In the final chapter both characters went separate ways, Bernard was preparing to leave the World State and go to Falklands with Helmholtz. As for John he left readers feeling glum that he decided to commit suicide after realizing that he needed to be purified from the sins of coming to the World State instead of staying on the Indian Reserve.

Being the last sentence of the book, and out of all the passages I highlighted this one stood out to me and described Wiesel’s experience in just a few simple sentence. He looked at himself for the first time in many years, and did not recognize himself he saw a different person.
