    Me too, but I'd probably avoid the message boards afterwards to allow for serious, easy-flowing discussion.

    I feel the same way. Why call all the people that helped him get to Tower? I think he called the names of the people that most influenced him on his way. Patrick didn't do much of that and plus he was sort of weird.

    didnt do that much? sorry, but that is a retarted statement. roland couldn't have reached the Tower without him erasing Los'. but I guess the Tower isn't important, I mean its only Roland's lifelong quest, pfshh Tower.

    Nice! Insulting others' opinions! Good start! (sarcasm)

    Simple fact...Roland didn't go to the Tower for Patrick. His lifelong quest, as you say, had nothing to do with Patrick. So, he isn't important enough for Roland to say his name. Simple really.

    I got the impression that Roland for whatever reason didn't like Patrick very much. He said the Billy Bumbler was worth more.

    Roland cried the names he had to cry. What he felt. We can ask questions... why he cried Hax and why he didn't cry Patrick but in fact we must accept that he cried out the names that were deep in his heart.

    Roland would have understood.

    For him Oy did mean more. But it's natural. Oy saved his life and he had been the part of his ka-tet for long so for me it's not surprising.

    Roland would have understood.

    All I meant was that Patrick didn't do much to influence Roland. He was just another person who was in his path to the Tower. Like many others that helped Roland get to where he needed to go, so did Patrick. Was Roland supposed to make a list and sit at the foot of the Tower and yell everyones names who crossed his path in the 1000 or so years it took him to get there? I personally don't think so.

    Exactly, Letti. Well said. And thank you for saying it so nicely too.

    maybe Roland figured since Patrick was right there within sight of the Tower he didn't have to call his name because the Tower knew he was right there and saw him help. ...yes, i am being at least partially facetious.

    At that moment... when he was there in front of the Tower I don't the he was conscious. He was no more than flesh with tons of oppressed feelings. He didn't think, he got rid of his chains that one was the freest moment of his life.
    He cried out the names he found in his heart.


    (I think Roland needs time to love.
    I am sure he liked Patrick but they didn't spend enough time together. They met too late at the end of the path.)

    Roland would have understood.

    Actually, knowing his meticulous nature, that's what I would expect him to do.

    This is how I saw it also. Also, the names that he found in his heart were those that were part of what shaped him and his quest.

    I don't think so. I am sure that list was something he kept thinking of, and repeating to himself all through the quest. However exhausted, confused, torn apart by contradictory feelings, he was still a gunslinger, who was taught, and who learned very well (the last survivor, remember?) to do exactly what he intended to; I am sure he could get it together at that most important moment of his life.

    Roland repeating something to himself? I cannot imagine that.

    I can, and easily. I am sure that's the way he was getting through all Vannay's subject... slowly but steadily

    It's interesting to see that you can imagine such a thing... we have never read about it in the books and for me Roland is simply not that tpye of guy who would repeat anything to himself.
    If you ask me if he had to remember 15 numbers to get into somewhere he would never think of it just when he is there and he would think ka helps him to remember, but he would never repeat those numbers to himself. There (at the door) he would see how he can manage.

    I think he passad Vannay's subject because he is not stupid and he always knew enough to be able to pass - no more. He wasn't be best... maybe he was the worst but he knew enough to pass.

    Roland is the man of the moment to me.

    Roland would have understood.

    and what you said described your position (even if I don't agree with it) quite accurately without dragging in any superfluous entities.
