Conclusion

On page 89, Joel's father says "I don't suppose anybody knows...what happens after."  He hesitated, and one hand came up, described a series of circles in the air, then settled into his lap again as though it had finished the statement for him.  "I believe there's something about life that goes on.  It seems too good to end in a river."

Watch this presentation several times and think about how it relates to the conclusion of the novel.  Here are some things to think about as you watch -
