The Gilda stories definitely ended different from how i thought it would. There were things i liked about the ending and things that i didn't like. One thing i like is how she wrote the book over 20 years ago and how she made many accurate predictions of the future. I think its cool to see people make predictions of the future and then read them and see which ones were right. I like how she predicted things like face-face communication (skype) and flying cars ( which are not out yet but in 30 years, who knows?) One thing i did not like about the ending is how it just leaves Gilda living and mainly unchanged. I feel that she should have followed in the footsteps of the original Gilda. The original Gilda felt that she had filled her purpose in life, and passed her name on to someone worthy and died. I would have wanted this Gilda to do the same. It would be interesting to see who she gave her name to.
One main theme for me that i got out of the novel was to not judge people who look to be outcasts just because their lifestyle is different and we do not understand it. This made me take a look at some people who i viewed as outcasts and think about how they were raised and their lifestyle growing up. I feel you should just view their way of things as different, and not wrong.
