I disliked the ending of the book. It was definitely NOT a happy ending. I understand the ending and the significance of it not being a happy one‚ but that does not make me feel satisfied with it. The promise of the rest of the book is an ending of redemption and hope. People in the class argued opposite me saying that the ending was hopeful and that children are not resilient. I will defend‚ in brief‚ my perspective as to why I believe children are resilient and why I didn¡¦t feel the book¡¦s conclusion

Allison and I seem to have different interpretations of Ahmed’s criticism of the pursuit of happy object and the promise of happiness. Ahmed does not argue that all happy objects “inherently fails to fulfill the promise of happiness” (Wong‚ 1). The criticism of happy objects does not reside in the objects themselves but our relationships with them. The relationship that we tend to have with happy objects is a possessive one.
