Effective Conclusion

The last book I read was "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick. The conclusion was effective because it was really touching and you could really feel Max's pain. It also shows growth in the characters, for example Max used to think he had no brain, now he's a lot more confident in himself and believes he can go on without Freak. At the end of the book, Max says he will write a book of all the adventures of Freak the Mighty, and that is the book that the reader just read. He also says "Now that I wrote a book, maybe I will read a few."I think that shows a lot of growth in the character and also, it shows that he learnt how to speak up and really try. It was a really good time to end the book, and it really lead me to the exit.
