The climax to this story is great, leaving the reader with an interesting note. After Ishmael finishes his "recovery", he finally is allowed the chance to leave for America. He receives his passport and leaves for the airport. When he finally lands in JFK airport he is relieved he has made it. When he landed he was required to go through customs and when the officer had him raise his hands for a pat down, Ishmael's pants fell to the ground. After a few giggles from on lookers, Ishmael picked up his pants and was on his way to a brand new life. Ishmael ends his story with himself and his new high school friends surrounding a camp fire. They all tell stories about certain things. Yet Ishmael just sits and remains quiet.
What a fantastic book! I would recommend this to all. This book really highlights the raw savageness that humans create, yet underlines the importance of one's own personal world in many ways. Any person could pick this book and come from it with a better understanding of how they should conduct themselves as a human.
