Rewrite the Ending Writing Prompt
Write On! Change the End of Your Favorite Book
This week's Write On! Writing Prompt is a good one. It comes to us from Robyn who asks:
If you had to change the end of your favorite book, how would you change it?
Wow, right? Mostly, I wouldn't. I love how my faves end – Harry Potter, Twilight (for ages 12 and up), The Hunger Games (for ages 12 and up), Diary of a Wimpy Kid. But if I had to . . . (Twist my arm, Robyn!) I might change The Hunger Games series.
SPOILER ALERT!! Do not read the rest of this post unless you have finished reading Mockingjay!
I would not let Prim die. I wouldn’t turn Gale into such a villain, so the choice between Gale and Peeta would be harder.
But that’s just me! Drop a line, and let Robyn know how you would change the ending of your favorite book.

I would allow Cato from The Hunger Games to live. He seemed to me like a pretty decent guy. And I would've let Thresh live. He was cool :p

My favorite books are the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. But I like them so much, I wouldn't change a thing. But, I just finished the new one, Cabin Fever, and I wish they would tell what happens after he catches the bad guy (its himself, he did it for the publicity.).Like,did he get a reward? What happened? I don't wanna waste it to the people who haven't read it so, thanks!

I would not have let Dumbledore die. I also would have made Voldemort appear in that scene too.

In Anne of Green Gables, I would let Mathew live.

I would definitely not let Prim die and I would like to see some Gale action to know what exactly happened to him. I would also not have wanted Finnick to die. He was so sweet!! Not that I would've wanted Katniss to marry him, that just seems so wrong!!!!! My friends think The Hunger Games is sooooooooooo violent!!!! And I suppose it is. I'm only in 5th grade and my grades are very good. But anyway, HAPPY ENDINGS!!!!!!

What i wolud do to change the end of my book to make it more fantsy or more likely spice i would spice it up with words that i Know people would love such as "extrodinary" so that when they finish reading they can tell their other friends that, "that was a good book you should read it somtimes" Thats how i would spice my boo up.

well, what i would do first is to rewrite it over .the second thing i would do is to figure out what i would for the end.
Comment #12 | Posted by: purplefashion22 on November 21, 2011 at 09:28 PM
I would of let Fred and Lupin, Sirius, and Snape survive the Deathly Hallows.

I think in Mockingjay, the whole capitol deal was a little out of hand, but the first two are my all tme favorite books! I would have Katniss choose Gale instead of Peeta because Gale has been her friend all along, and if it weren't for the Hunger Games, Peeta and Katniss probably wouldn't know each other.

In the book "Mockingjay" I would have let Prim live and even though it was in the middle and not the end, have never let Peeta get hijacked by the tracker jackers! I love Peeta!

Lord of the Rings-- Frodo wouldn't leave and one of Sam's kids would grow up and go on an adventure. Of course, LOTR is very long as it is.

In Allie Finkle, I would make all of her enemies move to the same school as her and see how it would turn out.

I would not let Fred die in the end of Harry Potter.

My favorite book is The Frost Bite. Don't get me wrong but it is a good book. But there is a lot that I would change about it. Like if I were able to change something in it I would make it to where there is more vampires in the book. But other wise I would make it to where they would describe all of the vampires more.
