Problem
At this point in the unfinished story, rank the four characters-Rosalind, Donald, Boris, and Maxine-from the least moral to the most moral (the ranking is worth three bonus points added to your points total). Describe a paragraph of about each character giving specific reasons for your ranking. In each of the paragraphs, make sure that you address the following concepts: What did each person say, do, or think (or NOT say, do, or think) that led you to make the judgments that you did? Which person can you relate to most, and which person is most repulsive to you? Which characters remind you of someone you have known or have heard about in the past? Are any of these characters similar to characters we've read about in class this semester?
After ranking the characters and writing your explanations, describe your own ending to the story based upon the concept of poetic justice; in other words, the "bad" characters are punished while the "good" characters are rewarded. What will Maxine say to Donald, if anything? Will Donald find out about Rosalind's plans, and if so, how will he react? What will ultimately happen to Rosalind and Boris?
