The Neverending Story:  A Classic Novel       The Neverending Story by Michael Ende perfectly draws the image of a successful novel because it’s overall effect on the reader is intimate and it recognizes itself as a different novel from others especially using a metaphor of stories giving birth to other stories.  Considered as a children’s novel, it should be given a chance to prove itself in the realm of other such intelligent novels. The novel expands

a copy of Michael Ende's 1979 novel upon which the movie was loosely based, ""The Neverending Story"". I was not surprised that the largely dark tone of the movie was, of course, much darker, deeper and much more sustained in the novel. But I am not here to compare the book to the movie, both of which are classics in their own right. Like the best of what is considered children's literature, ""The Neverending Story"" has an appeal and a depth that literally begs for continued readings as one grows

THE NEVERENDING STORY We learn that a boy named Bastian runs into a book shop to hide from some school bullies, and when he gets in the room, he meets a man named Carl Coreander. This man owns the book store, however he does not take kindly to Bastian's abrupt intrusion and says that Bastian wouldn't understand any of the books in the store.

this passage broak my heart. In The Neverending Story atreyu’s horse and friend Artax drowns in the swamp of sadness. the movie “shows a split view of the horses owner atreyu and bastian.Both have tears streaming down their face, Bastian blows his nose on his handkerchief. Bastian turns the page” (Michael Ende 3).”Artax was such a sweet horse I was so sad when he died. In the book Haroun and The Sea of Stories, Haroun lives in the sad city where all people are sad and factories

Simulation Proliferation and the City Mr. Hand wears all black, is tall, thin, and pale. He floats around a dark city and ends far too many lines with a creepy self-affirming “yesss.” In Dark City (Alex Proyas 1998) we see over and over again indications of the tropes and repetitions that make up the urban/filmic imagination.

and blankets, I settled into my seat to watch The Neverending Story once again. The exact number is unknown, but I know I watched it enough to have specific scenes memorized. A childhood that seems so distant suddenly becomes close in measurements of one hundred thirty minutes. One hundred thirty minutes of a beautiful blend of animation and realism, a questioning of what happens when imagination meets reality. Each time I watched The Neverending Story I expected it to be better than the last, although
