A homework dated 09/11/2009 (English)

Based on one novel you have read, write about whether you would change the ending of the novel. Support your answer with evidence from the novel.

Based on the novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, I think they should change the ending for this novel. This is because Erik died in a very sad way. He has never experienced love until Christine kissed him willingly. Not only that, he died a broken heart as Christine was no longer with him and there was no one to watch him die thus mourn for him. On the other hand, Raoul get to have a happy ending as Erik released Christine to go with Raoul. I think the author of this novel should let Christine go with Raoul and let Erik survive. Then the story should go on like Erik starting a new life which means he has turned over a new leaf. Therefore, people should not judge his appearance though he is retarded. This way, Erik's point of view about the society would change dramatically. He should also find another person that truly suits and loves him. The Persian would accompany Erik as some community would still reject him causing Erik to be the person he once used to be. With this as an ending, it would be much better. No one has to die and we can all have a happy ending like how it used to be in movies.

P.S. = If you people that have read it n thinks that there's something wrong, please just comment about it!!!!!
