Read "The Necklace" or listen to the audio
What if?
How would this story have turned out if Mathilde had just been honest with her friend about having lost the necklace? Maybe she should have just gone to the social event without a necklace. What is it that she could have done differently to change what happened in the end?
Assignment 007: Rewrite the ending for this story by changing something that happens in the story. Keep the same narrator voice as the author did in "The Necklace" as you write an alternative ending in third person omniscient. This assignment needs to be, at least, 10 complete sentences or more in length with correct capitalization, punctuation and spelling.
- start your writing with the character(s) making a choice to do something different
- use third person omniscient voice in the writing (don't use "I," ,"me", "you," or "we," etc.)
- continue the story as if it were just a continuation (no need to explain the story to this point unless it is to refer to something that's part of the alternate ending)
- make the theme clear (since the ending is different, the theme--message of story--will be different)
- revise and edit for content and mechanics
- write in complete sentences
- no spelling, capitalization or punctuation errors
