Final Post- Discussion Director
At the end of reading 'This Boy's Life," I realized that Jack made no personal growth as a person. It was dissapointing because he seemed like a person that follows his dreams and tries to reach his goals, but in reality, he thinks it's just going to HAPPEN. He doesn't work hard to try to get to them, so at the end he's the same person he was in the beginning-wishing he could be someone else.

I feel the same way after finishing th novel. The character at the end of the novel is pathetic. He ruins his chance at a succesfull life by failing at the boarding school he tried so hard to get in to. The end of the novel was not climactic, it just shows the result of being lazy and by blaming your surrounding on your problems.
