Steinbeck might have ended the novel that way to give a feeling of closure and to suggest that the characters' journey has come full circle. It could also draw attention to the cyclical nature of life and events.
It could be to emphasize themes of repetition or to make a statement about the nature of human experience. Sometimes we end up where we started, but with a different perspective.
Maybe it's to create a sense of circularity and show that some things never really change.
No, it doesn't. The Bible has a complex narrative that doesn't simply end where it started.
It ends when the main conflict is resolved and all loose ends are tied up. That's just how most stories work.
It usually ends when the main conflict is resolved and the characters' arcs reach a satisfying conclusion.
I like 'The Grapes of Wrath' best. It's so powerful in depicting the struggles of the poor during the Depression. The way Steinbeck shows the journey of the Joad family, facing poverty, discrimination, and the unforgiving nature, really makes you feel for them.
Steinbeck presents loneliness through the isolation of his characters. They often struggle to connect with others and find meaning in their lives.
Well, 'The Time Traveler's Wife' could be one. It sort of circles back to the beginning in a way that ties things up neatly.
Orwell could have ended the novel that way to challenge conventional storytelling or to force the readers to question certain ideas. Maybe he wanted to spark discussions and interpretations.
This situation was usually caused by network problems. The novel was a form of online reading that required receiving information from the server through the Internet. If the network connection is unstable or there is a problem with the server, it may cause the reading progress to be interrupted or you may not be able to continue reading. In this case, he could try switching the source, which meant reconnecting to the network or changing the reading platform. You can also try to wait for the network and server to resume normal operation before trying to read it. If you encounter this problem often, you can try to check the network connection and server status to make sure they are running well. You can also use other network equipment or change the network interface to test if the same problem occurs.
He weeps because of the trauma and disillusionment. The events of the novel have stripped away his childhood naivety and left him emotionally exhausted and heartbroken.
Maybe it's to give readers a pleasant and heartwarming feeling throughout the entire story.
