Poem 5: “Happy Ending?” by Shel Silverstein

Paraphrase

There are no happy endings but happiness starts.

Attitude

It is somehow sad since it says all endings are bad.

Shift

It is when they start to ask for happy middle since the endings are just bad.

Opinion

The poem is good but I think it is not very true. There are some endings that are very joyful.  Sometimes ending a bad thing can make you glad. The middle parts are not always happy.

Recommendation

I recommend this poem because it is nice and funny, and expresses something very interesting.
