The opening creates expectations and curiosity. The ending fulfills or subverts those expectations. If they work well together, the story feels coherent and meaningful.
The opening of 'The Great Gatsby' - 'In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."' This sets a reflective and somewhat nostalgic tone. It makes the narrator seem like someone who has been ruminating on this advice for a long time, which gives the story a more personal and introspective feel overall.
They can have a huge impact. A strong opening grabs the reader's attention and sets the tone, while a good ending leaves a lasting impression and ties up loose ends.
In the case of 'Snow White', the original has a message about good triumphing over evil. But an alternate ending where the queen reforms herself and Snow White forgives her changes the message. It now emphasizes the power of forgiveness and redemption. It makes the story less about a simple battle between good and evil and more about the possibility of change and growth in people, even those who seem irredeemable at first.
Villain origin stories drive the plot. In 'Aladdin', Jafar's ambition and his backstory of always being power - hungry lead to his various schemes against Aladdin. His origin story sets up his goals and actions throughout the movie, which in turn moves the story forward.
The ending impacts the overall narrative by providing a final destination for all the character development. It shows where the story ultimately leads. For example, if the characters were on a journey of self - discovery, the ending would show what they've discovered about themselves.
They add depth. For example, the grail stories about powerful artifacts like the Holocrons give more background to the Force and the different ways it can be accessed and understood. This enriches the overall story by showing the long - standing traditions and knowledge within the Star Wars universe.
Women in stories can change the direction of the narrative. For example, if a woman character makes a crucial decision, it can lead to a whole new set of events.
I believe 'animaniacs the ending of our story' will conclude the overall narrative by having a grand finale. There could be a big event that all the characters are involved in. This event could be the climax of all the sub - plots and main plot lines. It might be a battle against a common enemy, or a celebration of some sort that unites all the characters and gives a sense of finality to the story. It'll also likely have some sort of moral or lesson at the end, which is often a characteristic of this type of animated series.
The choice of words can set the mood. If an author uses dark, gloomy words like 'shadowy', 'forlorn', the mood will be somber. On the other hand, bright, lively words like'sunny', 'cheerful' create a positive mood. Also, the pace. A fast - paced story might create excitement or anxiety, while a slow - paced one can be more relaxing or melancholic.
The ending completes the overall narrative by resolving some of the main conflicts. It gives a final shape to the story.
