Weaver Final Post

One of the themes in the story is to stay strong. Juan is a new man now because he has gone through so much. He once called himself a coward but now, how can he be. Juan watched both of his friends die and faced a hurricane. He went through many emotional battles too. He is not that same man we all knew at the beginning of the story, nervous and cautious, he is a stronger person, inside and out. He knows he has over come everything and he tells us that at the story's end. He lets us know that he is a new, changed man and he knows it too. Also I believe that he thinks that everything is going to perfect now. He thinks, what could happen that is worse than what I've already been through? He is in America, he is out of the middle of the ocean, he told Raul's brother that he is gone, and he is with Carmen. What could go wrong? Another thing that I noticed about Juan is that he hasn't changed so much that he is cocky about what he went through, He is just grateful that he made it and is with Carmen.
