    4. The British novelist Fay Weldon offers this observation about happy endings. "The writers, I do believe, who get the best and most lasting response from their readers are the writers who offer a happy ending through moral development. By a happy ending, I do not mean mere fortunate events -- a marriage or a last minute rescue from death -- but some kind of spiritual reassessment or moral reconciliation, even with the self, even at death." Choose a novel or play that has the kind of ending Weldon describes. In a well-written essay, identify the "spiritual reassessment or moral reconciliation" evident in the ending and explain its significance in the work as a whole.…

Causing the reader to wonder, “What is a ‘happy ending’?”. Everyone has a different interpretation of what a happy ending is and Atwood encourages her readers to explore their thoughts through her writing.…

    McCourt survives a terrible childhood. He struggles with rejection and taunting from his peers. He had difficulty with himself and his morals. His family barely had any money at all because of his alcoholic father and experienced grieving deaths in his lifetime. Though most kids today do not experience the same things McCourt goes through, the reader still sympathizes with McCourt. I even feel sorry him. I pity him; however, he does not. McCourt describes his story with a tone of humor. All these people tell McCourt to die for this or that, but yet he wonders “if [there is] anyone in the world who would like [him] to live” (McCourt 69). He did not feel sorry for himself. Most of the story contains aspiration to be a working man, earn money for his family, and eventually move to America. At the end of the book, he achieves those dreams and it touches the reader. Then, I feel very happy and proud of him because I know he was on his way to greener pastures. The reader clearly receives the message that even though the situation is tough, it will eventually pass.…

    As the details in this essay illustrate the people who fail are the ones, who’s bigger than they are, and those who prevail, face a problem that’s manageable. In these chapters we have learned that many people need help for they can succeed in life. Adversity around the world around us is very difficult. Prevailing isn’t easy, you have to try enough to get there. If I were a character in the book Tears of a Tiger, I would tell Andy “Feel your heart is it beating?

    Writers use many tactics to get across to their readers. In order to get the moral of the story or the overall theme of the book, they might write about the main character reaching an epiphany of some sort that reveals the focus of the story. Writers tend to end their story with a happy ending in which the main character experiences a spiritual reassessment or a moral reconciliation. In Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, the main character, Scarlett O'Hara, undergoes a spiritual reassessment and moral reconciliation.…

    Within “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat,” the narrators share similarities in their view of an individual and in their actions. Both narrators claim that they are sane as their senses have been evidence to support them and by having the ability to wholly retell the events that had transpired. In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator kills an old man, however he had no ill will against him, stating, “I loved the old man” (“The Tell-Tale Heart”). His fury was at the old man’s eye, which he deemed to be vexing him. He chopped the old man apart and hid the parts under the floorboards. He was so proud of his work that when the police came, he took them to the spot above the body: “In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into…
