Should books always have a happy ending?
The purpose of World Book Day is to encourage people to enjoy reading and there's no doubt that a book's ending is usually a big part of that joy. Even so, there are plenty of stories that don't finish on a happy note. What do you think? Should books always have a happy ending?
Part of the reason we read in the first place is that reading makes us happy. We read to get away from troubles and worries in real life. If your reading experiences are full of sadness or other negative feelings, you may give up reading. If your experiences of reading are connected to positive feelings, you could be encouraged to carry on reading. It doesn't mean stories with happy endings cannot make you enjoy reading. They can also include surprises, which make the stories quite dramatic and exciting, even if you know everything's going to end well. Exploring love in the characters' lives is equally as satisfying.
In real life, the story doesn't stop at the"happy ending". It doesn't end. It keeps going past that happy moment to a lifetime of more moments both good and bad. Books with unhappy endings are useful because they show you the true feelings such as sadness but in a controlled way. They can help you deal with these feelings in your life. The stories explore the painful side of love and the topic of heartbreak. Reading about these kinds of things in stories can help make us feel like we' re not alone in our personal experiences. Some experts say that experiencing negative feelings can make you better at understanding how other people are feeling. This ability, known as empathy, helps you to connect with people and support them through hard times. It's the"unhappy"endings that have the greatest influence.
