An example of an open ending would be The Giver. The Giver, if anyone really cares xDthe end of this book it's impossible to tell what happens to Jonas, whether he dies, or made it to a faraway land, or as some Religious loving theme'd people claim, made it to heaven. We cannot know exactly how it ended, however we do know, truths that cannot be changed in your interpret of the ending. We know:

  1. Jonas left home
  2. Jonas lost the memories
  3. Jonas was starving at the end of the book
  4. Jonas recalls hearing singing in the distance


Your interpretation of the ending of that book can be whatever you want, but cannot change the truths you know, except maybe the last one because I'm fairly sure the book uses the term "thought he heard" and not "heard".
