm, I thought, and flipped it open. There were lots of pictures and diagrams, which I found easy to understand. I saw pictures of cancer and scabies and children stricken with kwashiorkor, like so many who'd wandered the country. One picture had a man in a shiny silver suit walking on the moon.

The difference between the two characters makes them complete each other and are such a dynamic duo, where each complements the other's flaws. However, the differences between them, promote a striking personality in each one and this was the main objective of the author to unite such contrasting personalities, but that work so well.
