There's a story where a young boy discovers a door in the attic that leads to a world full of floating islands. Since it's open ended, kids can imagine all the different adventures the boy could have on those islands, like making friends with the cloud - dwelling creatures or finding hidden caves filled with glittering gems.
A Botnik story for kids could be about a friendly monster who lives in a magical forest. The monster's job is to make sure all the flowers are the right color. It's simple and full of imagination.
A story of a young boy who wants to fly like a bird. He tries all sorts of things like making wings out of feathers and paper. In the end, he jumps off a small hill and instead of flying, he lands in a big pile of soft hay. And there are some chickens in the hay who start following him around as if he's their new leader.
One example could be a story about a magical land that exists inside a closet. The kid might describe all the strange creatures that live there.
Sure. Some universities have reported significant cost savings by switching to open access textbooks. They no longer need to spend large amounts on purchasing expensive commercial textbooks for their students. This has freed up funds for other educational resources.
There's a cute wet and messy story about a toddler who discovers a puddle after it rains. He jumps in it with his boots on, and then starts stomping around, getting water and mud all over his clothes and the sidewalk. Also, a story of kids at a school fair where they have a dunk tank. One kid gets dunked and comes out all wet and laughing, and then runs around the fairgrounds, getting the dirt from the ground on his wet clothes.
There are many novels that could potentially be considered 'open house novels'. For instance, Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs. Dalloway' gives the reader an open view into the minds of different characters in a single day. It's like an open house where we can peek into the inner thoughts of various people. Also, James Joyce's 'Ulysses' has a very inclusive and complex narrative that allows the reader to explore different aspects of Dublin life, much like exploring an open house with many hidden corners.
There are many. 'Gulliver's Travels' is one. Gulliver visits different lands, some of which have very high or strange features. For instance, in the land of the giants, everything is on a grand and high scale compared to him. Also, 'Moby - Dick' is set on the high seas, a story of Captain Ahab's obsession with the white whale. The vastness of the ocean and the high - risk nature of the hunt make it a great 'high story'.
A story that starts with a mysterious letter arriving at a person's doorstep. The letter has no return address and is written in an unknown language. The person then has to decide what to do with it. They could try to decipher it, or take it to an expert. There are so many directions the story could go from there. It's a great open ended story as it makes the reader wonder about the contents of the letter and what it could lead to.
Sure. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story that can be considered open - ended. The ending is left for interpretation as to what exactly the narrator's final state of mind is. Also, 'Hills Like White Elephants' by Ernest Hemingway is open - ended. It's a dialogue - heavy piece that leaves the reader to figure out the decision the couple makes regarding the 'operation'. Then there's 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson, which has an ending that shocks and leaves many questions about the society in the story.
Sure. A story where the good - hearted main character, who has been trying hard all along, ends up dying without any hope or redemption. This is a really bad ending as it gives a sense of despair instead of inspiration to kids.
