Event 6

The last event is one of the most important events through the whole story. It's the solution to the conflict, the event where Matty dies. Even though he is weak, he still uses his powers to save everyone. In the text it says, "His brain and spirit became part of the earth." (Lowry, chap 21). This shows how Matty used his healing powers to restore the land to what it used to be. In the text it says, "Drifting there, he looked down and saw his own self becoming motionless." (Lowry, chap 21). This is the quote that tells you that Matty has died. Its pretty self-explanatory, too, once you read the quotes before it that say how he watched "his human self labor and writhe" and, how "he rose" and he "floated above" (Lowry, chap 21).  Over-all, this part of the story is the important because it's the solution and it concludes the book with explaining many things that happened in the story.

Matty died! :(
