Flight to Canada (Ending)

The last section of reading for this book was much easier to read. I don’t know if it was because I finally got used to Reed’s style of writing or because there seemed to be less historical and literary references. I particularly found the ending of this novel to be very dramatic and filled with twists I didn’t see coming.
For instance I was glad to see that Quaw Quaw and Quickskill finally got things figured out between them, although I did not see their break up coming while I was reading I was glad to see it because now they can both pursue their desired futures. I felt like at time they were holding each other back from what each really wanted to do and now they can fulfill those dreams.
The part of this section that I was reallt taken aback was when we find out that Mr. Swille left his estate and money to Uncle Robin. I guess when I read that Uncle Robin was writing the will for Mr. Swille that I at first, never really thought that he was going to leave all of his possesions to Robin. I thought this because Uncle Robin stole Mr. Swille’s wife from him and I couldn’t imagine Swille leaving anything to him. Then I thought about it a little more, Mr. swille didn’t really leave him all this Uncle Robin simply set it up that way just so that he would receive all of the inheritence. I find this funny becaue it is like eh got the last laugh. No one thought he was intellegent enough to do something like this, mostly because blacks lacked intelectual respect from the whites.
