Margaret Atwood's Happy Endings was really great. It had a very organic feel and was a refreshing thing to read because I had never read something like that. I thought it was interesting how in almost every part, the phrase "stimulating and challenging" was repeated. This phrase stood out to me because stimulating and challenging are two intriguing words. I really liked the tone of the narrator it felt very animated like it could be in SNL or something. I didn't realize that all the parts corresponded with the other parts until the end and that was a pleasant surprise. I really want to read more of Atwood's work to see if all her writing is as animated and creative as this one.
Here is my rendition of a Margaret Atwood short story:
G.
Mary and John have been happily married for 20 years and have two sets of twins! The first set are two boys Freddy and Joshua and the second set are a boy and a girl Nathan and Claudette. Wow. Mary can hardly believe that she popped so many kids out. As you can tell, she is not up to par down there so John (as most guys would) turns to cheap hookers for pleasure. Poor Mary, she is so clueless and has no idea that John has looked somewhere else for satisfaction, until one day Claudette catches her father parked on a cliff with his regular supplier bobbing between his knees. Out of horror, Claudette releases the parking break and watches as her father and the prostitute roll off the cliff and into the ocean. After years of mourning, Mary gets remarried and lives happily ever after.
