Writing a Conclusion: Monster Edition

If, through the story, the characters experience a change, wrap up the story by explaining the effect of this change, and what it means for the character and the conflict.

If over the course of the story, there is a constant antagonist that is wrecking evil, one way to end off is to talk about how they get stopped, or how the other characters manage to deal with them.

The Grinch saw the townspeople gathered in a circle and singing merrily despite losing their Christmas decorations and gifts. He began to understand that the joy the townspeople celebrated was found in each other’s company. His plan for revenge didn’t work, and instead his heart started to grow. More than wanting to destroy their Christmas, he now wanted to join in!

The Grinch returned the presents and confessed, “I stole your Christmas because I thought it would fix something that happened a long time ago. I’m very sorry.” He turned to leave, but the townspeople invited him to join their celebrations. For what could be more important than winning over a long-lost town member at Christmas?

The BFG watched in horror as the man-eating giants woke up and began to hunt for Sophie. But as they chased her down, they quickly became trapped by the nets from the Queen’s helicopters. Off they were flown, to a deserted island where all there was to eat was disgusting vegetables. The BFG’s plan worked after all!

Back in the Queen’s castle, the BFG perched on his seat at the twelve-foot-high pile of tables. He grabbed the garden spade and scooped up all the eggs, sausages, and potatoes on his plate and shovelled them into his enormous mouth. Sophie ate her eggs and smiled. They were finally safe from the brutes.
