Question

Why do you think both Jo and Jack want a different ending each, for Roger Skunk’s story?

Answer 1

The answer to the given question is written below.

• The question relates to the story 'Should Wizard Hit Mommy?'
• It is written by John Updike.
• We think that both Jo and Jack want a different ending each for Roger Skunk's story because as being a kid, peer recognition is important for Jo but on the other hand, for Jack, someone's own natural attributes are more important than the induced changes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Jo's father's ending of the story, in which Roger gets back his awful smell, is more realistic and practical. We should sacrifice our wishes for the love of our near and dear ones (Roger's mother here).
