Ending

The ending of the novel, Picking Cotton, was very satisfying. After Jennifer realized she had made a mistake, the only way she could help herself was to talk to Ronald. Once they sat down and talked to each other, they became the best of friends.

Ronald Cotton and Jennifer Thompson are now friends after the entire fiasco is over.

At one point in the book, Jennifer's son, Blake, asked if he could ride with Ron, and Jennifer said that he could. I thought it was very interesting that the person she had wrongfully put into jail for 11 years was being trusted with her son's life. I think a theme in this book is definitely Faith. Ronald kept on believing throughout prison that he would one day be free, and his sister even told him to keep on believing. His bond with God grew as he awaited his freedom in prison, and when he was wrongfully convicted for two rapes, he sang a song about the presence of God in his life. I enjoyed this book a lot. I liked particularly how Ronald tells of his hardships in prison. The one problem I didn't like is that the Prologue gave the ending away. I would have liked to be in suspense, not knowing if Ronald was going to be set free.
