Anne fine sees modern gritty children's books as having abandoned the hopeful messages of fifties books. The article puts forward contrasting points of view and gives examples of stories and authors I need to research more. Authors that talk about a balance and the use of open endings to keep meanings ambiguous.
Could the use of ambiguity help authors and illustrators to demonstrate the complexities of the world we live in? To allow the reader to develop their own opinions and illustrate how the choices we make are not always clear cut in terms of good and bad. This could lead to problems of stories having no real message at all or being interpreted in negative ways that are not intended. is there a way to show that people are not perfect but that they can have good intentions that don't always work out?
