How did Jo want the Roger Shunk story to end? Why?

 

Answer:

Derry sneaked into Mr. Lamb?s garden and it became a turning point in his life. Before that Derry used to live an isolated life. He did not like meeting people or socializing. He reason was his burnt face, seeing which people often get terrified. He began leading a secluded life.              Meeting Mr. Lamb brought a change in his life. His attitude towards life was completely changed. Mr. Lamb gave him confidence and supported him morally as he was physically unpaired like him. He had a tin leg because the original one was blown off in the war. He told Derry that he was not affected by people?s sarcastic remarks. He motivated Derry to face the challenges of life and not to lament over his burnt face. According to him, he was lucky to have two arms, two legs, ears, eyes and tongue. He could do far better than others. All these preaching?s left an impression on Derry and now he started looking at things and the world differently. He began to help Mr. Lamb with crab apples and developed a positive attitude towards life.`

Jack used to tell his little daughter Jo, bedtime stories. As soon as she grew older, she began to ask questions from her father. Once her father told her a story of a little animal called Skunk who smelled awfully bad. He therefore met with a wizard who solved his problem with a magic wand and made him smell like roses. But the Skunks mother did not like it and took him back to the wizard to smell bad once again.             This ending was not acceptable to Jo as she wanted the story to have another ending where the wizard would hit the mommy with his magic wand and chop off her arms forcibly. Jo thought that Roger was the hero of the story so he must not look ugly or stinky. Jo?s perspective on life was different from her father?s. She wanted to change the end of the story to assert her views on her father. She had her own ideals and views which she wanted, to pursued.
