They go through events that aid their journey to a positive transformation, and begin thinking in different ways.

Milo does not see this as making a deal with the enemy because Germany has a share in the syndicate, and is therefore an ally.

Milo changed a great deal throughout the book. In the beginning of the book, Milo was very ungrateful and was very unhappy. At the end of the book, Milo is a completely different person.

According to Razack (2000), George became a scapegoat for the ongoing colonial policy that resulted in her degradation, shame, and humiliation. Razack argues that “a spatial analysis reveals that bodies in degenerate space lose their entitlement to personhood through a complex process in which that is enacted is naturalized” (155). She uses the metaphor of spatial analysis to assert that George was merely a body waiting to be violated in the space of Canadian social, legal and political life. Sara Ahmed (2010) in her chapter, Melancholic migrants, claims that the melancholic migrant, which one can say George was, holds on to the unhappy objects of differences.

Milo changes throughout his journey because he learns the importance of noticing the world around him and he develops a joy for learning and exploring. When Milo returns home from the Kingdoms of Knowledge, he sees things differently. Milo’s boredom transforms and he now perceives the world with wonder and excitement. In the beginning of the story, Milo walks by things without noticing them, but at the end he notices with all his senses: sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings. Before Milo goes on his journey he doesn’t notice or appreciate the things in his own room. However, at the end of the novel he sees his own room differently “there were books that could take you anywhere, and things to invent, and make, and build, and break,

On the Island of Conclusions, Milo learns to not assume. Learning this lesson is incredibly necessary because if one jumps to conclusions, there can be terrible consequences. For example, when Milo and his friends jump to conclusions, they land on the Island of Conclusions. Here, they meet confusing Canby. Being curious about his surroundings, Milo asks Canby, “But how did we get here?” (p. 168). Canby replies, “You jumped, of course. That’s the way most everyone gets here. It’s really quite simple: every time you decide something without having a good reason, you jump to Conclusions, whether you like it or not,” (p. 168). Deciding something irrationally, Milo jumps to Conclusions with his friends, Tock and the Humbug. Getting back on track, they face the consequence of having to swim back to the trail they were on a few moments ago. For this reason, the experience of bumping into Canby teaches Milo how jumping to conclusions may seem harmless, but in reality, it can negatively affect one’s

In the end, Milo’s journey has been completed—he found Atlantis, fell in love with the woman of his dreams, was declared a hero by the Atlanteans, and is able to live up to his potential as he refuses to return to the surface world, instead choosing to spend the rest of his days happily teaching the Atlanteans about the culture of the outside world and helping them to restore the city to its former greatness.

Doctor Melilot took his nose from the book he was reading. The adventure had taken a firm grip on his mind, and it was a shock when he heard a knock at his study door. For a moment, he forgot where he was. He was loath to leave Captain Goatsbeard to those scallywags on the pirate ship, but he would return to their story, when he had more time.
