The author would chose to end the story this way because it leaves the reader to imply that Johnny is going to fight in the war. I think this because for one Rab gives Johnny his gun before he dies and Dr. Warren is going to fix his hand. The last line also leaves me to imply this because in order for one to rise another must fall, which means he needs to be part of the war and risk his life in order to protect the colonists.
Rab’s death turns Johnny fully into his new identity. Johnny’s thoughts are selfless, and he focuses on the greater good of the war. Johnny no longer focuses on gaining wealth and revenge. He redirects his pride toward his country and his fellow man.
