Metacognition: Short Story

After our my last revision, I didn't have much more to add to my story. In my last revision, the character returns to her relationship which doesn't work. After one of the comments Mr. Allen left on my story, I realized that that just doesn't work. It didn't really make sense for her to go on a figurative journey, and then come back to something that just doesn' work.

While talking during class, Mr. Allen said that the ending needed to have the character make a substantial shift in thinking. He also said that we can't give the characters exactly what they want, but what they need.

My character may have wanted to return to her relationship and have everything work out, but that didn't make for the best story. Once I realized this, the story became much more meaningful.

This sounds like a very interesting assignment. I hope everything works out and that your story turns out as planned. Good luck!
