In writing, we can use the 'first then last story' concept for pacing. The 'first' part should draw the reader in. You can use an interesting hook, like starting with a strange event. Then, you gradually unfold the story, adding details and sub - plots. By the 'last' part, you should have a satisfying ending. For instance, in a thriller, the first part sets the dangerous situation, then the middle is full of chases and escapes, and the last part reveals how the hero overcomes the villain.
When applying 'first then last story' in writing, it's important to think about character development. In the 'first' part, introduce the characters with their initial traits. As the story progresses (the 'then' part), let the characters change and grow. In the 'last' part, show how they have become different due to the events of the story. For example, in a coming - of - age story, the first part shows the naive protagonist, then through various experiences they mature, and in the last part, they are a changed person, ready to face the world.
To apply the principles, start by being honest about your experiences. Then, structure your story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Make sure the events are related in a way that makes sense.
We can look for signs of God's presence in the events that happen to us each day, seeing our own lives as a story where God is involved.
In writing, to apply the strong method of story - telling, start with a strong opening sentence. It could be a question, a bold statement or a description that creates intrigue. For example, 'What if the world ended tomorrow?'.
To apply this concept in daily study, we need to be patient with our progress. Learning is a slow and steady process. If you're studying math, for example, you might not understand a complex formula immediately. But keep working at it, try different examples, and gradually you'll get it. Also, don't compare your progress to others. Everyone has their own pace of learning. Instead, focus on your own improvement. Additionally, use a variety of study methods. For instance, if you're studying history, you can read books, watch documentaries, and visit museums related to the topic. This comprehensive approach helps you gain a deeper understanding and is a long - term way to succeed in your studies.
By not giving up easily. For instance, if you face rejection in a relationship, remember it's not the end of your story. You can work on yourself, become a better person, and find someone more suitable in the future.
In real life, we can apply it by not making assumptions about people based on their names. For example, if someone has a name that is associated with a certain culture or profession, don't assume they fit all the stereotypes related to that. Treat each person as an individual with their own unique story.
It could be a day when a character realizes that they are at the end of a certain phase in their life. For instance, if the character has been through a series of relationships, 'the last first day' might be the day they start a relationship knowing it's the last time they'll start one anew.
One way is in cooking. First, you learn the traditional recipes, and then you can be novel by adding your own unique ingredients or cooking methods.
In daily life, we should always tell the truth when dealing with others. For example, when giving feedback or sharing experiences, not making things up. Also, when we make a promise, we should keep it, because truth in our actions is as important as truth in our words.
We can apply it by always seeking the truth. For example, when we hear a rumor, we look for facts to confirm or deny it.
