1. What happens to the characters Dade and Julian at the end of their respective stories? How are their situations similar?

How does this quotation apply to Julian at the end of the story?

3. All of the selections in this unit address the concept of self-knowledge in some way. Pick two of the selections and explain how they explore the ways in which characters either develop self-knowledge or their knowledge of themselves changes.
