criteria
  1. 2-4 sentences
  2. Shows settling, not a tacked-on moral
  3. ≥1 subordinating conjunction with correct comma
  4. Optional: names what changed (abstract noun or feeling)
Hints
  1. A resolution shows the next breath, not a life-lesson.
  2. If you reflect, name what changed in the narrator, not 'I learned to ___'.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Adds a tacked-on moral ('And I learned to never give up!').
  • Writes a generic ending that doesn't connect to this specific moment.
