happy endings margaret atwood His short story "Happy Endings" Margaret Atwood, at the same time shows his feelings not only art, creative writing, but also as an artistic act live your life to the fullest. The story, if you can not really be called "history" in the traditional sense, not just a breach of a thin wall of the writer / audience, presenting a unique structure: the project, or messed up his notebook. By asking the reader, "If you want a happy ending, try the" Atwood appears to give the choice of the player. Because this is a happy ending, it means that there are other grim endings as yet unidentified. Immediately after the happy ending is finished, there followed five finals, which seem to be quite depressing, but always end in "everything will continue as A."

Atwood why do it? In each of his screenplays, it creates two main characters, John and Mary should be boring names for the characters are so underdeveloped and formulas as to be almost comical. It will be possible to call each main characters, but the very definition of flat shapes: dull and undeveloped. Indeed, the reader informed of their personality traits not because Atwood displays them in a conflict or plot, on the contrary, she said simply. Lines like: "She sleeps with him, even if she does not love him," present the type of material nature, assume that Mary and John said scenario without involving mystery. By creating flat characters that are different scenarios, but always returns with "everything happens as in A," Atwood makes an interesting point: it's not the destination that has all the same for all trips.

In fact, when all of his characters to mock scenarios, Atwood suddenly a voice to tell the reader an important point: "Only the true end is the one presented here. John and Mary John and Mary die die die .. John and Mary" After the end of life of every person, regardless of how they have lived, or what they are experiencing, they face death. Atwood notes that people tend to think of all this, if only because it is not the most comforting thought, and you use the "happy endings" to give people the opportunity to be a bit 'to the inside. "So much for endings. Beginnings are always fun. True experts, however, is known to favor the stretch between, because it is difficult to do something." This is true for writing, how true to life. Its structure is unorthodox, caricatures and characters, and sometimes sarcastic, Atwood is able to convey one of the key concepts of life for all. Do not let your life becomes a "what, how and with what." Learn how to stretch supports the beginning and end, and then maybe you can make your own happy end.
