The same cannot be said for How Many Miles to Babylon‚ which ends in a pessimistic and gloomy scene. Alec Moore is awaiting execution‚ as the novel comes full circle. He is given “a pen and paper” because he is an “officer and a gentleman”. He has nothing to do but wait. Alec refused to kill Jerry by firing squad‚ so in a sense‚ he asserted his own humanity in the face of war. However‚ this noble act is detrimental‚ as this act of compassion tragically costs him his life.Johnston’s outlook is in

matter how hard one tries‚ are impossible to change; last names being one of them. Quite few people care about what their last name really means. Last names are most commonly accepted and owned as they are‚ without the necessity of changing them‚ and seen as those who have been simply passed down by generations. It doesn’t go far beyond that… for most people. This was my case until the day I got interrogated at the airport when an
