Conclusion BLOG#6

A picture that helps display what is going through kaelyns Mind as this story concludes.

       Throughout the novel, I was able to visualize the novel  due to the ever interesting plot and the characters development. Throughout the novel, we see the island and Kaelyn face themselves with the reality of isolation and fear of  death. But as the novel progresses the characters learn to adapt and cope with these realities and overcome many obstacles. During the end of the novel, we discover that Kaelyns brother has been able to make contact to the outside world (aka the mainland, right off the island) and this has let some people from the main land know what the islanders are facing. Due to this very small, but very important contact, the mainlanders decide to step up against the government and help the island. The author left us with a great cliff hanger because at the very end of the novel we learn that many ships are surrounding the island and one ship appears to be carrying a very important person to Kaelyn, her best friend Leo, and also Tess's parents and it ends there. We do not learn what happens next, its a cliff hanger because it leaves us wondering if they ever actually do come to help the islanders, or are they there to create even more sabotage and we do not learn if the mystery illness is ever resolved but we can only hope. With Kaelyn having to cope with so many deaths such as her fathers and mothers, we learn that despite being  a 14 year old girl she is very mature on coping with death as we know coping with death is a very mentally and physically depressing event for us humans and her being able to stand up and overcome many challenges is truly astonishing. overall this book is a must read, it has a lot of character and plot development   and is a truly interesting novel due to the many plot twists and precise details.
