One cautionary note: I know that this type of conflict is typical of this era, but I worry that the daughter is simply the prize to be won in both scenarios. Either she's the approved suitor's prize or she runs off with her unapproved suitor and her father has lost all hope and suffers financial ruin. That seems like a lot to put on a character who doesn't seem to have much agency in the story. How might you heighten her role in the story and modernize some of these themes?

ENG 520 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a detailed story plan. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because all

of readers. Often, professional writers are called upon to produce short stories or even novels at short notice, on a strict deadline, and perhaps even a

creative ideas for their desired market in an efficient manner.
In this final assessment, you will produce a detailed story plan that consists of a number of polished artifacts, each demonstrating mastery of course topics,
including plot outlines, setting and character building, theme, structure, and setting. You will also use brainstorming techniques and incorporate peer feedback
to improve your final product. Finally, your story plan will include a goals statement that is essentially a variation on a statement of intent; it includes what you
intend to accomplish creatively in the story on a thematic and a craft level, a.
