Unit 2 Say Yes Write a new ending for the story.

By 胡宜雯 老师 04-02 1112次浏览

After learning the article, we know that the wife is like a stranger to the husband and the story ends abruptly with a sense of hopelessness and sadness. Is this an ideal ending for a story? What is your version of the ending? Will it be a HE or BE? Please write a new ending for the article.

    It's not an ideal ending to a story, but it's very true to reality, so it's hard for me to say if it's a be or he ending.

    The husband can never understand why his wife asks such a ridiculous question and is really angry about it, so when he finds that nothing he can do to make her angry, he gradually forgets what she is angry about,Because in his opinion the questions asked by his wife are unnecessary, he will gradually forget these things, if his wife is still not good to him, he will turn to blame his wife, feel that she is unreasonable.This is the reality of most couples.And everyone will become numb in this accustomed relationship.

    I don't think it is an ideal ending. In my version it will be HE.

    "Ann? Ann? Are you in the room?" He called out her name several times, but got no response. He got out of bed and opened the door to find that she was not in the living room. He was about to open the door and enter, when he heard her sorbbing. Thinking that he had hurt his wife's heart with his own words, he released hia hand from the doorknob, and knocked on the door of the study, saying, "Ann, I know I have disappointed you with what I have said today. I hope you will forgive me and remember to go to bed early." She did not respond to him, and he browed his head in frustration. After a while, he heard the light turn off in the study and turned back to the bedroom.

    Ann lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, recalling that their love for so many years was not as strong as they thought, and now because of different views on racial issues,there are cracks, and they are like strangers, and they do not fully understand each other. That night, they couldn't sleep for a long time.

    The next morning he woke up to find Ann cooking in the kitchen. She was so engrossed in making sandwiches that she didn't realize he was there."I will cook."He expected Ann to respond, but didn't, "May I wash the dishes or is there anything I can do to help?" , he spoke again. "No, we'll just do our own things.", she said coldly. Then she carried her plate around him to the table for breakfast. He took a glass of water and sat across from her."Ann, I wish we could talk calmly.", he looked at her and said sincerely. She nodded and said "Well.".

    After breakfast, they sat so quietly."Ann, it was I who made you sad yesterday. I admit that I do view negroes through a lens, and I shouldn't hesitate to tell you that black or not, I will marry you. I'm sorry, Ann. I hope you will give me a chance to make up for it. I don't want to lose you.". At this moment, her face had a bit loose, surprised to look at him, slowly began to say, "Well, I forgive you. In fact, I also appreciate your tolerance, but I still hope you can accept black people.".

    After the quarrel on the racial issue, they learned to actively communicate on differences, they cherished their love and trust more, and resolved to work and maintain this marriage together.

    The couple will eventually realise each other's problems and make up. The following is my continuation:

    Because of the debate on this issue, the relationship between husband and wife is a little cold during this period. After about a week, the husband finally realised that there was something wrong with his answer and made his wife angry and disappointed, so he explained the situation of the problem to his wife.

    The husband said to his wife with some guilt,

    "I'm sorry, wife. I'm sincere in my feelings for you. I won't marry you just because you are a black man. I'm sorry for my previous behaviour and let you down."

    After a period of self-reflection, the wife also realised that there was something wrong with her behaviour and words. After hearing her husband's apologetic answer, the wife hurriedly said, "It's not just your fault, I also have shortcomings in this issue." Seeing her husband's doubtful face, she seemed to not understand her answer. She continued, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a meaningless question. Are you willing to marry me? Do you have any racial discrimination against black people? This is a different thing. I shouldn't confuse the two. I can't say that if I'm a black, you don't want to. If you want to marry me, you are racist. If it were me, I would not necessarily promise to marry you.

    Since then, the relationship between the two has been restored as before, which tells us that it is very important to reflect on each other

      It was the sound of a stranger moving in the room, which had awakened him in the night. His heart thumped, as it had on their first night together, as if he had been awakened at night by a noise and waited for it to come back again - a noise like the sound of a stranger moving around the room.

      The two people feel like they are unfamiliar with each other because of the conflict caused by a quarrel. The familiar people have a new understanding. At the same time, the husband in the article is also conflicted. In the compromise of his wife, he is confused about this new relationship. There's a tendency for people to have some kind of resistance to new knowledge, self-contradictory.

    I think the ending of this story should be a he. They have been married for over thirty years and have had a fairly long relationship. Every time my husband thinks about this, he feels more and more sorry for his behavior towards his wife just now. When his wife came out of the bathroom and lay in bed, the husband whispered to her, "I'm sorry, Ann. It was just me who wasn't good. Actually, I also wanted to tell you my thoughts." The wife said to him, "But you didn't answer my question, you hesitated." The husband replied, "Yes, but no matter what my thoughts are, my love for you over the past thirty years will not change, and it won't change in the future. That's what I want to say to you." The wife also realized some of the things she did not do well, and she said, "I've always known that you're not a racist. I just wanted to ask you if you love me through this question.Now, I have the answer I want." Then the two turned around and embraced each other, slowly falling asleep.

    I think the story will have a happy ending in the end. 
    Although the couple slept in the same bed, they did not fall asleep, and both of them thought with their backs to their backs all night. 
    The next morning, the wife seemed to make up her mind, telling her husband that women would be more sensitive, more observant, or more serious about moral principles. So yesterday she was very serious about that question and desperately wanted an answer. She had thought long and hard last night, and felt that she was making a big deal out of it. 
    The husband smiled and said to her, I was not very good to you yesterday, I should not argue with you. The most important thing is that I don't want this issue to cause damage to our marriage. When the couple heard each other's words, they smiled at each other, knowing that the topic was over and they would live together again as before. 
    A husband and wife can be married for years without really knowing each other's innermost thoughts, and even though the wife asks the question of whether a black man can be with a white man, both husband and wife are white, and in a few decades they will both be dead, so what's the point of fighting now?

    I think it's an ideal ending. A person's thought seems difficult to change, but the husband made concessions and compromises to his wife, their quarrel also belongs to the normal run-in of husband and wife contradiction, because the mood of the moment to judge the feelings of two people is too absolute.

    The husband didn't wait any longer. He waited for his wife to come out and walked straight to her. "We need to talk again." His tone was firm, and his wife was surprised. "What else is there to talk about? I think I know what you think." She turned her head away, not wanting to continue the subject. "I think it's true that two people can't get together without their identities and backgrounds, but do we just fall in love based on similar skin colors?" I think it has nothing to do with this, you are too entangled in this problem, will only let yourself into pain and confusion, sometimes we change the perspective of the world, maybe it will be different. Remember when we were happy because you weren't black?" The wife paused, her expression no longer so tense. The husband hugged his wife, "Would you like to take a walk by the river tomorrow?" He asked softly, "OK." The wife responded gently.
