Short essay response due Saturday night

Many readers of the novel's final scene find it to be tricky and ambiguous. In your short essay response, I'd like you to explain: 1) your view of what happens at the novel's conclusion (and remember: please use direct evidence from the text to prove your point; 2) what do you believe is the meaning of the final scene (what does the river symbolize; how does the final scene connect to theme in the novel)?

This response should be a minimum of 300 words. It should be double spaced, 11-12 point type in a readable font (Times New Roman is the standard). You will upload the response to turnitin by Saturday night at 11:59 and 59 seconds.
