Bad Ending is Not Always Bad!

  I had read the Pobby and Dingan, and I had watched the movie. I think the movie try to tell us all things in the book, however the movie cannot tell us whole things. So there are some difference between the movie and book. I consider that there is a most important difference between them. It is that in the movie the ending is more like a happy ending, however in the book the ending is a little bit sad. I prefer the book because bad ending is always for a better future.

  

  Let's talke about the book first. In the book, after they hold the funeral for Pobby and Dingan, they do not get the opal back. Another thing is that they hold a funeral for Kellyanne in few weeks after Pobby and Dingan's funeral. It is like they lose so many things, like a complete family, opal, and money. Ashmol and his parents are so missing Kellyanne, however they cannot bring her back forever. So they keep Kellyanne in their dream, like what they do to the opal.

 

  In the movie, the owner of the cemetery gives the opal back to Ashmol, and there is no funeral for Kellyanne. So I consider that they get opal(money) and Kellyanne(a complete family). It is a happy ending, and I believer that most people prefer the happy ending.

  

  If I saw the movie first, I believe I would like this movie. However i saw the book first, so I prefer the book. I like book more because happy ending cannot always make people remember what is important. For example, if everything is good in thebook, the dad would never know family is more important than opal; the mom would never know family and love are much better than the life in England; Ashmol would never know family is the best place for him. I want to say that bad ending is not always make you sad, and it is always for a better future.
