In the graphic novel Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, there is a panel in which a storm has struck the family home (179). The surprising thing about this storm was that it moved in a weird path around the home.

Another part of the last chapter that is pretty symbolic the part when

In my opinion, the ending of the novel “Elske-by Cynthia Voigt” was quite predictable but had many surprises scattered throughout the ending of the book to keep the reader captivated all the way to the end.
