Surprising endings. write an argumentative essay

Usually "normal" stories are not very interesting as "surprising" stories and it may be because of the clues the writer gives to the reader. When you are just about to get to the end of the story and you think you know what is going to happen, you are not motivated to finish it. The ending should reveal a critical aspect of the story that was kept secret throughout it, so in a good story the reader should not be able to predict how the story will finish.

Being unable to predict the end of the story makes us to feel more eager to go on reading. But if you have too many clues, then you think you know what is going to happen and you do not feel motivating to go on reading. For example, in the story A Glowing Future by Ruth Rendell the author provided the reader with many details related to a tea chest, helping him to find out what is going to happen with that box.

Moreover, in stories, writers usually give a clear description of characters' feelings and emotions. Throughout A glowing future, Ruth Rendell made explicit the feelings that Betsy, one of the main characters, had. She showed Betsy's fury, anger and indignation, emotional states that are clearly related to what was going to happen: murder.

To summarize, a good story should make you believe as if you were part of it throughout the entire book and it also should have a surprising ending that blows you away. If the author gives you too many hints, then you will be able to predict the end and you will not be motivating to go on reading.

more than clues, it is because of "arousing curiosity" of the reader. Then reader would naturally want to follow the story because he needs to know what'll happen next.

exactly :)

then you think you know what is going to happen and you do not feel motivatingmotivated to go on reading.

For example, in the story A Glowing Future by Ruth Rendell the author provided the reader with many details related to a tea chest, helping him to find out what is going to happen with that box.

Okkkkkkkkk... so had this been book a flop? You've got to say that to align the outcome of this example with your reason
