Michael Standard: Post Three

The book "The Secret Life of Bees" ends very quickly, and gives much of the ending up for interpretation, almost to the point of absurdity. There are several reasons I can think of for this to be the case. The first is that she might have wanted to continue the story, as many writers do. The second is that she could have had no idea how to end it, but her incentive for ending it this way also has many possibilities. She could have wanted to create hype for a second book, or she could actually want to prove a point.
