I think that the book is a great finale because it is about choice to an extreme. She leaves her society and goes to be on a ship, which is a choice that was unheard of at the time. She decides to become cannibalistic, when it is against all her gut reactions. She decides to get married, when she didn't believe in marriage earlier in the novel. She shows how choice can change with time, and how she had gone through so much in her life that it was okay to accept the change. I wish we could have read the whole book, but since we only read a few select chapters I did notice how she fought to be different in her life and make choices of her own -- and I feel like if I can take one thing from this class, it is to make my own informed decisions from the choices available and that is exactly what Una did in the novel.
