There are so many stories we have read that are based on simple ideas. Yet, the author or poet has managed to infuse that story with so much life, that it makes the characters and the situations believable. Who can forget stories like “The Christmas Carol”, “Treasure Island,” “Jane Eyre”, “Oliver Twist” or “Great Expectations”? These were the classic that has survived the test of time.
There are so many great stories written today by modern authors, who have successfully brought their characters to life. Just have a look at the fiction bestsellers list and you will find that most of the stories are about ordinary people, placed in extraordinary situations, who have experiences that the author can make believable for us as readers.
Are there particular stories that you would like to have had a better ending, with better characters, like “Romeo and Juliet” or “Gone with the Wind”? Are there other remarkable classic or modern tales that could have had a better ending, your own imaginative story ending, with a few additional characters?
