When the movie ends things look much more positive for Oskar than they do for Owen. Oskar simply looks like he is happier with Eli. I want to be happy so I want to be Oskar.

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

Neither of them.
Oskar would have to kill in order to survive, Owen possibly will become Abby's new caretaker.

Oskar. He has a life now. And he has a friend who can protect him until he can grow strong enough to protect himself.
