In a theater, there were some audience members who were daydreaming or chatting during a rather slow part of the play. But when the plot suddenly took an unexpected turn and the main character was in danger, these idle audience members immediately raced back to the story, focusing their attention back on the stage.
Imagine a group of children who were playing around instead of paying attention to the storyteller. But when the storyteller mentioned a magical treasure that was about to be found in the story, the children, who were idle before, quickly raced back to the story, eager to hear more.
It could mean that in a state of idleness or inactivity, someone or something races back to the context or plot of a story. For example, if a character has been distracted for a while and then suddenly gets back into the flow of the story's events, it can be described as an idle race back to the story.
Well, 'the idle' might refer to those who are not doing anything purposeful at the moment. 'Race back' gives a sense of urgency or quick movement. So, it could be that these idle individuals or things are suddenly rushing back into the context of a story. For example, in a narrative where characters were side - tracked and now they are hurriedly getting back to the main plot which is the story.
Just simply pick up the book where you left off and start reading again. If you were in an idle state, not really thinking about the story, and then you start reading quickly to get back into it, that's an idle race back to the story.
Sure. For a character in a story, a back story could be like this. A young man named Tom grew up in a small, poverty - stricken town. His father left when he was very young, and his mother worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. This difficult childhood made Tom determined to succeed in life. He studied hard despite the odds, and that's his back story which could influence his actions and decisions in the main story.
Another example could be the back story of the iPhone. Steve Jobs had a vision of creating a revolutionary mobile device. Apple had been working on various technologies for years. There were also market trends that influenced the development of the iPhone. The need for a more user - friendly and multi - functional mobile device was growing. All these factors combined are part of the back story of how the iPhone came to be.
Sure. A family had to evacuate their home due to a wildfire. After the fire was put out, they returned to their house which was partially damaged. They repaired it, replanted the garden, and got back to their normal family routines. That's a 'back to normal story'.
Here's another example. A man and a woman who first connected through an online book club. Their love's back story involves the books they discussed, the virtual meetings they had, and the moment when they decided to meet in person. All these events from their past are part of the story of their love.
In 'The Hunger Games', when Katniss volunteers as tribute for her sister. That moment is a no - turning - back point. She is thrust into the deadly Hunger Games arena, and from that second, she has to fight for survival. There's no going back to her normal life in District 12 until she either wins or dies. Her decision changes the whole trajectory of the story, leading to her battles, alliances, and the revolution that follows.
Imagine a family gathering where a photo album is being passed around. One person looks at it and then passes it back to the person who gave it to them because they noticed a page was torn and wanted to make sure it was fixed before it continued to be passed around. This is an example of a pass back story in a non - sport context.
Sure. In the movie 'The Lion King', the flashback story is about how Scar got his scar. It shows the events that led to his jealousy and hatred towards Simba's father, Mufasa. This flashback helps the audience understand Scar's motives throughout the main story.
