1. In many of the blogs, like Ian’s and Bryson’s, they mention how they do not like novels that have cliffhangers. I understand this because after a many internal and external problems that happen in a novel the reader generally wants some sort of conclusion, or the stereo-typical “happy ever after” ending. In the end of The Secret Life of Bees you can make yourself believe that Lilly has a happy ending or you can twist and make it something completely different.
2. After reading several of the blogs I can conclude that we all had generally the same idea. That is that Sue Monk Kidd left it a cliffhanger so that we can “ponder”, as a fellow student said, the ending. I felt this is the glory in all cliffhangers, that whatever mood you are able to determine your ending to the story, how ever you want it to end.
