Happy Endings. Or Are They? Never have I read a short story quite like Happy Endings by Margaret Atwood. As a matter of fact‚ a good amount of my peers and I have become baffled on whether or not to even refer to it as a legitimate story.

An ending is the most crucial part of a book. Not only does it conclude the whole book‚ but it can also give the reader a whole new interpretation to what the book is about. ¡®The Lord of the Flies¡¯ by William Golding is a typical book that illustrates this point. Without the ending‚ the book would hardly amount to half of its true value. This is because the ending shows what the book is really about. If one does not read the last part of the book‚ one will not be able to see the crucial meaning
