A load-bearing wall is a wall that supports the weight of the structure above it, including floors and roofs. These walls are essential for maintaining the building's stability and strength. Unlike non-load-bearing walls, which are primarily for dividing spaces and do not carry significant weight, load-bearing walls must be carefully designed and constructed to ensure they can handle the loads placed upon them. Removing or altering a load-bearing wall without proper support can lead to structural failure, making it crucial to identify them during renovations or construction.

An epilogue is a concluding section at the end of a book or literary work that provides closure or additional information about the story or characters. It typically follows the main narrative and offers insights into what happens after the main events of the book, resolving any remaining plot points or reflecting on the overall themes. An epilogue can also provide context about the future or final outcomes for the characters, helping to wrap up the story and give readers a sense of completion.
