End of the Gilda Stories

The last couple of Chapters of the novel seemed to be almost like a different story from the beginning of the book. When I read it i was getting a different feeling from reading the last three chapters than I did with the beginning of the book. One reason might be due to the time period. In the beginning of the book being black was a major part of Gilda's life but maybe as time went on we saw that this had less to do with Gilda's character and in the end didn't have anything to do with it. It may also have to do with the setting and the fact that the book was set in the future.

I actually liked the ending of the book because it was a happy ending for Gilda. Every chapter before the last, Gilda was on the run and always in fear that someone was after her. However at the end of the book when all the humans leave Earth, it gives Gilda a chance to stop running and simply enjoy her family. I feel like Gomez is able to give some sort of closure for Gilda without killing her off.
