Double Take: End

The end of the memoir makes me like the book a little better. Although I would have liked to see Kevin and Beth end up together I think it was a more realistic thing to do. They probably still contacted each other by email. If I went through that then I probably would most likely still want to talk to that person especially because they made each other happier. I think that Kevin taking pictures of people that glanced at him even for a second either in the picture or prior to him taking it made him realize that him having no legs doesn't just effect him by the constant looks of people feeling bad for him but it also interferes with the people who see him. When I was little I once saw a man with no legs and I just stared at him not because he looked different but because I was interested, I didn't judge him in my mind because I was too little to understand the judgment in our world today, I saw him as someone brave. Kevin got pictures of not just adults but children and I would be most interested in seeing the pictures with children because their faces are harder to comprehend, whereas an adults face will probably come off as them feeling bad for Kevin.
