The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Brian Selznick

What is the resolution in my story?

The big problem in my story, is that Hugo is trying to fix the automaton, but the mean storekeeper took it away from him when he was caught stealing things from his store. He fixed this problem by continuing on the automaton, even without the notebook, and he was able to get the key. He has always noticed the key around Isabelle's neck but he figured out that there was a whole shaped like a heart, on the back of the automaton and the key was shaped like a heart! He took the key and placed it in the back of the automaton and it sprung to life, unleashing all the secrets Hugo was looking for.
"The original key had been lost in the fire, and all the other keys he found around the station and in windup toys from the booth didn't fit. But when he saw the key around Isabelle's neck, he knew right away it would work. And now he had it." (Selznick 233)
