After reading the end of the story Breath, Eyes, Memory I reflect back on the events of the story and how i looked at each character is way different now. For example with matrine I used to not think much of her but after she died it really who her character was and what she was supposed to symbolize became more clear to me. It was very sad that she died the way she did and after all she had been through. Sophie matured a lot from this loss and the readers are able to see that she has alot of love for her mother despite not being able to show it before. Personally, I had a feeling something bad would happen to someone and I was thinking Tante Atie would be the unfortunate one but I felt bad for Matrine when I realized it was her that was gonna die. The section of the ending that mentioned “a place where wind blows through trees and it sounds like songs” was interesting and seemed very cryptic in my opinion.
