Finding Closure

Create an alternate ending to any famous piece fiction.

By inventing an alternative finale, this writing prompt forces you to not only explore different ways a story could conclude but also to understand the plot progression, the character arcs, and the message of the original ending. It prompts you to ask yourself why the original ending was fitting or unfitting, what ingredients are essential for a satisfying conclusion, and how alternate outcomes could reframe the entire meaning of the story.
