"I didn't write it for you. I wrote it for me. I wrote it to work my way through the story that formed me. I wrote it to examine the past and figure out who Murdock was, so that I can figure out who I was. I wrote it to understand who I am."

I really like this quote and I feel it really adds emotion to the story and the character. I think this is important because throughout the whole story a boy is writing to his youngest sister about their life and how they grew up, trying to help her understand it more. But at the end, he realized that all along he was writing it to help himself  "understand" the past and who he was, like the quote states. He had felt like he had made a new beginning after that. He had gotten through it all even though the waters were rough.
