Comparing Sheppard's And Johnson

392 Words1 Page

While I want to say that I am completely in shock from the ending of this story, I cannot. Looking back at what I read and what really stuck with me, I remember when Norton was wrapping himself in rope and that the ceilings of the attic was open, showing the beams. Not only that, but after reading about the way Norton was being treated once Johnson came into their life, I can understand Norton’s feeling of loneliness. I just wanted to address that really quickly. One thing that stuck out to me was Sheppard’s and Johnson’s religious views. Christians are called to love one another and help one another. I thought it was weird because Johnson claimed that he was a Christian, but his actions did not match up with the beliefs of Christianity.

    ...story, this made me think that finally the serial killer is caught but that turned out to be nothing, still having the suspense of when the real serial killer will come in hand. But against my every envisagement, the serial killer came by himself to Duncan to get his lost diary back in the lost and found department. This made the chills run through me as he came at the time I didn't expected. This brought the sudden climax in the story making me even more anxious that even though Duncan has found the serial killer, how will he ever stop this killing machine. And finally at the end when the serial killer was chasing Duncan down on the subway tracks, they both get hit by the train creating more anxiety in my mind that how will Duncan ever survive this kind of blow. But in the ending he survives and the serial killer dies, thus creating a happy mental picture in the end.

    I did not like the ending of the story. I found that the ending was very predictable and anticlimactic, especially when all the tension was being built up throughout the rest of the book. When I was nearing the end of the book I was already starting to envision the ending of the book and when I got to the end I was disappointed to see that I was correct. I would have preferred if the ending was more of a cliff-hanger and ended completely different than anyone would have expected.

    Carver tells the story mainly through what happens in the story, rather than through the narrator’s perspective or the characters’ emotion and personalities. He connects all the events in the story in a logical way by using the elements rising action and climax. Therefore, he drew the reader 's’ attention and raise their curiosity toward what would happen next in the story. At the end, Carver finishes the story with an open ending which is a great way to end the story when the characters are not fully described in both emotion and personality. Therefore, the readers couldn’t predict what the characters would do to solve the conflict. By ending the story with an open ending, Carver allows the readers to create their own ending and satisfy with their own

    Much later I would find out that I was just enabling Adrian. I would find that Adrian's biggest problem was his drug addiction. Judging by the the fresh needle marks on his arm, it was quite obvious that Adrian was shooting up some type of narcotic on a regular basis. He had been offered help before and refused to straighten his life out. Instead, he chose a life on the streets with no direction. A life with little to look forward to and little to lose. It was disheartening to see such human potential go to waste. It seemed that Adrian had gone past that point where we choose life over death. He made the choice to give up life long ago.

Although the woodcutter seems to redeem himself of the perfidy of (possibly) stealing the dagger by adopting a baby left under the gate, the movie is never resolved. While faith is restored that men can also be good (a central question throughout the film) we are never any the wiser as to what was real. That is the whole point of the movie; we are never shown what is real because we will never know.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Tripp

    Lastly, the ending was nearly flawless. In my opinion every character that played a very evil role that’s seeking for revenge or greed got their consequence by death or jail time except for little Tripp. Nobody really had proof that Tripp was involved in any necessary way and considering he currently had the best lawyer in New York and the media currently on his side there was no point for our protagonists to fight against that. Considerably the only change I would make is to have Tripp have some sort of reliable and understandable payment for his very rebellious actions toward his father but also to injure and kill multiple people.
