In Response...-By Christopher Warren

I truly enjoyed Margaret Atwood’s poem “Happy Endings” as it gave good consequence to the true realities of life. I would like to commemorate her excellently forged lines by explicitly responding to her work. I found that her format alone was enough to truly bring her imagined images into the reader’s mind. It was creative of her to always relate back to letter A. Letter A was the perceived “Happy Ending” that is commonly associated where two people spend the rest of their lives in peace and retirement. However in the below fragmented stanzas of her peace she satirically criticized the reality of life and endings. She interestingly enough seems to have conclusively proven the fact that despite whom you are that bad things can happen in alternate realities. That of course would be the obvious interpretation of her work, yet if one truly criticizes her lines and reads there coded message carefully then one can discover the critical similarity of a united death. In other words, she is humbly pointing out in a discreet manner the interesting realization that in a happy ending someone has to win and someone has to lose. Furthermore the realization is that no matter what one does in one’s life that the ultimate defeat is that everyone dies. Quite simply.
