story examples

Well, there's 'Tiny Tim took ten toys to town.' The repeated 't' sound makes it an alliteration. It tells the story of Tiny Tim, who for some reason had ten toys and took them to town. This type of alliteration can be really effective in children's stories as it makes the lines easy to remember and fun to say. It also adds a certain rhythm to the story, which can draw in the listener or reader.

In the story of Noah, Noah was obedient to God. God told him to build an ark because of the coming flood. Noah did exactly as he was told. He spent years building the ark as God instructed, gathering all the animals, and thus was saved from the great flood. This is a clear case of obedience in the Bible story.

Drawings of a historical event can tell a story. For instance, a drawing of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. You have the men in their colonial attire, gathered around a table, pens in hand. The expressions on their faces show the seriousness and importance of the moment. This single drawing can convey the story of a nation's birth and the ideals it was founded on.

Movies are also art that tell a story. A movie like 'The Godfather' tells a multi - generational story of a mafia family. It shows the rise and fall of power, family loyalty, and the darker side of the American Dream through its characters, dialogue, and scenes. Street art can also tell a story. Graffiti or murals in a neighborhood might tell the story of the local community, its struggles, hopes, and its unique culture.

Let's take 'dog' and 'frog'. There was a dog that lived near a pond. One day, it saw a frog jumping in the pond. The dog barked at the frog, but the frog just croaked back. And for 'pen' and 'hen', there was a hen that wandered into a writer's study. The writer had a pen in his hand and the hen thought the pen was some strange new thing. So it pecked at the pen.

One example is Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'How Do I Love Thee?'. In this sonnet, she expresses her deep and unconditional love in a very moving way. She says 'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.' which has become a very famous line in love poetry.

An introduction could also start like this: 'A lone traveler was making his way through the dark forest. The trees, tall and gnarled, seemed to reach out with their branches like skeletal hands. Strange noises echoed all around him, and the air was thick with an unidentifiable smell, a smell that made his heart race with fear.'

You could start by setting the scene, like describing a beautiful landscape or a busy city street. That can draw the reader in right away.

One common example is 'The Arabian Nights,' where Scheherazade tells many tales within the main framework of her trying to avoid execution. Another could be 'One Thousand and One Nights' where each night brings a new embedded story.

In a movie, the 'a story' might be the main plotline about a hero's quest, while the 'b story' could be a subplot like a developing romance. For example, in 'The Lord of the Rings,' the main quest to destroy the ring is the 'a story,' and the relationships among the characters are part of the 'b story'.
