The ending would've been more disappointing if Will did end up killing Riggs or any of the other ending we expected to have.

After seeing the "illusions" of his dad any everyone else in the elevator, he probably is rethinking everything thus far. But there is also the beginning of the book. When Will is narrating, it sounds like he is dead so maybe he did end up killing Riggs and the cycle continued. ]]> 2021-03-02 18:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260132794 15280881 https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260133954 I know that Reynolds chose to end his novel with a cliffhanger because he wanted us to make the ending. He wanted us to imagine what could happen with the words "you coming?". I think that this ambiguous ending really did have a larger impact. In fact, I think I like the book more because of it because it really made me think of what could happen if I was the writer of this book.]]> 2021-03-02 18:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260133954 1536816 https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260138858 Shawn asked Will if he was coming. I think it means two different things. He is asking him if he is going to get revenge, but I also think if he gets revenge, he will be "coming" with everyone else, and he will be dead. I don't think Will is going to go with them, because he was nervous and was questioning his decision after seeing Shawn.]]> 2021-03-02 18:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260138858 1540217 https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260146963 To leave the readers thinking and using their imaginations.

Like, our class has been reading this book for the past 2 months I think only to be met with a cliffhanger. I think the writer just wants to leave the ending to the imagination of their readers. In that way, the reader can have an ending that will make them happy, or just compare 2 major endings that can happen. Like in this book we have Will continuing the cycle or ending it. ]]> 2021-03-02 18:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260151139 15428341 https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260158082 2021-03-02 18:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/slkeisler1/87ux1sftnvc7e9ue/wish/1260158082
