Happy Endings

The last chunk of F in"Happy Endings" is an example of metafiction because the author stops writting the story and directly addresses the reader. They discuss beginnings and endings and how not much can be said for a plot. The author makes a statement about the fiction they're writting within the fiction. The metafiction lets the author addresses the reader and it explains the point of why they wrote it and the reason for the way they wrote the story. It shortly sums up their view on how there is a need to stop focusing on the what of the plot, what happens next, but why and how it happens. How it's important to know the cause behind something, why it happened in the first place. This kind of ties into our ants project, instead of just passing people by and excepting what they are why not stop and try and find out how they got like that and why. Both the author of Happy Endings and our ants project forces us to find out whats behind everything and to engage in the real reason for things, not just to focus on whats given to us or whats on the surface.
