My Alternate Ending

Directions: After discussing as a class about the characters, the setting, and the theme of Thank
You Ma’m by Langston Hughes, you must write at least 5 sentences that change the ending of
that story. You may take it in any direction that you choose as long as it is school appropriate.
You may begin your alternate ending after Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones says, “’Eat some
more, son,’ she said.” or after.
