Alternate ending rough draft portfolio:
chosen story: "young goodman brown" by nathaniel hawthorne
for this unit's portfolio item, you will choose one story and write a totally different ending that remains true to the characters and conflict. it should also model the original author's style. compose a one- to two-page alternate ending to your selected short story, following mla format. begin your alternate ending with a sentence that appears on the last page of the original short story to transition from the original author's voice to your own.
can someone me? like advice, ideas, explain to me how in the world i am supposed to change a whole story's ending and still stay in the author's original style. this just doesn't make any sense. has anyone ever done something like this before?
