Yes. In some novels, a redemptive ending can be a great element. For example, in 'Les Misérables', Jean Valjean, after a life full of struggle and crime, finally finds redemption through his good deeds and self - sacrifice. Also, an ending that gives a sense of hope can be really good. In 'The Giver', Jonas embarks on a journey towards a new and uncertain future, but there is a glimmer of hope that things will be better, which makes the ending engaging and thought - provoking.
Definitely. A good ending can have an unexpected twist that still makes sense. In 'The Sixth Sense', the big reveal at the end completely changes the way you view the whole story, but it ties up all the loose ends. And sometimes, a simple but poignant ending is great. In 'Of Mice and Men', George's difficult decision to shoot Lennie is a very powerful ending that reflects the harsh reality of their situation and the themes of friendship and loneliness in the novel.
Sure. One element is a well - rounded conclusion for the main characters. Like in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their initial misunderstandings and prejudices, and they get married, which is a very satisfying resolution for their relationship. Another example is the ending of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. The story comes to a close with Scout having learned important lessons about racism and humanity, showing her growth as a character.
In 'The Lord of the Rings', when Frodo and Sam return home after destroying the One Ring. The Shire is saved, and their friends are there to welcome them. It's a great ending because it shows the rewards of their great sacrifice and the restoration of their homeland.
Consider 'Beauty and the Beast'. Belle's love breaks the curse on the Beast, and they transform into their human forms and live happily ever after. In 'Aladdin', Aladdin gets the princess Jasmine and also the genie is set free. It's a happy ending as all the good characters get what they want. And in 'Finding Nemo', Marlin finds his son Nemo and they return home safely, with Dory also becoming part of their family.
Sure. For example, in a story about a clumsy thief. He finally managed to break into a big mansion. After searching everywhere for valuables, he found a note saying 'Ha! The real treasure is the friendship you could have made instead of stealing.' And then the police arrived because the owner had set up a trap just for fun.
Sure. One example is 'The Gift of the Magi'. The wife cuts and sells her long hair to buy a chain for her husband's watch, while the husband sells his watch to buy combs for his wife's hair. Another is 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge'. It seems the man escapes the hanging, but in the end, it turns out it was all a hallucination in his final moments before death.
Examples of elements of a good scary story include a desolate location. Think of a deserted island or a long - forgotten cemetery. A sudden and unexpected change in the environment, like the walls of a room starting to ooze blood. Also, a character who is being followed by an unseen entity, which creates a lot of tension.
Sure. 'Cinderella' is a classic. Cinderella, a kind - hearted girl, endures mistreatment from her stepmother and stepsisters. But with the help of her fairy godmother, she meets the prince at the ball. After some trials, like losing her glass slipper, they are reunited and live happily ever after.
History. It refers to past events, especially in human affairs.
One such story could be about a lost key. At the start, a girl is frantically searching for her key under the couch. She then goes on a wild goose chase looking for it everywhere in the house, has some comical misadventures with her family thinking they took it. In the end, she realizes it was under the couch all along, and the description of her searching under the couch at the end is a repeat of the beginning.
Well, religious stories can be considered never ending stories. For instance, the stories in the Bible or the Quran have been studied, preached, and reinterpreted for ages. Different scholars and religious leaders offer new insights and explanations all the time. Also, folk tales from different cultures around the world are never ending. Take the Arabian Nights as an example. It has a collection of stories within stories, and new translations and adaptations keep coming out, ensuring its continuation.
There could also be an alternate ending where the Titans are revealed to be part of a much larger, more complex experiment by an ancient civilization. The characters in AOT then have to work with the outside world to not only stop the Titans but also to deal with the implications of this discovery. This ending usually involves a lot of world - building and exploration of the lore behind the Titans, and it can be quite interesting as it gives a whole new perspective on the story.
