Journal#9:

The structure in the end and the beginning is consistent. In the begging she is talking about the horizon, and is talking with Pheoby. At the end of the novel she had just finished talking with Pheoby and is thinking about Tea Cake. She refers to horizon again, instead of it always being far away through out the novel, she says that she grabs it and wears it around her. The horizon has always been what she was looking for, and now since she is wearing it she has finally gotten what she wanted. This also creates a smooth ending to the novel, since she finally has conquered over her struggles.
