End of ELIC Begin FFN

1. Oskar's sense of self is enhanced on his search through observational learning. On his search for the lock he and in his own encounters many people who all have something in common, which is suffering. He realizes he is not the only one with problems and that everyone suffers in some form, and that by suffering together you can cope more easily. A strong example of this is his knowledge of his mother withholding information from him to shelter him, much like what he does to her sometimes. Oskar is able to relate to other people and identify with their suffering.

2. Thomas Schell discovers that his life philosophy is wrong. He discovers that isolating himself from a situation was not the best solution and in many ways is remorseful for his actions. He discovers on many levels what Oskar discovered about himself. He discovers he wants to live again, and not let death overwhelm him.

3. On the surface, fast food in my life has played a simple, basic role; a cheap and tasty source of foodstuff. However, in recent years bad experiences inspired me to do some research that has opened my eyes to just how deeply fast food impacts everyone's life.

4. After reading FFN, my view towards fast food has become tainted by a sense of corruption from the top down, and how a well orchestrated attack exploiting the masses has become so successful and unabated. FFN is eye-opening, but not unbelievable.
