Conclusion

The last novel I read was Jane Eyre. The conclusion was half/half. It was good because logical and it was worthwhile. It was bad because it leaves you with way to many questions that should have been answered. I also thought it was a random ending and ineffective. I think the writer just wanted to finish the book because I thought the ending SUCKED.

Effective conclusions

The last book I read was "Class A". This book had a effective conclusion. Cause he killed some one and in this campus he belonged to called cherub. You were not a loud to kill people.

zenen's ineffective conclusion

The last book i read was called mad dogs, i thought that this lead was ineffective because that it answered too many of the questions and was too specific witch gave me no room for imagination.

Dani's Efective Conclusion

The last novel I read was "Jatta" by Jenny Hale. The conclusion was an effective one because it was interesting and made sense. By that I mean, it did not just suddenly drop off and the book ended; it was following a path towards the end throughout the chapters. At the end of the book I wanted to know if there was another book by the author or in the series. Another thing that the conclusion had was growth of the character in her emotions, her ability, and herself. These and other aspects are what makes a good conclusion to me.

Last book I read

My book was: Dragon ball Z (comic). even though I still know what happens at the end the book still left me in suspense.

It also left me wanting more and worthwhile and as it went along it made sense.

And it left me with question's like

"Is he ever going to return" or "When will that happen." It was a really good book just to tell you

Eleane's Effective/Ineffective Conclusion.

The last book that I read, "The Series of Unfortunate Events #13" had an effective conclusion because it left a suspense that needed to be there. The conclusion also left a good moral.

Yaakov's Effective Conclusions

The last book I read was "Point Blanc". This book had a good conclusion because even though the last sentence was suckish, the few paragraphs were full of intense excitement.

Effective Conclusion

The last book I read was "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick. The conclusion was effective because it was really touching and you could really feel Max's pain. It also shows growth in the characters, for example Max used to think he had no brain, now he's a lot more confident in himself and believes he can go on without Freak. At the end of the book, Max says he will write a book of all the adventures of Freak the Mighty, and that is the book that the reader just read. He also says "Now that I wrote a book, maybe I will read a few."I think that shows a lot of growth in the character and also, it shows that he learnt how to speak up and really try. It was a really good time to end the book, and it really lead me to the exit.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusion

The last book I read was Eclipse. The conclusion was effective because it left you hanging but not really it was gliding you to the exit softly and sweetly. But you still have questions like “How will Charlie and Renee act when Bella tells them?” or “What’s going to happen to Bella and Jacob relationship?” the conclusion was really good and glided you to the next book well.

Effective/ Ineffective Conclusions

The last novel I read was Brisingr. I thought that the conclusion was very effective because it ties all the events of the whole series together very nicely. I really like it when authors leave you hanging and thinking What's going to happen next? and then everything is explained in the next book. I know from talking with friends, that many people DO NOT like it when the author leaves you hanging, because they just want to figure out [for example] "Who killed that man?" and they just want to find out in that book. It was also a good conclusion because it really gave the characters perspective of the situation (which I like).

Wanting Mor Gabi

I read this book a while ago but I still remember it because I loved the way I was written and the way it ended intrigued me even more. It is unfortunate that there is no sequel because if there was i would definitely read it.

Conclusion

The last book that I read had an effective conclusion. The name of the book was "Miss Popularity" by Francesco Sedita. The girl in the book was popular at her old school and when she went to her new one it was hard for her to make friends. She did this by organizing a huge fashion show to raise money for a charity. She hoped it would also help her make friends.

I thought the conclusion was effective because it made sense. It was interesting and tied it all together with a happy ending. It also showed growth when the people who were mean to her were very nice at the end.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusions By Noga

The last book I read was "The actual total truth, by Karen Rivers" it was a good conclution because everything in the book just went into the past.Then theres a new begining. Also a good conclution is when thers a big question that makes the reader want to read more. For example: "I tried my best right?" or "Will he survive?".

I THINK THATS A GOOD CONCLUSION!

Effective/Ineffective Conclusions By Josha

The last novel I read was Starclimber. The conclusion was very effective because it left me with some questions but I felt they were better left unanswered. I felt like it had been a very fulfilling book when I finished it.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusions

The last novel I read was "The King in the Window-by Adam Gopnik" the conclusion was effective because after such an extraordinary story the conclusion tied everything well together. The story was so intriguing and captivating that you wished it would end clearly, answering some the questions that you must have asked yourself while reading and explain the slightly confusing parts. But of course it doesn't give away too much, or else your imagination couldn't possibly take over.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusion by Leor

The last novel I read was We All Fall Down. The conclusion was effective because it leaves you with questions that you feel are better unanswered like "what will happen to Will?" and "What happens to the firemen?". I also felt like it was worthwhile reading it and it made sense. It was also very interesting and ties everything together so it can lead the reader to the exit, when Will finds his dad and Ting and then goes to the hospital to take care of his wounds. It gave just enough away so that it will leave the reader wanting more because when Will finds his father and they leave the building together with Ting and go to the hospital you want to know what will happen to the fireman and policeman who have just entered the building.

Liam's effective conclusions

The last novel I read was Found. The conclusion was effective because it left me personally wanting more, and when I finished the book it made me think.

The novel was thoughtful, and at the end it left me hanging with a mystery (in a good way).

It gave just enough information away so you could read the second book in the series without knowing so much information. I can't wait to start the next book!

Thought's on an Effective Conclusion

The last novel I read was The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan.
The conclusion was kind of effective and kind of ineffective. The reason it was ineffective was because it left me with the feeling of “But it’s not finished, what’s going to happen next?” The reason it was effective was because even though I felt that way, I still felt like there wasn’t really anything else the author could have written. It left me with an unfinished feeling that didn’t need finishing!
