Sense of ending by Julia Barnes

Sense of ending  by Julia Barnes


 The phrase 'Blood Money' can have meanings like, relationship with Sarah caused Adrian's suicide. And her money is given to Tony. Their relationship damages young Adrian's life so it can be called Blood Money and Tony is cause of all damages so Veronica call his (given) money as 'Blood Money'.

# The equation Means b =baby or young Adrian, s = Sarah, V= Veronica, a= Adrian.
b = s – v x/+ a1 means, Young Adrian, b is a result of Sarah's relationship with Adrian (x/+) with breaking relationship with Veronica (-).

a2 + v + a1 X s = b?  a2 means Anthony ( Adrian used to address Tony as Anthony) It says relationship of Tony with Veronica, and her relationship with Adrian. And Adrian and Sarah's relationship multiplies b means gave birth to baby or young Adrian.


 # Here I try to discuss something about novel 'The Sense of an Ending ' by Julian Barnes. Here if we think about title then it is something which is ending and author talk about it. If any reader comes across this novel they know about one main character Tony who uses to think that in his old age he is quite happy and living alone. He got divorce from his wife and has one daughter who has contact with both mother and father. He is happy with solitude of his life but at the end of this novel his sense is going to end that he done good karmas and so he is happy in his old age and so this novel is about end of Tony's sense and so it is entitled as 'The Sense of Ending'. Here we can have reference of 'Hindu Karmic Philosophy', too.

# It is good description as psychological thriller, we can understand that how our memories are lie and we think that I am right but maybe it is not so. Because many time what we think that is not right and something else which we know but we can't accept it. Thus, it is good narrative.

# Possibilities are there, it may happen that he did not commit suicide and he is hiding his personality. And literature is that we can't say with hundred percent but possibility is that. So, we can interpret it many ways. Veronica related to Adrian who is suffering in care in community because Adrian is a son of Sarah and Adrian. So Adrian is a brother of Veronica and thus she related with Adrian.

All the mysteries are revealed in the novel. The reason of Adrian's suicide is not much clear and open to interpret.  It can be because of his illegitimate relationship with Sarah as the novel ends with this or it is because Adrian was existentialist, what his suicide note suggests...
Another thing which is not clear is why Veronica did not want to give him diary or inform all the things clearly to Tony. At one stage she even stops giving him clues. But it is not missing block with this indirect clues novel becomes more interesting and mysterious.
Smart, Intelligent, manipulative, trustworthy, and stubborn at some extent.

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Image
    The narrator (may be the poet himself) of the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening stops by some woods on his way one evening. The narrator knows the owner of the woods and even where he lives. He is a bit relaxed thinking that the owner of the woods lives in the village and so he won’t see the narrator stopping here. Therefore he can continue watching the natural beauty of his snow-covered woods. In the second stanza, the narrator of the poem says that his dear horse, whom he is using as his carriage, must think it strange to stop here between the woods and the frozen lake in a dark evening, as he normally stops near a farmhouse. The narrator calls his horse “ my little horse ”, as it is very dear to him or may be the horse is a little one in the literal sense, i.e., a pony. It may also suggest that the speaker is a humble and ordinary citizen and cannot afford to buy an expensive horse. He also personifies the horse by indicating that it has a thought process and a
