The conclusion of this book has made me realize something...drugs can do some much more than I thought it could. Something that really stood out to me was when Duke mentions that he found the American dream. This is rather important to the book because the whole story is the author's pursuit to find the American dream. In my own words, prior to this book, the American dream is to be able to do what you want in life (i.e. work/play) and enjoy it. Also to make money off of something you love to do is also apart of the American dream. What Duke said the American dream was is quite similar to my prior knowledge of what the American dream is. He was rephrasing the story of how manager that followed his dream that he had ever since he was a little kid. So the American dream to Duke is being able to have a dream and making sure that you pursue then achieve this dream. What do you think is the American dream Kentaro? Also I have noticed something while reading this whole book. It correlates back to my first statement and it has to do with drugs. On the first page it is describing which drugs he has taken and which he has stashed in the car. Also, on the last page it also describes him taking more drugs. Just a speculation though.
