Margaret Atwood's short story Happy Endings, is a controversial way of looking at what makes people happy. In the story you were to read different parts, and each one had a different ending. But each ending had a twist. The first ending was the ideal way for everything to turn out. But the others were not, they simply showed different events that may go on in other peoples life. The most common of them being cheating. But what this story truly shows us, is the fact that everyday someone goes through these same things, wheather its cheating, divorce, lies and even just arguments. It shows us the truth, because many people will simply do whatever it takes to get what they want, and in the story that is what happened, no matter whose back it was behind. I think this story shows us that no one can be trusted 100 percent, and no matter who they are, something along the lines of this story will happen to everyone. What happens may not be as severe as some of these endings, but it will surely happen eventually.
