The end

I was not expecting that ending at all! I thought it really made it clear the effects our words have, as opposed to our actions. As far as the civil rights movment goes, american history portrays the peaceful methods of MLK as the superiour method. Sephie was exemplifying that, though deciding to keep the baby, and making it clear that callum didn't rape her. It was pretty heartbreaking at the end when she didnt know if he had hear her yell that she loved him, but i think the fact that everyone else there also hear her say it, as well as the fact that she publicly declared it, makes a huge difference. Going forward she's obviously going to make sure that their child, who will be half cross half naught, will live in an equal world as possible, something its father died for. I honestly thought they would both die, following the romeo and juliet theme, but when that didnt happen i wonder if in the sequils, their familes will be partly reconsiled? Maybe not Sephie's family, but i could image Callums family, mainly his motehr who got kind og ignored at the end of the book, accepting Sephie and her child. I'm interested to read the sequils to see how much their sacrefice was worth in the end.
