    loose ends the way a proper goodbye helps tie up the pain of parting. However, a bad ending, or no goodbye, leaves the reader empty and irritated, since the story has not accomplished its purpose for the reader. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain had an inappropriate ending because it did not effectively fully humanize African Americans and the main character, Huckleberry Finn, did not fully overcome his racist

    I knew it from the moment after the conspirators and I decided to make the plan to kill Caesar that Antony was going to bring trouble. Now here we are, Brutus and I heading to war against Antony and Octavius. I also expected Antony to seek revenge against us for Caesar's death. I've never seen Antony as a honorable person but just because he's seeking revenge for his friend's death, doesn't mean that his nobility has left him. On the other hand, Brutus and I relationship has always been strong, until

    The two main ideas would be a boy who enters slavery to then escape and live a successful life and How Fredrick Douglass did not give up and kept his spirit up in order to feel more human than just a brute. The reason I thought of the first main idea was because the story starts off when Fredrick was a child and how scared he was when someone was whipped if it was one of his family members he thought it would be him next and hide in the closet, and when he is older and being sold and moved to different
