Book One Amazing Thing - Essay Example

Possible Ending for One Amazing Thing All the nine characters will be rescued. But their lives will never be the same again. The tragedy that happened to them and, most importantly, the life stories they have shared to one another, have been life changing. The author has perfectly merged the tragedy of the situation, being trapped in a building with no water or food supply, with the hope and excitement emanating from the unique life stories of the different characters. But the story has actually no satisfactory ending; the author leaves this part to the readers’ imagination.

Thus this essay provides one possible ending to the story. As mentioned earlier, all those people who were trapped inside the building will be rescued. They will be able to travel to India. They will carry with them all the good things that they have learned from the tragedy, especially all the good aspects of life that they have heard from the various characters’ life stories. They will carry with them one of the most important lessons they have learned from their experience: hope will never be lost especially if there is cooperation or group spirit.

They will completely learn the importance of struggle and its power to strengthen one’s character. And, it is not the commonalities that strengthen a group, but the differences. All the nine characters will successfully resolve the issues and conflicts in their lives. They will find a definite purpose for their travel to India. It will not merely be for pleasure, but for a deeper, more reflective purpose. Work CitedDivakaruni, Chitra Banerjee. One Amazing Thing. New York: Voice, 2010. Print.
