jack july& Sh'kol

The conclusion to both stories seems like an end, I didn't feel like it lacked anything really. Both stories were very real in there own way, and I feel like the author wasn't to give us the meaning of the text. Like not every story ends with a conflict resolved, like Jack becoming sober for example. But i feel like each story had to get a point across and once the point came out through the text then that was the ending. They give us the reality of situations, we get a trip into Jacks life but in no ways do we experience a true change in the character at the end. Instead it seems like his cycle has started over once again, and that was his life feels like and the story. I love how she says they would never truly know what happened, but that it didn't really matter " I live, I breath, I go, I come back, I am here now." Nothing else...Impossible to be a child forever, a mother always.
