i finished the book

I have come to the end of Sweet Thursday, and as with all Steinbeck books, the end leaves your mind sad and yet content. When I left off, Suzy was distraught and angry that she had been taken advantage of by her so called friends, and in that anger she moved out of the Bear Flag and into the empty boiler.
She soon realizes that what she did was selfish and childish, as she has done before. While Suzy is confused, Hazel, one of Macks' friends, is acting simply crazy, with his crazed actions, he breaks Docs' arm. Mack feels really bad for what Hazel has done, not only because of Docs arm, but because it is keeping Doc away from what he likes most, the sea and science. But as usual, Mack pulls the rabbit out of the hat and comes up with a plan that will awe even the most sophisticated of readers. He proposes that they teach Suzy to drive a car so that she can be with Doc alone, and that Doc can do his work at the beach. Everything works out, and Suzy and Doc drive into the distance to the sea.
This ending made me think of the saying that "everything happens for a reason." every action and every word that Steinbeck put down was essential for the end. It couldn't have been written any better because he makes the story have a deeper meaning. He made me think that no matter what I do, or what I say, I will always have control of my future. He is saying that anybody, even a young and confused hooker surrounded by drunks and pervert scientists, has control of their future. Simply put this book is great.
