Thinking Activity in Sense of ending.

The sense of an ending is novel written by Juline Burns. Tony  Webster is an protagonist of Novle who is in his 60s. He is on that time off life that now he get something to know about his past life events then he is not able to do anything.  The same thing happen with him that due to some reason he has to look at his past then he realized that whatever is in his memory is not true. And the actual truth is different than his memory.  All the truth of his actual life came to him  and at the end he got shocked with some of his own doing. For that he write that ; Who has done this I am not that Tony. 

As this blog is part of my thinking Activity here I try to give answer of some of the question given by our sir.

  “You still don’t get it. You never did, and you never will. So stop even trying”. Justify with reference to the universal reality that Anthony Webster faces about seeing, perceiving and understanding events of real life in Julian Barnes’s ‘The Sense of an Ending’

This sentence 'You still don't get it. You never did you never will'  is by the Veronica. She tell this to Tony. After Tony write him a letter of Apology. And reply to that she write that " you still don't get it. You never did and you never will. So stop even trying".   She spoke this two time the frist time when they were in car and Tony didn't recognize the Adrian's son. And this second time when he fill that that boy was son of Adrien and Veronica. Then Veronica tells Tony that you are getting reality so please stop even trying to do. He want able to get things which are front of his eyes. Sometime we see that in real life also people want able to get the things which they are looking. They never understand that harm they have done.


It's a book about history and how we recall events.” Robin Leggett

When we read the Novel sense if an ending that time we see that this is a book about the once personal history. We all have our own history of life with which we leave. But when we look at that things we realized that every the we don't remember that things as it is happened in the life. When we remember the things all that things we remember according to our convince. Because if in life we have to go back to that event then we don't feel guilty. So we see this book we are that this book is about the some events happened with Tony and how he recall history. When he got the truth that time he didn't able to believe that in his life he has do e some things like this also. So by  looking this we can say that this Novel is about the history and how we recall it.


“Plot is not the main point; character and life are Barnes’ focus.” - Whispering  Gums. 


I.  In the novel charachar is import part. But it is we can not say that plot is not an important part. Because the same way character is important the plot is also important. How Tony remember his life events that also became important. Because if  in the first part he tell the whole story true and as it is happened then this chat of story and this idea of memory and how we recall that is not possible. So it is not fare to say that the character isutchore important then the plot. 

    “The point is not about the ‘ugliness of letter’ which causes ‘damage’; it is rather about what he ‘thinks’ about it and how he ‘memorizes’ it”. Explain with reference to your reading of ‘The Sense of an Ending’.

In the Novel we  see that Tony has talked about the letter he wrote to the Adrian and Veronica when he come to know about the their affeir. When in the first part when he himself discribing the the letter he say that in reply to Adrian's letter I told them I don't have any problem that of you both are looking for each other or going out. But when in second part we got the original letter we realized that whatever he said in the first part is  his memory not truth. When he got the original letter he wrote then we found that he has word very bed this to both Veronica and Adrian. Even he call bitch to Veronica. But the actual point is about the distroyed memory. We see that whatever he has written in letter he doesn't remember. And actually what he has remembered is completely opposite of it. That shows that whatever we have remembered in life is not actually we have witnessed.

 ‘It is not about what we ‘do’, it is about how we ‘remember’ what we have done?’. Illustrate with reference to the novel ‘The Sense of an Ending’.

The whole story talk's about the memory of Tony Webster. The story is not of what he has done during his youth. But actually how that things are in his memory. He has done something bed but his memory tells completely different story. It shows that when we do something wrong and we don't want to feel guilty at that time our memory distrot that thing. And set according to our convince. We treat our memory in way that we wanted to remember. And also. The same thing we can see in a case of the Tony Webster.
