Two pages from the very end, as Chuck and Toby are riding along, Wolff gives us the following lines:
"And when the summer was over I would go East to a noble school where I would earn good marks, captain the swimming team, and be welcomed into the great world that was my desire and my right. In this world nothing was impossible that I could imagine for myself. In this world the only task was to pick and choose.
Knowing what actually happens after this point in his life, what kind of sense are we to make of this paragraph? Why does he choose to tell us this just before the end?
