The Spanish say that they destroyed the colony but that can’t be true because they were still looking for the English colony as late at 1600 which would’ve been almost 10 years after White had realized that the colony was gone. Another theory is known as the Dare Stones. These stones were found in 1937 to 1941 and were allegedly written by Eleanor Dare who was the mother of Virginia Dare. The stones supposedly told the stories of the colonists and how they had died. Some historians do believe that at least one of the stones has a real story on them, but many don’t. While there are probably many theories about what happened to

The book won awards and was even the number one best seller in the Garden of Beast. The story remained

The legend surrounding the stone helps to add intrigue to the reader and gives them something to follow, but there is much more happening throughout All the Light We Cannot See to grab the reader’s attention. Whether the stone causes the tragedy to Marie-Laure or just happens to be present while tragedy is occurring helps to advance the plot, and adds intrigue at the end of the story where the reader is left bearing the question as to whether Werner had the stone when he died or if the sea reclaimed the stone after Marie-Laure placed it in the grotto. Anthony Doerr was most likely trying to write the story so that people could read the whole story and feel bad for Marie-Laure, and possibly Werner, because of their involvement surrounding the stone, while some people would realize that it wasn’t necessarily about the stone, but more about the tragedy that occurs throughout a war. Although the fate of the Sea of Flames is mysterious at the end of the book, what is clear is that tragedy surrounds the bearer of the stone, and that it has a great effect on the characters and plot throughout All the Light We Cannot

Nowhere is this better evidenced than when Douglas Preston and Walter are riding through the Zuni Mountains and come across inscriptions in the stone in addition to polished areas where inscriptions were removed. Of them, Preston says, “In an act of grotesque official vandalism, a WPA crew burnished off hundreds of inscriptions, simply because the supervisors did not recognize the name, or thought the person too insignificant, or thought the date too recent, to be of importance” (382). The very reason that people leave messages written in stone is to declare that they were there, that the person existed.

But over time some of these building would be torn down to make room for other uses and the some of the larger stones would be reused. Wells see’s this as another example of how life didn’t stop just continued on differently. The studies of these cities reveal that there was continuity from one generation to the next and not abrupt declines followed brilliant discoveries.

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.

He admits to the interviewers that it is up to them to choose which story they prefer. Pi stated: “You can’t prove which story is true and which is not. You must take my word for it … In both stories the ship sinks, my entire family dies, and I suffer … So tell me, since it makes no factual difference to you and you can’t prove the question either way, which story do you prefer?” (317). While these statements from Pi leave the reader with the intriguing question of which story to believe, it is not proper or appropriate. The ending does not properly conclude the story with the reader knowing what actually happened. It only makes them wonder if most the book they read was nothing more than a fantasy made up by
