Garp's Epilogue

     The Headmaster: The only reason that Gawaine ever got that far was because of the headmaster. The headmaster gave him spirit, but after the headmaster told him the truth, I think Gawaine lost his spirit again. I think that is probably how Gawaine dies.

Though it was unfortunate to have such an intelligent man like Morrie to pass away due to a deadly disease in the end, I still think the ending was appropriate and satisfying. Morrie was glad to spend his hardest time with the author and we can see the author was changing bit by bit afterwards. He finds the true meaning of life and learns to love, cherish and appreciate. ‘Love wins. Love always wins.’ as quoted by Morrie. Morrie changes the author's perception of life, as well as the

Chapter 4 starts off with Nick providing a list of all the guests who attended Gatsby’s parties in the summer and the irony is that none of them actually knew him. When Nick accompanies Gatsby on a trip into the city for lunch, he reveals the truth about his past. Gatsby states that he is from a wealthy family from the Midwest town of San Francisco, he graduated from Oxford, and declared himself a hero in the war. During lunch, Gatsby introduces Nick to his former business partner, Meyer Wolfsheim who apparently fixed the 1919 World Series. Based on the conversation, Nick begins to think that Gatsby is involved in an organized crime. When they leave the restaurant, they come across Tom Buchanan and as Nick introduces Gatsby to him, Gatsby becomes

The beginning of chapter four starts off with Nick giving a list and describing the guests that come to Gatsby’s parties. The tone of this passage seems to be casual but amused. Nick starts ranting a list of endless names, each with a description about that person, while seeming very interested in who these people are and why they are at Gatsby’s party. He says it as if he has had a lot of time to analyze and group the different kinds of people at the party. He is able to group them apart from East Egg and West Egg. He tells a lot of background information about each person,like the fact the “young Brewer, who had his nose shot off in the war” or “Edgar Beaver, whose hair turned cotton-white one winter afternoon for no good reason at all” (Fitzgerald

The learner and experimenter were actually controlled variables and part of the experiment. The teacher taught the learner certain words, then would test him on the words that the learner learned. If the learner answered wrong, the teacher would “shock” him with a small voltage of electricity. With each wrong answer, the teacher would have to increase the voltage. As well as, the learner needed to pretend that they were actually getting shocked since the teacher could not see the damage he was

The sky is a bright orange hue with yellow streaks stroking over it. The September air is flowing its way back into Indio’s atmosphere with a jolting push. Its quiet, except for the distant morning cars on the nearby road.

Atwood sums in her finishing remarks; in the end, “John and Mary die, John and Mary die, John and Mary die. “The anthology of “Happy Endings” forces the readers to question the meaning of life in reference to the plot. Every story—carried to its chronological conclusion—has the same ending, since all life has the same consummation. One may “bite the dust” in the heat of battle; one may die at a young age by drowning in a swimming pool, or in a nursing home, by a loved one, or alone. Be that as it may, there truly is no such thing as a happy ending; only a happy “middle” because man—just like every form of matter--will meet its end. The story does not lie in its closure, rather, it lies in what we do when we transit to there—the

John Mayer never makes it explicit if Walt succeeded. Walt’s “friends bring him up when they’re drinking,” but it is unknown in what sense. As I am only the unripe age of twenty, there is a lot of uncertainty in my life. It is unsure if I will succeed, but at least I am putting in my best effort to attempt

Hans woke up and immediately noticed the change in the atmosphere. He also saw the joy on the face of the aide who had come to inform him.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is an intriguing book about the life of a boy named Pip who is determined to make his way up the social ladder, and become a gentleman. These goals that Pip has for himself are a key factor in the overall meaning of this story. The ending passage, when Pip and his early life love interest, Estella, reunite provides a basis in which we can infer the ways that the author has shown ambiguity in imagery and dialogue. The ambiguity of the ending contributes to the overall meaning by the choice of wording and symbolism, such as, mist, shadows, and darkness to show a sense of uncertainty to whether or not Pip met his “great expectations”.

I decided to have Russell die as an alternate ending. To show that not everything goes the way you plan .Carl has a Déjà vu feeling when Russell dies since he treats Russell as if he was Ellie.

I find the novel ending tragic for a couple reasons. One, this is because everyone found out the operation was a scam and only killed brain cells. Second, Algernon had died and there was no bringing him back. Lastly, since Algernon had died, we can only assume one outcome, and that is for Charlie to die. Even though it doesn’t say he dies, we can already conclude the worst.

Sincerely, F Scott Fitzgerald is an arts documentary hosted by Jay McInerney, a really good re-telling of Fitzgerald's biography. McInerney explores the life and writing of Fitzgerald and did a great job on the overlap between Fitzgerald's life and the stories he wrote, with a special focus on the genesis of The Great Gatsby, which was considered as Fitzgerald’s greatest work, and its author's final years in Hollywood.

While this was a heartbreaking ending, I was fond of it. For most novels read, the endings are quite predictable:

When I was reading the story, I was really enthralled with how it would end, and what would be the answer to the
