How did the book make you feel in the end?

Post by Stephen Pokoo »

As we consider our feelings about the conclusion of the book, I'd like to start by sharing an example. The moment when the suspense finally lifted at the end was a significant relief. It left me with a sense of satisfaction. Now, I'm curious to hear how this ending and other aspects of the book left you all feeling.

I felt a sense of relief at the end of the book. The plot was intense and the drama kept building. But in the end, it ended on a good note for me. It was a lengthy courtroom battle. I don't know how to discuss the end without revealing the end. Haha. I will still try to discuss. The important thing in life is not money. One should value life over anything. One should have time to grieve the loss. Though caught up with the greed of money, realising what is important will surely turn your life around. Kindness is always valued.

I was very happy with the ending of the book. First, it renewed my faith in the U.S. justice system. I know this is not always the case, but I felt like this was a fair trial, and based on the evidence provided the verdict was correct. Second, it renewed my faith in humanity. It was nice to see that the jurors did not succumb to the temptation of bribery and that they followed their conscience. Again, I am not naïve enough to think that this happens all of the time, but I would hope that there are still good people in the world who stand up for what is right and wrong.

My favorite part is when Ted and Dave go to the Mock Orange Tree and lay down their wreath for Sarena. The conversation between Ben, Sam, Agnes, Ted, and Dave was shockingly enlightening and heartwarming. It's astonishing how someone you barely know enters your life and is now instilled in your heart.

Your response compels me, Angie. The justice system still has some flaws, but it was nice to read that there are still some good Samaritans that exist in this world and have not succumbed to the monetary evils of this world.

It's always suspense filled waiting for the final verdict on any trial, the author captured that feeling here in this book. I could really feel the suspense building to the verdict.

There certainly was relief at the end, although I could not help but think that some characters—I will not mention their names because of the spoilers—deserved more punishment.

The book seems to be a wonderful showcase of the author’s talent and passion for art and literature, and a celebration of the beauty and diversity of both forms of expression. The book also seems to be a reflection of the author’s personal journey and experiences, and a way of sharing her thoughts and feelings with the reader. The book might also make me feel curious, challenged, and stimulated by the author’s use of different techniques and methods of creating literary artworks, and by the messages and meanings behind them. The book might also make me feel connected, empathetic, and appreciative of the author’s perspective and voice, and of the human condition in general. The book might make me feel many different emotions, depending on how I interpret and relate to the author’s work.
