    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.

If one does not read the last part of the book‚ one will not be able to see the crucial meaning

    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. It is divided into four parts‚ each giving a very frank and emotionless set of love scenarios. She purely tells it like it is; simply fact-based and stoic without any sort of feeling whatsoever. One thing leads to another‚ and that is that. Overall‚ the language
