Bless Me, Ultima final blog
With the conclusion of the story, I find myself with mixed feelings about how it ended. I am saddened by the death of Ultima, but the story that I have experienced has left me very satisfied with the book as a whole. I had always known that Tenorio would cause more trouble after Narciso's death, and my previous predictions are proof as to my thoughts on Ultima's death. I had thought that she might have been saved by Antonio, but that has been proved wrong. At first, I was almost angered at Ultima's death, as I was with Tony on his feelings of how evil can conceivably reign over good. It somewhat took me by surprise. Tony was running all the way home, and he had escaped Tenorio and made such a long journey, not only on his way home but as a man throughout the entire book, and I honestly thought that he would make it home. I had always known that Ultima's owl played a bigger role than we were meant to think, and apparently Tenorio had known that as well. In a way, I am at a loss for words, because I am still in shock at how Ultima could possibly die, and yet I have accepted it similarly to how Tony accepted it and learned from it. Overall, I find myself very pleased with this story as a whole, and am glad that I got to experience this journey.
