Can you give an example of a 'too big to fit story'?

Sure. There could be a story where a little mouse tries to live in a house that is too big for it. The rooms are vast, and it gets lost all the time. Then, it finds a little nook that is too small for it to be comfortable in. So it has to search for a place that is just the right size.

Sure. Imagine a historical account that tries to cover an entire century of a country's history in just a few pages. There are so many events, political changes, cultural shifts, and social movements that it becomes 'too big a story' to be told comprehensively in such a short space.

There's also the story of Mansa Musa, the king of Mali. He was one of the richest men in history. When he made his pilgrimage to Mecca, he brought with him a large caravan of gold, slaves, and soldiers. He spread his wealth along the way, building mosques and giving out gold. His journey was a display of extreme opulence and power, which is very much 'fit for a king'. His story shows his influence over a large part of Africa and his ability to amass and distribute vast amounts of wealth.

Sure. 'The Lord of the Rings' can be considered a great big story. It has a vast world with different races, a long and complex plot about saving the world from the dark lord, and many characters with their own arcs.

Sure. A guy might say he caught a fish that was 10 feet long using just a small fishing rod and a single worm. That's clearly a 'big fish story' as it's highly unlikely to be true in normal circumstances.

One example of a big hack story is the Equifax hack. Hackers were able to access the personal information of around 147 million Americans. This included names, Social Security numbers, and credit card details. It was a major data breach that had serious implications for the people whose data was stolen, as it put them at risk of identity theft and financial fraud.

The story of Malala Yousafzai is also a real big story. She defied the Taliban in Pakistan to fight for girls' education. Despite being shot in the head by the Taliban, she survived and continued her activism. Her story became a global phenomenon, inspiring people all over the world to stand up for education rights and gender equality.

One example could be a movie plot where a character is supposed to go on a journey of self - discovery but just ends up traveling from place to place without any real growth. The story is big in terms of the locations and the time span it covers, but empty in terms of character development.

Imagine a small town where there was a local mechanic. He thought he was the best mechanic in the whole world. Whenever someone had a car problem, he would say he could fix it in no time flat, even if it was a really difficult issue. People in the town would roll their eyes and then share stories about his over - confidence as the 'big dick story'. They didn't mean it in a rude way, but more as a way to poke fun at his excessive self - assurance.

Sure. A fisherman says he caught a fish that was ten feet long and weighed a thousand pounds, but actually the fish he caught was only two feet long and twenty pounds. That's a big fish story.
