Changing The Ending Prompt and Quotation Punctuation Review

You are a researcher in the year 2196. You discover some pages of an ancient

textbook containing a short story called "The Cold Equations." However, the final

pages are missing. The last bit of text you can read is Marilyn's "I'm ready" on page twenty-seven. Write a plausible resolution for the story that is different from the present ending. Suppose you are an optimistic researcher. Is it possible to find happy ending?

Take into consideration the following criteria for this writing

assignment. You found the pages of the short story in the year 2196, a futuristic

world scenario that is much different than today's society. Your ending must be

believable but you are encouraged to be creative in how you fashion the new

resolution. Your finished piece should naturally have the "feeling" of the conclusion of a story and remember that if you write dialogue that quotation marks and proper punctuation should be used as well as paragraphing for each new speaker. Have fun with this assignment and make your new ending as interesting as possible.

©Holt Rinehart Winston Elements of Literature 4^th Course textbook

Example Dialog:

Rules: 

1. New Paragraph when a new speaker. 
2. Comma goes before the quote.
3. Final quotation mark goes after the punctuation mark. 

“The Cold Equations” sample dialogue formatting sample:

Barton said, “I do not want to eject you but I will if I have to.”

“But why must you,” Marilyn exclaimed.

“Because it is the rule.”

The EDS moved swiftly along in space with the two on board and Marilyn did not realize that her additional weight would be treacherous for the crew since the vessel was only programmed with the exact fuel.

Thanks to Mr. Carmicle!
