#THIS 'LADY OR THE TIGER' STUFF WORKS IN VERY NARROW CIRCUMSTANCES
Text
I would like to publicly debate Mr. Andrew Peterson about his stance on endings please and thank you.
#there's nuance about endings#there are varying perspectives one could take about his own series#my beef's not so much with his story but his statement on stories in general#and my response boils down to#GIVING A STORY AN ENDING DOES NOT KILL IT!!#IT CREATES IT!!#THERE ARE WAYS TO LEAVE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS TO SPARK THE IMAGINATION#OR HINT AT FUTURE ADVENTURES#THAT DO NOT LEAVE THE CENTRAL ARC OF THE STORY UNRESOLVED#STORIES ARE STORIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE ENDINGS#WE CAN SEE THE WHOLE ARC AND THEN MAKE SENSE OF IT#THIS 'LADY OR THE TIGER' STUFF WORKS IN VERY NARROW CIRCUMSTANCES#THAT MAKE IT INTO A PHILOSOPHICAL EXERCISE RATHER THAN A STORY#QUESTIONS ARE FUN BUT THEY ARE NOT A STORY#A STORY IS A SEARCH FOR TRUTH AND THUS FOR ANSWERS#WITHOUT ANSWERS THERE IS NO STORY JUST STUFF#YOU'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH YOUR OWN ANSWER IN YOUR HEAD ANYWAY TO MAKE IT FEEL COMPLETE SO WHAT'S THE POINT??
