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
