The writers, I do believe, who get the best and most lasting response from their readers are the writers who offer a happy ending through moral development. Choose a novel or play that has the kind of ending Weldon describes. Novels and plays often include scenes of weddings, funerals, parties, or other social occasions. Such scenes may reveal the values of the characters and the society in which they live. Select a novel of play that includes such a scene and, in a focused essay, discuss the contribution the scene makes to the work as a whole.
