The Reader (End)

So I've not been updating to the blog as regularly during this 2nd part of term but here is what has happened so far:
I now actually know what the "kid" is called, his name is Michael Berg. 

After the trial ended and Hanna confessed of having "written" the letter saying she was guilty and what happened in the church, she was sentenced to a lifetime sentence in prison whether as the other defendants from the trial were only sentenced for a few months in jail. 

After Michael finishes his studies in law he gets married and fathers a child. He is unable to succeed in a long-term relationship, however, and divorces after only a few years. He is largely uninvolved with his family and does not have any strong friendships. Eventually Michael begins to correspond with Hanna in prison. Instead of writing her letters, however, he records himself reading aloud from books. He forwards the cassette tapes, devoid of any personal communication, to Hanna in prison. He eventually receives a "thank you" note from Hanna who has used her time in prison to learn, read, and write.

In 1984, Hanna is released from prison, having served 18 years there. The prison contact Michael and ask him to become involved in Hanna's release from prison and reintegration into society. Michael finally gets an apartment and a job, but however he does not communicate with Hanna directly. On her last night in prison Hanna hangs herself in her jail cell.
