The point of the six characters seems to be two-fold: to introduce six very different ways of living and seeing the world in the period under discussion. Thus one ends the last chapter and is simply looking for the next chapter, which will take one to volume two, a totally different volume in most modes of publishing these books in later years. At the very end of The 42nd Parallel we are introduced to the last of the main characters, Charley Anderson, but his story is simply left hanging and not directly tied to the other five main characters.

The life of each is told in a very creative manner, and eventually all six of them merge in one form or another. In this first volume we follow the lives of six main fictional characters. from about the early days of the 20th century until about late 1918, centering toward the end of the war in Europe. This is structurally one of the most challenging of forms. The 42nd Parallel is the first volume of Dos Passos’ famous U.S.A.
