Response to Margret Atwood's "Happy Endings"

I really enjoyed reading Atwood’s “Happy Endings” because it is a different style of writing that I would normally read. When someone reads a story, they will always have their own way they want the story to end, but it won’t always end the way you want it. In this story think it’s cool that Atwood has more then 1 ending for the reader depending on what they like. I think that Atwood is saying that authors are too plot-driven and they should instead focus more on the roles and characteristics of their characters. In Atwood's story she has 2 typical types of characters. One is in love with the other, and the other one is not in love with character 1, but instead uses character 1 to their needs.
