the ending of Me and You

 (Ending)

       After I have finished reading the book, Me and You. The ending of the book is a sad ending that I did not think about it. Also I was surprised by this sad ending, and from the book I had realized the main character Lorenzo had a huge change compare to the beginning of the book. However I think his all changes are base on his sister Olivia. By the other hand Olivia changed Lorenzo, but Lorenzo also let Olivia changed. Lorenzo become more talkative and more outgoing than before but in my opinion Olivia did not have a huge change like Lorenzo.

       Before the ending of the book, Lorenzo had last dinner with his sister. Based on this event, I realized Lorenzo had a big change. First, Lorenzo talked a lot with his sister. I think before these days which lived with Olivia, Lorenzo never talk to Olivia or other people like this way except his grandma. Second, Lorenzo shared the last food and beers with Olivia. In my opinion this show another big change of Lorenzo made to readers. According to the early part of the book, I know Lorenzo is a lonely person and selfness person. He only wants to have a normal life, and he doesn't really care of the other people's life. However he shared food and beers with Olivia, I think Lorenzo wants Olivia have a healthy body or have a better life or wants she be happy. Because of this I think Lorenzo become more amicable and begin to care about other people. According to these things I learned no one can deny that family is one of the most important aspects of his life, no matter what kind of person his is. Also the love from family is the easiest thing to change a person.

       In the ending of the book, the author turns back to the present. After ten years Lorenzo already has became more mature than before. At this time Lorenzo is in the city Cividale del Friuli. This time is the first time of Lorenzo to meet with Olivia after they lived together in the basement. In the ending, Lorenzo found a letter which is Olivia left to him in order to thanks him about her at her worst time. When Lorenzo finally see the Olivia, Olivia is lying on a table and a sheet covers her up to her neck. Olivia still skinny like before when they were in the cellar, and she is as beautiful as ever. In the ending, we know her dead because of overdose. According to the last sentences from the letter "Remember keep the promise", I think Olivia did not forget her and Lorenzo's promise. In my opinion, Olivia tried to fight with the drugs, but finally she lost. Base on this I learned the reason why all the people told to their children never try the drugs.

       In my opinion, Me and You an interesting book for teenager to read. In conclusion, this book taught me the life and world not always good it also have negative way. The world is cruel for people, and each step in our life is important. If we did something wrong like Olivia did, we might never have chance to start again.
