I'm not entirely sure without more context. It could potentially refer to the idea of comparing the final story in a series or collection to the very first one, perhaps in terms of how a narrative has evolved or how themes have changed from the start to the end.
Well, it might be a story in a community facing a great disaster. The first to sacrifice was perhaps the bravest among them, who tried to save others during the initial chaos. As the situation worsened, more people sacrificed themselves selflessly. And the last sacrifice was the most heart - wrenching as it was the final hope that faded away, leaving a tale of great courage and loss for the whole community.
It could also mean that in a series of stories or in the structure of a single complex story, there is an order. The 'first' story could be like a prologue, giving some basic context. 'Then' other elements of the story develop over time. And the 'last' story is the culmination. For instance, in a trilogy of books, the first book starts the adventure, the middle one develops it further, and the last one finishes it all off, much like how 'first then last story' might be conceptually applied.
The significance is that it shows the progression of selflessness. The first sacrifice often sets an example of courage. It starts a chain reaction. And the last sacrifice is like the final note in a tragic symphony. It can represent the ultimate cost of a cause, whether it's for a noble ideal like freedom or for the survival of a group.
Let's say you want to write a story about a magical adventure. First, introduce the main character, like 'First, a young wizard named Tom received an invitation to a magical school.' Next, describe the events that follow, for example, 'Next, he faced many challenges at the school, from difficult spells to mean classmates.' Then, for the end, use 'last': 'Last, he overcame all the difficulties and graduated as the top wizard in his class, ready to embark on new adventures.'
The first sentence of a story is crucial as it's like the door to the fictional world the author is creating. It has to be interesting enough to make the reader want to continue. It can start with a question, a statement full of mystery, or a vivid description. The last sentence is the final touch. It can make or break the overall impression of the story. If it's too abrupt or doesn't fulfill the expectations set by the story, the reader might be left disappointed. For instance, if a story is about a character's journey to find love and the last sentence just says 'He never found it', it can leave a sad yet thought - provoking aftertaste.
I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read it in great detail. But generally, it likely involves the journey or experiences of the 'last' and 'first' men, perhaps in a post - apocalyptic or evolutionary context.
One way is to look at the characters. See if there are any common characters in the first and last story and how they have changed. For example, if a character was naive in the first story, has he or she become wiser in the last?
The 'very last first time story' could be about a man named Tom. Tom was about to have his very last first job interview. He had been through so many before, but this was different. He put on his best suit, polished his shoes. As he entered the building for this very last first time, he was nervous. But then he remembered all the skills he had acquired over the years. He walked into the interview room with confidence, ready to show them what he could do.
The story could be about a day in the life of a farmer. 'Sunrise' marks the start of his day. He gets up early, feeds the animals, and heads to the fields. He works all day, tending to the crops, repairing fences. As the 'Sunset' approaches, he finishes his work, satisfied with the day's progress, and heads back home to rest, knowing that he has done his part for the day.
