00:00We've all heard stories that have made us laugh, cry, and everything in between.
00:03But have you ever thought about why certain story endings have such a powerful effect on us?
00:07A happy ending, like the death of a villain, can make us feel satisfied and hopeful.
00:12It's the perfect ending to a story that makes us feel good about the world.
00:15A sad ending, on the other hand, can make us feel devastated and heartbroken.
00:19It's the kind of ending that stays with us long after the story is over.
00:23But what about endings that are in between?
00:25Endings that leave us feeling angry or frustrated.
00:27These are the kinds of endings that can make us feel like giving up.
00:30So what's the secret to a powerful story ending?
00:32It's the element of surprise.
00:34When we read or watch a story, we don't want to be able to predict what's going to happen next.
00:38We want to be surprised.
00:39And a good story ending is one that takes us by surprise and leaves us thinking about it long after we've e-read or watched it.
