2 end

A quote near the end of the novel  that really struck out to me was,"After clearing the screen, he scrolled up the Christmas list, things he still had to get. With a simple command a copy of the list was made on the adjacent printer".(400). This quote is very significant because it describes the main characters situation. Basically saying even though his life is difficult he still thinks of his family and the important events they shared together. This quote is important to the novel because it not only focuses on the characters work life but also their personnel life which allows the reader to fully understand the role of the main character.
The ending of the novel was very well written and was very easy to understand. I was able to make sense of it all. The hunt for red October purposed some social and economic concerns to consider.For example, the plot of The Hunt for Red October may focus on the attempt of a Soviet submarine captain and his officers to defect to the United States, but the reasons for the defection are social, not military. The motivations of characters and their interactions with each other are founded in Clancy's perceptions of Soviet and American societies. Marko Ramius, captain of the Russian submarine Red October, is a carefully drawn character. He is Lithuanian and the son of a powerful Communist Party leader.Much of his rise to his role as the Soviet Union's premier expert on submarine warfare has been based on his father's influence. Far from being grateful to his father and the Party, Ramius is troubled and angry.These concerns help influence some great questions to the reader as well. The Hunt for Red October is a big, wide-ranging novel with plenty of good topics for discussion presented in it. In fact, the biggest challenge to a discussion leader may be to keep the discussion of the novel focused. A discussion could easily wander through the technology of modern warfare to advanced technology in general and its effect on people, from cold war politics to international rivalries to internal American politics and how America's politics affects and is affected by international affairs, from Clancy's technique for structuring the novel to whether characters shape events or are shaped by them. Any major aspect of The Hunt for Red October could be discussed and debated for hours. A key question includes, 1. Why is the Red October's propulsion system as important as it is? Why are the Americans and Soviets worried about being able to hear each other's submarines? This question greatly defines the story.

Lastly I found this story very good and well written by the author. I am a fan of this author his style of writing is quite different compared to other authors I have read in the past. This book was in fact what I expected in fact it was much better than I had hoped for it to be. I highly recommend this book to anyone else who enjoys a good read.
