In "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol, the protagonist dies a horrible death.
In "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, the narrator proposes eating babies (well, sarcastically anyway).
In "Two Friends" by Guy de Maupassant, the two friends are killed after a fishing trip.
In Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, Morrie dies of ALS.
In my class today, the kids remarked on the dark nature of my reading choices.
"Miss M, can we EVER read something that doesn't have a sad ending? Maybe one where the main character DOESN'T die?"
:~)
