Can you give an example of a frame story in modern literature?

In some modern - day novels about immigrant experiences, there can be 'wife forced story' elements. For example, a wife might be forced to leave her career behind when her family immigrates to a new country. She has to deal with the new cultural norms and expectations, like taking care of the household full - time, which she may not have wanted but was pressured into due to family and social pressures in the new environment.

One example could be some of the short stories by Raymond Carver. His works often have a bare - bones style, focusing on simple, everyday situations and characters' basic emotions with minimal description.

Let's say there is a family video that is divided into frames for editing purposes. In frame 10, mom sees her little kid trying to reach for a cookie on the top shelf. In that moment, which is frame 10 (the 'x' frame in this case), mom tickles the kid as a playful way of distracting the child from the cookie. And this becomes the'mom tickled on x frame story' within the family.

Let me tell you about a story with a short time frame of just a few minutes. A person is stuck in an elevator. In those few minutes, they experience a range of emotions - fear, claustrophobia, and then hope when they hear the rescue team approaching. The time frame is crucial here as it focuses the story on those intense moments of being trapped. The short time also means the action and the character's internal thoughts are very concentrated, making for a gripping story.

Consider the story of Mark. Mark is a modern man who is very into fitness. He wakes up early every morning to go to the gym before work. He has a high - stress job in finance but he believes that taking care of his body helps him deal with the stress. He also uses social media to share his fitness journey and inspire others. He is in a relationship and he and his partner often go on hikes together on weekends. His story shows how a modern man combines different aspects of his life like fitness, work, and relationships.

One example could be in James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. There are sub - stories and anecdotes within the main narrative that touch on themes related to sex in a very complex and multi - layered way. Joyce uses these stories within the story to explore human nature, relationships, and the role of sex in society and individual lives.

Another example is from the Greek myth of Zeus impregnating Danaë. Zeus visited Danaë in the form of a golden rain, and she became pregnant as a result. This led to the birth of Perseus, who went on to have many heroic adventures. This story shows how impregnation stories in mythology can be used to explain the origin of heroic or important figures.

The 'Tales of King Arthur' can also be seen as a never - ending story. Over the years, so many different authors have added their own interpretations, new adventures, and characters to the Arthurian legend. It has been continuously evolving since its origin, and there doesn't seem to be a definitive end to the story as new versions keep emerging.

Sure, 'The Odyssey' by Homer is an everlasting story. It's about Odysseus' long journey home after the Trojan War, filled with adventures, challenges, and the longing for home. It has been studied for centuries and its themes still resonate today.

One example is 'The Lord of the Rings'. In this epic, there are multiple storylines involving different characters like Frodo, Aragorn, and Gandalf. All these storylines are tied up towards the end. Frodo's journey to destroy the ring, Aragorn's claim to the throne, and Gandalf's fight against evil all come together to save Middle - earth.
