Illustrated example of the resolution of the story

A few days later, Boko was brought before the court and remanded in prison. The parents

tried everything they could, but their wealth could not buy the law of the country. Boko was

sentenced to five years in prison with hard work. After serving five years in prison, he was

released. When he returned home, he discovered that his mother had passed away as a result

of his actions. He resolved to turn a new leaf. Two years later, he was able to repair all of the

harm he created. He married, and they contributed to increase the father's wealth.

The end (conclusion of story)

It is in this part that the event in the story ends. When we say ends, it means we discover the

main problem; we either solved or unsolved it in the resolution of the story. This is the final

part of the events in the story, plus the writer’s remarks or advice on the lessons the story

achieved. Make sure to follow instructions; stories that need to begin in a particular way

must be treated as such, or any other.

Illustrative example

At last, Boko’s father joined his ancestors, and he was made the chief of the town! All these

happened as a result of his total comeback. So, the elders even forgave him and overlooked

his prison sentence. He became a well-notable chief, and his kingdom prospered in all his

days. So, we, as people, must not let our past shortcomings and mistakes hinder our

progress.
