NIkki Jackson Comments 5.6

5. As many have said, it is a nice way to conclude the book with an open ending. This does in fact allow the reader to create their own futures for the characters. It wasn’t quite a cliffhanger, but definitely left room for imaginative thinking. We are able to dream up new ideas and analyze the events in the novel. This can also help us to better understand the setting, plot, and characters.
6. I disagree with Rebecca, though. I thought that the ending was very well written in relation to the rest of the story. The beginning of the story did have a lot of substance, but so did the last couple pages. Sue Monk Kidd summed up the plot, and made it full of meaning.
