At the end, Jonathan appoints Fletcher as the next instructor and moves on to his next mission elsewhere. Fletcher Lynd Seagull becomes his first student and thereafter a group of Gulls join them. He then decides to come back to his old flock and help other Gulls who might be trying to break free the Gull-family rules like he once did. He is soon carried to a new dimension by two bright Seagulls where he meets like-minded Gulls and learns wise ways of flying. Not worried about his destiny, Jonathan continues practicing flying high. This leads him to be outcasted from his flock and moved to a far-off cliff. Against the warnings of his parents, he practices all alone the art of flying and eventually masters it. However, Jonathan Livingston Seagull was eager to see what happens if he tries to fly high with great speed. Strangely, to fly high would mean to violate the dignity and tradition of the Gull family. Part I to Part IIISeagulls are known to live in huge flocks of thousands with the sole goal to search for food for which all that requires of the seagulls is to fly low over the waters. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a short novella which is centered around the life of a seagull (bird) named Jonathan Livingston. In 2014, having re-discovered the fourth part from an old box of manuscripts (also a consequence of a nearly fatal plane crash in 2012), author Bach sent to the publishers the 45-year old treasure and thus 2014 found the age old book reissued as Jonathan Livingston Seagull: The Complete Edition that includes a 17-page part four of the story. However, at the time of sending the manuscript to the publisher, he withheld the last part considering it unimportant for that time. Initially, the author had written four parts within the story. There is a stunning significance for mentioning about this old book on this blog, at the close of this year. I am talking to you about a book that was first published in 1970, around 45 years ago. Quite an inspirational book to end the year with a positive note! This would be the last book in Nandhini's Book Review Blog for 2014.
