    My reaction of Happy Endings and A Rose for Emily. Happy Endings is a quite interesting short story. Margaret Atwood is such a great author of her peers. She has put a different twist in literature. I was quite impressed with this‚ since I have not read anything quite so unique. The short stories that I have read have always been the same type of reading. They all have a straightforward beginning‚ middle‚ and end. With Happy Endings‚ it has many different scenarios that can possibly happen before

    universe‚ why then does evil exist? The prosaic response of "without evil‚ there is no good" no longer holds any validity in this argument as the admitted goal of good is to reach an existence without evil. So even if a God does exist‚ I think it is fair‚ at this point‚ to say that he is the embodiment of both good and evil. And if humoring those who would answer the previous question with the response that there can be no good without evil‚ then can we assume that evil is simply a subsection of
