Grapes...
This your forum for discussion. Although I will toss in questions, I will expect you to be the main contributors to the blog. You are expected to post and comment at least twice (1x each) every time we are in the lab as a class. Naturally, you are required to keep comments germane to the novel and to treat your classmates' opinions with respect. Have fun.

Maybe, like saying, "There really is NO hope for these people.There never was." But it's still really dissappointing. After reading a whole book about this family, most readers would want to see some glimpse of hope for their future.
I think he wants to show that the story isn't over yet. The lives of these people will continue on within the world he has created. He wants to create the feeling that he's only showing you a piece of the story.
i think the ending still could have been more hopeful...maybe something about them looking forward to a better future, or something positive and optimistic, anything but what it was. it just ended.
Yeah, like even the sun coming out, or something.
I don't think an optomistic ending would hve fit with that book...
I think he might have ended it like that to make the reader think about the actual life these people lived, and like camen said, to show that these peoples lives are not over. kind of a "leave the rest up to imagination" thing. It still makes me angry even if it was for a good reason.
He probably did it so that we the reader can make whatever ending we wanted to. Though it did get bad, the reader can think that anything could have happened. To balance out with the detail and let the reader think what he wants for once.
