Backing up someone's story implies adding credibility to it. Let's say in a work situation, a colleague claims they completed a task on time but the records are a bit unclear. If you were there and witnessed it, by backing up their story, you are essentially vouching for their truthfulness. It could be as simple as saying, 'Yes, I saw him finish it right when he said he did.'
One way is to provide your own eyewitness account. If you were present when the events in the story occurred, simply stating what you saw or heard can back it up.
It could be true or fictional. Many stories use such settings to create various scenarios, and their truthfulness varies based on the context and the author's intention.
Words back up the story by being accurate and consistent. If the words used are precise in describing the sequence of events, the location, and the characters, it makes the story more reliable. Consistency in the language and the details throughout the story is also important. For example, if a character is described as shy at the beginning, they should not suddenly act overly confident without proper explanation. This consistency in the words used helps to back up the story.
Quotations and statistics can also back up the story. Quotations from key figures or people involved in the story can give it a personal touch and authenticity. Statistics can help to illustrate trends or magnitudes relevant to the story. For instance, if it's a story about economic growth, relevant economic statistics will support it.
The song 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster the People has a rather dark back story. It's about a troubled and potentially dangerous youth. The lyrics seem to be from the perspective of a kid who is planning something bad, with the 'pumped up kicks' being cool shoes that he's wearing while having these disturbing thoughts. It was a very popular song but also sparked some controversy due to its rather menacing undertones.
I don't really know. It could be about a Terry who needed some sort of backup in a situation. Maybe in a work - related scenario where Terry had to complete a task and there was a backup plan or a team to support him.
The song 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush. The back story involves her exploration of themes like power dynamics, gender roles, and the idea of swapping places with someone to understand them better. It was also used in the popular show 'Stranger Things' which brought new attention to the song.
