     Well the big climax has come, but it wasn't as bad as I thought It'd be. Shocking, but not really that bad. I guess I made a big deal of it in my previous posts, and that makes this seem a little less extreme as what I had imagined. Boy do I get carried away sometimes. So although all extremity of Arnold's life with all the racism, deaths, and people drinking made this story seem a little to exaggerated, the ending was fairly realistic. Turns out this is just a success story, a good one at that. The plot format was probably what threw me off. Normally it's an intro, story, story story, rising action and then a huge climax (or at least a good one), then a conclusion. This story was intro, rising action, story, climax, story, climax, story action lowering, conclusion. Basically, instead of a regular adventure and then a big part of the story at the end, the big part was at the beginning, and it wound down as the story went. Nonetheless, it has been a great book, and It has managed to keep me interested the whole time. I have been very tempted to keep reading, but I want to make sure I have enough info for each post. At least i'll finally get to finish the book.
