How does the Never-Ending Story end?

As the title is a bit unclear, if it's 'The NeverEnding Story', in the end, Bastian is able to save Fantasia with his new - found courage and the power of his imagination. He also learns a lot about himself in the process.

To be honest, the 'Never Ending Story' and 'Grendel' don't connect. They come from different creative minds and offer unique experiences that don't overlap in any significant way.

It can make the audience feel bittersweet. On one hand, they might be glad that there is some sort of ending to a story that seemed unending. On the other hand, they might miss the continuation that they were used to.

The story line develops through the dual - layer narrative. On one hand, we have the real - world part where Bastian is reading the book. On the other, there's the story in Fantasia. As Bastian delves deeper into the book, the story in Fantasia unfolds more. Characters like Atreyu face different challenges and overcome them, which in turn moves the story forward. Also, Bastian's own growth as a character in the real world affects the development of the story in Fantasia. For instance, his new - found confidence can give strength to the characters in the book.

I'm not entirely sure as it depends on different playthroughs and interpretations, but it could end with the protagonist achieving victory over the main antagonist.

The 'Artax' at the end of 'The NeverEnding Story' is a very poignant moment. Artax is Atreyu's horse who sinks into the Swamp of Sadness. It represents loss and the harsh reality within the fantastical world of the story. It shows that even in a magical land, there are tragic events that can't be easily undone, and it's a moment that deeply affects Atreyu and also the viewers/readers as it's a symbol of the first major sacrifice in the story.

Maybe Arturo could start by facing his problems head - on. In the story, if he has some past traumas causing the sadness, he might seek to understand and accept them.

Time in The Never Ending Story is a malleable thing. The story often jumps between different time periods within Fantasia. There are flashbacks and foreshadowing that are not bound by a strict chronological order. This is significant because it enables the story to unfold in a more engaging way. It keeps the audience on their toes as they try to piece together the different time - related elements. Also, the way time is treated in Fantasia compared to the real world creates a contrast. Bastian's perception of time in both worlds is different. In Fantasia, he is more in tune with the fluid nature of time, while in the real world, he is used to the more rigid, linear time. This contrast adds depth to his character and to the overall story as a whole.

He becomes more confident. At first, he's a bit timid in the strange world of Fantasia. But as he faces challenges like dealing with the various magical creatures and The Nothing, he grows in confidence.

It could refer to a story that started in 2024 and seems to have no end, perhaps a long - running news event or a personal journey that began that year and is still ongoing.
