Journal #9

The extension of the first part of the story all the way to the end of the book helped to bring the book closer together as a story. The end of the story where Pheoby and Janie are having a conversation like they had in the very first chapter creates a similarity between the beginning and the end of the book. What this causes is that the reader is forced to remember all the important scenes throughout the book instead of not paying attention to them, eventhough the main focus is on the last scene of the book. It is really important to remember those other scenes throughout the book because of all the emotions portrayed in the last couple of chapters.
