Towards the end of the book eragon feels the need to become more involved with the situation that he is in. The varden is comprised of dwarfs, elves, and whatever are left of the humans. At this part of the book eragon feels the need to be apart of something bigger eventhough he doesn't realize it yet. He is torn between the two groups. Each of the groups have a postive and negative side yet he has no incentive to go to ethier side. The problem with him is towards the end of the book is that each side has it good parts and its bad parts which lead to eragon not being able to any resposibilities. As a result he eragon loses his morals and has to rely on his friend to knock some sense into him. This reminds of the yin and yang symbol becasue there needs to be a balance inbetween the two apposing forces in order for eragon to find his peace. Sometimes people find themselves in a similiar situations when they are torn between two friends. Neither of the friends can be right or wrong but just the fact of taking one person sides over the other person makes you a bad person. We need that third person to help us out in such situations who is more experienced and does not favor ethier side. In the book eragon had mortag who was his friend who was able to help him to chose. In our lives that person can be a friend, teacher, or parent. 
Being the last post I do plan on reading eldest which is the next part in the triolgoy.This book also won a New York Times best seller so the story must be just as good a Eragon. From my friends I have heard that a new dragon rider appears to help Eragon. The following is a link to an influencial blogger who works for google. He wrote a book review on eldest. I hope it is a good read just like eragon.
It must have been a really hard decision for what side Eragon was going to pick. I know how hard it is to make a really hard decision; there can be both advantages and disadvantages for whatever you chose. In the end you have to make the decision that he knows is right.
