Author's Choices

The author of "The Lady or the Tiger" chose to end his story at the climax. There is no falling action or resolution and the reader is left wondering what happens. Why do you think the author chose to do this? What did he hope to accomplish by doing this? Do you think it works? Why or why not?

So the author did achieve his goal on wanting the reader to go further and just not close the book and forget about it.
