Thinking Activity : The sense of an Ending
1) How do you understand memory and history with reference to your reading of his novel.
We all have our own narratives of life. You have a "version" of that life that is a story you tell yourself and others, about what your life has been. But it is only that, a story, and it is just one version of a possible number of stories. Tony reealizes that the version of his life that he has said is himself a recollection of an event that is inherently wrong. He comes to realize that the distortion of memory can change anything and everything that he believes is true for so long.
