1. What happens to the characters Dade and Julian at the end of their respective stories? How are their situations similar?
Answer: At the end, both Dade and Julian feel alone in the world. Dade feels alone because he realizes he won't ever understand the people around him and they won't understand him. Julian feels alone also because his mother just died and Julian feels alone without her.

2. In his final lecture to his mother, Julian says: “You needn’t act as if the world had come to an end…because it hasn’t.
