The end.
Part 2- more reading homework.

'knowing that some hope can be found for humanity in the form of the harmless young boy provides a glimpse of optimism in an otherwise completely depressing setting'

amazon reader view.
- hope can be found
-will the boy find happiness eventually?
-will the world be saved whilst he is alive?
It shows that the ending of the book, could be construed as happiness and hope for the boys life and the world being re-built.

'uplifting ending for about 5 minutes and then i thought 'hang on a bit , why do we think this guy is good guy when we haven't come across any good guys in the whole book!'

-Makes the reader question the ending and re consider what they have read.
- I disagree with this response as Ii personally think the ending should be taken on a positive note so that the reader may believe that their still good in the world and their will be happiness for the boy in his life with the strangers.
