Ambiguity paragraph

The ambiguity in “Notes in a bottle” engages the reader. For instance, a man with connections to Washington DC says, “Why haven’t we been informed?” This clearly states that the people are unaware of the cause of the natural disaster. This shows that, the reader has to come up with the idea his or herself. On the last entry the main character explains the scene in front of him is “ The water is swirling around the skylights now. The wind shifts. The waves are coming straight in from the Atlantic.” This shows that, the reader is contemplating what the outcome of the story is because it causes you to come up with a ending yourself. This also shows, the ambiguity is apparent in this last paragraph because you don’t know what really went on from that point on. In conclusion, this story attracts the reader due to unknown information.
