The begining of the end is where the man and boy arrive at the beach.
This is because the journey that the two had been on for the entrety of the book is now over and they have nothing left to do but eat what they have found on the ship and the slowly die.
The cares of the two are shown at the end here as the father dosent apologise for the world being the way it is, the state of their lives or the hoplesness of their lives, he instead says "sorry it's not blue" about the sea, thus showing that the two are realastic only caring about what is there and what wonders they want to see before their deaths.
The boy hopes for colour but in the end everything is "Cold, desolate, birdless, vast and cold" and gray. Everything on the road was the same, the ocean shows that the rest of the world is like this too.
The ending is when the father dies.
this is because everything so far in the book has been from the fathers point of veiw, this is the switchover to the son and the establishment of a new norm. Also throughout the novel the characters of the father and son are emotionless but at this point the characters show these previously unknown emotions. "you said you would never leave me" showing that the boy is still here and healhy beside his dieing father, that he will have to go on without the man. "I know. I'm sorry. You have my whole heart." the father finally lets his love for the child show through his words instead of his actions, the boy beys "Just take me with you, please" but because the father knows he loved the boy he could not bring himself to kill the boy showing that his wife was right at the begining of the novel, fulfilling the boys prophecy.
The ending is when the father dies.
