Can you give an example of 'the common man story'?

An example of a 'common man story' is that of a single mother working two jobs. She has to take care of her kids, get them to school, and then rush to her first job at a diner. After that, she goes to her evening job at a supermarket. Despite being exhausted, she is determined to give her children a good life. She saves every penny she can to send her kids to college someday.

Of course. Here's an example. I told my coworker a fish story where I was out fishing and a school of fish lifted my boat out of the water. This is a very far - fetched fish story that I gave him. It was a way to pass the time and have a laugh at work.

One example could be the story of Jonah in the Bible. Jonah was a man who was swallowed by a big fish. It's a well - known story where a man is directly related to a fish in a very significant way.

Sure. There's a story where a middle - man named Jack works in the art market. He connects artists who need to sell their works with collectors. Jack has to deal with different personalities - some artists are temperamental and some collectors are very picky. One time, he had to convince a famous artist to sell a piece to a collector who was not well - known in the art world. It was a challenge for Jack as he had to balance the artist's reputation and the collector's enthusiasm.

Sure. In a political debate story, Candidate A might say they want to increase taxes on the wealthy to fund social programs. Candidate B then misrepresents Candidate A's position by saying 'Candidate A wants to tax everyone into poverty'. This is a straw man argument within the story. The story could then show how this false representation affects the public's perception and the outcome of the debate.

An example might be a story of a delivery man in a big city. He uses his bike (which is powered by his legs pedaling) to make deliveries all day. One day, he discovers a lost dog while on his route. He decides to take time out of his busy schedule to find the owner. The whole adventure of looking for the owner while still trying to complete his deliveries is a 'leg man story'.

Sure. There could be a story where a man is exploring an old mine. He accidentally steps on a weak part of the ground and falls into a deep hole. He has to use his flashlight to look around, find some old ropes or ladders in the hole to climb out.

One example could be the story of Achilles. He was a great hero in Greek mythology. Despite his near - invincibility in battle, he was still mortal. His heel was his weak point, and ultimately, he was killed. This shows that even the mightiest of men are mortal.

Sure. A man says he once climbed a mountain so high that he could touch the moon. That's clearly a tall man story as it's physically impossible.

Sure. There was a man who was hiking in the mountains. He didn't notice a deep hole covered by leaves. He fell into it. He tried to call for help but there was no one around. So he started to look for a way to climb out. He found some roots sticking out of the wall of the hole and used them to pull himself up.
