(e)      Which do you think is a better ending of Roger Skunks story, Jo's or her father's? Why?

Answer:

Jo wanted the story to have another end in which the wizard should hit the mommy by his magic wand because for her the smell of roses was awful. Jo thought that Roger was the hero of the story so he must not look ugly or stinky. Jo?s perspective on life was different from her father?s.   Whereas her father thought the different way. He wanted to convey that for a mother, her son never smells bad. The adults? world is full of hardships and they had to face the reality of life.             His ending may not be very pleasing but is realistic and he wanted to highlight the fact that for a mother, her child is always an object of love. His smell makes no difference. Thus, the original ending is acceptable.
