Its kind of a funny story pg 304-444

Summary-
          As the book is comming to an end, Craig is feeling alot better and has alot of more confidence in himself then he did before. He is now drawing maps inside people's brains and is just having fun with it. He also becomes really close with Noel and they play the question games every night, where they ask each other a question. It seems like Craig really likes her. He really seems like he fits. His friends Bobby and Jimmy all will miss him and he finds that he belogs and he kind of doesn't want to leave. He calls his principle and finds out that they all support him, but Craig decides to leave his old school and go to art school were he may actually fit in. He makes alot of decisions on what he wants to do and actually figures himself out, he knowns know that his old friends were part of the problem and know he has new friends that are part of the solution. Craig now knows what he wants to be an Artist. He enjoys art, he loves it so much that before he left the hospital he drew everyone a map of themselves, everyone who lined up to get one was so please, and the strory endes Craig leaving the Hospital.

Quote-
    "I hold out my hand to Noelle in a fit of Confidence" ( Vizzini 335)

Reaction-
         I thought this quote really shows how Craig really overcame his fear of talking to girls and people and general, where know he is actually talking to a girl with great confidence. But not only is he talking to her but he is also dancing. He goes from being socialy drained to someone who is the life of the party. I loved this book it was really funny and I actually wanted to finish the book this time. So I think that author really did a good job in communicating with the readers and I feel that this book would be good for anyone who just wants a laugh or a good book to read.
