Movies are also art that tell a story. A movie like 'The Godfather' tells a multi - generational story of a mafia family.

Graffiti or murals in a neighborhood might tell the story of the local community, its struggles, hopes, and its unique culture.

Drawings of a historical event can tell a story. For instance, a drawing of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

This single drawing can convey the story of a nation's birth and the ideals it was founded on.

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.
