       Image result for the sense of an ending

                          The Sense of an Ending is a 2011 novel written by British author Julian Barnes. The book is Barnes eleventh novel written under his own name (he has also written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dam Kavanagh) and was released on 4 August 2011 in the United Kingdom. The Sense of an Ending is narrated by a retired man named Tony Webster, who recalls how he and his clique met Adrian Finn at school and vowed to remain friends for life. when the past catches up with Tony, he reflects on the paths he and his friends have taken. in October 2011, The Sense of an Ending was awarded the man booker prize. the following month it was nominated in the novels category at the Costa book Awards.

Q-1) What is the meaning of phrase "Blood Money" in Veronica's reply email ?

Ans :- The meaning of phrase is that someone's blood involve in that money and parhaps that blood was Adrian's blood. Because Adrian has relationship with Veronica's mother Sarah and that's why Adrian committed suicide so, blood of Adrian was involved in that money that's why Veronica called it "Blood Money".

Q 2) How do you decipher the equation: b = s - v x/ + a1 or a2 + v + a1 x s = b ?

Ans :- b = s - v x/ + a1 
b = baby
s = sarah ford
v = veronica
a1 = adrian

                    Here "b" stand for baby is the result of Sarah ford and Adrians relationship. Adrian and veronica's breakup. after veronica breakup  Adrian and sarah ford relation. Sarah and Adrian became one baby is the result of their relationship. this doesn't involved Tony and seems to imply little more than Sarah and Adrin together in Veronica's absence.

a2 + v + a1 x s = b ?

a2 = Antony Webster
v = Veronica
a1 = Adrian
s = Sarah Ford
b = Baby

                     Adrian relation with Sarah ford. Antony Webster, Veronica and Adrian are friends. the Adrian and Sarah ford came as a baby.

Q-3) How was Veronica related to Adrian, the one suffering in care-in-the community ?

Ans :- Adrian and Sarah ford children name is a Adrian. Adrian is a mental disease. veronica child Adrian suffering from mental disease. veronica as a mother suffering in care in the community, but letter on as time passes he come know that veronica and Adrian are brother and sister. she carries her brother Adrian. so, she became step sister of Adrian.

Q-4) Do you any possible reason in the suicide of Adrian Finn ?

Ans :- Adrian was suicide because his philosophical sense. he is suicide because of the suffering from trauma. he is affair with her girlfriend mother and he had burden of there baby and he is also fear from society. so society not except their relationship and he can not marry. he is committed suicide.

Q-5) In the light of new revelations, how do you read character of Veronica ? Instinctive, manipulative, calculating, stubborn, haughty, sacrificial, trustworthy, good samaritan ?

Ans :- We find two veronica in the novel. In the light of new revelation we see Veronica as sacrificial woman because she is sacrificial herself and also suffer a lot. the Tony created through his memory is not appropriate for the veronica. Tony is a narrated in novel. but when as a reader we directly come in contact with her she is more carring, trustworthy, good samaritan, who is taking lot of care of young Adrian.

Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse" of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non- European to win the Nobel prize in literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. he is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".
