Throughout Cameron's journey, he has difficulties with accepting life, death, and his own fate. It takes him until the end of the book to finally come to terms with life. This moment where he journey's into death is where he hears, "a note of endings, of beginnings. A note you have to be ready to hear.(480)" I find it ironic that the moment in the book that should be the saddest, is actually filled with peace and a certain sense of happiness. In this moment, Cameron finally begins to understand why everything happened the way it did. We see how he has matured through the whole book. In the last few scenes of the book, there is a storm of emotions running wild. There's excitement and anger and sadness and the whole section is just generally hectic. Then, this scene happens and it all settles out. You feel satisfied and fulfilled even though you know everything isn't as it seems. The book as a whole gives you the idea that life really is worth living and death is a part of life. Rather than the age old end that it always was, this author has portrayed death as a new beginning filled with light, hope, and sometimes even love.
