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.
An example could be in a business. When a company starts to make bad decisions, like over - expanding without proper market research. Let's say a small coffee chain decides to open dozens of new stores in a short time without considering the local competition. The moment they start this ill - advised expansion could be the beginning of the end story for that business. It often leads to financial problems, closures of stores, and eventually, if not corrected, the end of the business.
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.
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. '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 the story of the Greek gods, we often see how their actions affect their descendants. At the end of some of these stories, the fates of the descendants are shown. For example, the descendants of Zeus might be in positions of power or facing challenges because of their divine lineage. This is an example of how the 'descendants end of the story' can play out, with the story's conclusion having a focus on these offspring.
A story about a long - distance runner who has been training hard for the Olympics but gets injured just before the trials. His Olympic dream is shattered, and the story is about how he copes with this end of the road for his athletic career. It shows his disappointment, his struggle to come to terms with it, and how he might find a new direction in life.
One example could be a story where a small town discovers that a nearby volcano is about to erupt and destroy everything. The townspeople have to decide whether to stay and try to save their homes or flee.
Sure. A short story where a man is searching for a lost treasure based on a map. He follows all the clues, but in the end, he discovers that the treasure was already found and removed years ago. So, his journey has no real payoff, which makes it a dead end story.
In some stories, like in the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. The couple decides to erase their memories of each other. By doing so, their love story ends. It's a rather unique take on how a relationship can conclude. They start off loving each other, but due to problems and pain, they choose to forget, which is effectively the end of their love story.
One example could be the story of Noah's Ark from the Bible. God was about to send a great flood to destroy the earth because of the wickedness of humanity. Noah was chosen to build an ark and save his family and pairs of every kind of animal. This is a classic 'end is nigh' story where a catastrophe was about to happen and only a select few were to be saved.
Some long - running soap operas can be like a 'never end story'. For example, 'Coronation Street' has been on air for decades. There are always new characters, new relationships, and new dramas. The story just keeps going, with one plotline leading to another, and there's no sign of it coming to a halt.
