Here's another one. 'The sun was setting over the city, casting long shadows across the busy streets. John, a tired journalist, had just received a strange anonymous tip. It promised a story that could change his career, but he was also a bit wary. As he walked towards the meeting place, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched.' This starts with the time and place, and immediately throws in a conflict (the strange tip and the feeling of being watched).
Sure. 'Once upon a time, in a far - away land, there was a young girl named Lily. She woke up one morning to find that her pet rabbit was missing. The small, cozy room that she used to share with her furry friend now felt empty and cold.' This beginning sets up a mystery (where is the rabbit?) and also gives a bit of the setting (her room).
In a small village nestled between two mountains, there lived a boy named Tom. One day, while exploring the forest near his home, he heard a strange noise. It was a deep, rumbling sound that he had never heard before. He stopped in his tracks, his heart pounding. This beginning story is good because it starts with the setting (the village and the forest), and then quickly introduces a situation that makes the reader wonder what the noise is and what will happen to Tom.
Sure. 'Once upon a time, in a far - off land, there was a young girl who found a strange key in the attic. The key was old and had strange markings on it.' This is a great beginning as it starts with a simple situation but has an element of mystery with the strange key.
Sure. In the story of the Titanic, the moment the ship hit the iceberg could be seen as the beginning of the end story. That event started a chain of disasters that led to the sinking of the ship.
Sure. In 'The Lion King', the beginning shows Simba as a young cub, full of innocence and with a loving family. At the end, after all his trials and growth, he restores his family's pride and becomes a wise king. The love and family values present at the start are what he ultimately returns to and upholds at the end.
Since I'm not sure about 'tailsmo', let's consider a general example. A story about a character who loses their job. A new beginning could be them starting their own business in a completely different field. For more endings, they could either find a new job and be content, or they could struggle with unemployment and face various hardships, or they could even discover a new passion that has nothing to do with their previous career.
One example is 'The Hunger Games'. The system of the Capitol controlling the districts, with the annual Hunger Games as a means of control, is a well - defined system. The characters' struggle within this system makes it a great story.
Shelley's 'Ozymandias' is also a great 'good poem story'. It describes the ruins of a once - great statue of a king. Through the poem, we can picture the vast desert and the broken statue, and it conveys the message about the transience of power and human pride.
Here's one. A man who is completely new to investing puts all his money into a random stock and the very next day, the stock price multiplies tenfold. In the real world of investing, there are so many risks and uncertainties that such instant and huge success is very unlikely. So it's a '2 good 2 be true story'.
Sure. There's a story about a community coming together to build a playground for the kids. Everyone pitched in, from the local carpenters donating their time and skills, to the neighbors bringing food for the workers. In the end, the kids had a wonderful new place to play, and it's a 'fell good story' because it shows the power of community spirit.
Take 'The Hunger Games' trilogy. At the end, Katniss and Peeta are able to start a new life together, free from the tyranny of the Capitol. The ending shows that their fight was not in vain and that they can now build a better future. It ties up the main plot lines of the series about revolution and survival and gives hope for a new world.
Sure. Let's say you're talking about your success in a sports competition. The 'a story' is how you trained hard and won the final match. The 'good b story' could be about the time you got injured during training but still managed to keep going. It shows your perseverance and is related to the main story but is a side - aspect.
