π Topic Summary
A story ending, or conclusion, is the last part of a story. It wraps up the events, tells us what happened to the characters, and often teaches a lesson or shows the result of the story's events. A good ending makes the reader feel satisfied and understand the story's message.
When writing a story ending, think about how the characters have changed, what problems were solved, and what the reader should remember most. Practice writing different endings to see how they change the overall impact of your story.
