End of Disgrace

Wow, first of all, this book had a very unexpected ending.  I think it’s really neat to see how the characters have changed throughout the book, of course mostly David.  He is a very unique character.  I was really surprised to read that David went back to see the student’s family even after everything that happened between the two.  Not only was it surprising but to me, it seemed that he was very calm.  Even as he was talking to the dad in his office, things got a little tiny bit heated but the way the book was written; to me it seemed that the situation was still really calm.  Oh yeah and umm…why would he go to dinner at their house?!  I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who was thinking this but ummm, wouldn’t that be incredibly awkward?!  “Hey, I brought this guy home, ya know…the guy that pretty much raped our daughter, and he’s here for dinner honey!”  Anyway yeah, what a weird thing to do.  If I was in David’s position I don’t think I would ever have the courage to visit their family and none the less, stay there for dinner.  weirdddd.  As for the characters, Petrus is also another really weird character.  Although I can’t really go into explaining why…he just…is!  I didn’t find anything to me that really stood out in this section that related to the theorists ideas but I think there were a lot of good examples throughout the book and I’m really glad we got to read this book, I loved it!
