“The manner in which texts conclude and the impact such conclusions have on a reader often help construct the GVVP of those texts.” by Aoise Kennedy, Jack O Callaghan & Karl English.

With reference to three texts in your comparative course, compare how the conclusion of each text, and its impact on you, helped to construct the general vision and viewpoint of these texts. Support your answer with reference to the texts.

I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement that the manner in which texts conclude impact the reader and often help construct the general vision and viewpoint (GVVP) of those texts. During my course I have studied ‘The Plough and the Stars’ by Séan O Casey (TPATS), ‘The King’s Speech’ directed by Tom Hooper (TKS), and ‘Foster’ by Claire Keegan. During my study I found that the conclusion of the text firmly dictated my overall GVVP of the text.
