metafiction in "happy endings"
The last stanza in section "F" is metafictional because it draws our attention to the reality and fiction in our lives. the reality is that there is endings and beginnings, and the part inbetween; however, it isnt always the way it is described.....stimulating and challenging, or fun and happy. this brings the idea that we create our own meaning to it. Since life is described to be a series of events, some fun some not so fun, it is just a constant cycle. Then we have the last line, "now try how and why". This brings the whole part of the metafiction and postmodern themes...because we personally customize the meaning of the story to shape our opinion.
