There are two types of people in the world: the ones who like a definitive ending and the ones who leave it up to their imagination. I consider myself to be the type to leave it to my imagination, therefore I found the epilogue unnecessary information that Dostoevsky could have left for the reader to complete. Part VI ended strongly, it captured Raskolnikov’s psychological regret in realistic manner. The epilogue, in a way, watered down the strength of Part VI. All of the developing relationships and conflicts ended in a ‘happy ever after’ epilogue, decreasing the depth of the whole novel.…
Nevertheless, sometimes slight changes appearance wise can affect how we see a character. In the novels, the character of Snape is twenty years younger. While watching the movie for the first time, I felt like the younger Snape with his nasty attitude represented a more tragic contrast than the older Snape did.…
1.The points where I started to noticed foreshshadowing of the ending, was in section 3 where Emily goes to drug store to buy arsenic. There was no information on how Emily was going to use that poison. The story did prepare me for something different then I was expecting. I would of thought Emily would of used the poison on herself, to end her life after she had lost her father. She used it on Homer 2.…

There is a name that is known for mischief all for the good of the people. He is like a shadow in the background lurking in the day and night. Not many know what he looks like, only his helpers and the people that he help. I like the description. His name is the Scarlet Pimpernel, leaving a seal of a scarlet pimpernel wherever he has been.…
The ending consisted of Helmuth being sadly executed. I expected the ending because on page 77, when Helmuth and Gerhard were listening to the radio the newscaster states, “Violations will be punished by imprisonment or by death”. Later on in the novel, Helmuth does the unthinkable and listens to the forbidden radio stations to figure out if the Nazis were telling the truth. Helmuth has concluded that the Nazis were not telling the truth. The people were being lied to!…

An author may choose to leave the ending of a book open to stimulate thought in the reader. The author will give a situation and then leave that dispute unanswered. Even though in an open ending story, each reader has their own way of how they want the story to end, you never actually find out. In “Recitatif”, “Song of Solomon”, and “God Help the Child” by Toni Morrison, she does a successful job with leaving all these stories with open endings. Morrison leaves these books with open endings because she wants the reader to paint their own picture of what happens next.…
Which side are you on? There is a constant argument every time a new movie comes out that has been based on a novel. Some people would say that you need to read the book before you watch the movie, because it makes things easier to understand. Some people say they like the mystery while watching the movie and can’t wait to see what happens next; when they don’t read the novel first. If I don’t read the book first, the movie keeps me intrigued because I don’t know what to expect in the end and in the future movies, if there are any.…

I.The people of Greece that lived during the mythology age cared about what would happen to them when they died. They believed they would go to the Underworld to live their forever when it was time for their spirits to leave earth. Even in other religions and myths, people believed in places their soul would go when they died. In modern society, those beliefs have dwindled. Not as many people go to a church, synagogue, or temple to worship.…
