Can you give some examples of 'the great shift fiction'?

An example could be 'The old mansion loomed at the end of the overgrown driveway, its broken windows like empty eyes staring into the night.' This opening gives a vivid image of a spooky location. The comparison of the broken windows to empty eyes gives the mansion a menacing and haunted feel. It invites the reader to explore further, to find out what secrets the mansion holds.

Sure. 'Moby - Dick' by Herman Melville is a great example. It delves into American themes of adventure, obsession, and the relationship between man and nature, which were important aspects of the American psyche at that time. Also, 'Don Quixote' can be considered in a way for Spain. It shows the Spanish sense of chivalry, idealism, and the relationship between the individual and society in Spain during that period.

'Falling Man' by Don DeLillo is also a part of '9 11 fiction'. It focuses on the lives of several characters in the aftermath of the attacks, including a man who was in the towers and his struggle to come to terms with what happened. There are also other works like 'The Submission' which deal with the cultural and social implications in the post - 9/11 world.

The 'the great shift fiction' could be about a significant change or transformation in a fictional world. It might involve changes in society, like a shift in power structures, or in the environment, such as a great ecological shift.

The opening of 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger, 'If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.' This line gives us a very clear sense of the narrator's voice - a bit cynical and reluctant to conform to the usual storytelling norms, which is very characteristic of the whole novel.

One example could be the idea of the 'invisible hand' which is somewhat related. It's like a 'great fiction' in that it's an abstract concept that describes how the market self - regulates. Hayek might consider this as part of what he means by 'the great fiction' and quoting it would be referring to this concept when discussing economic order.

Sure. A great start could be a character in a moment of extreme emotion. For instance, a young girl crying inconsolably on a park bench. It makes the reader wonder what has made her so sad and interested in finding out more about her story. Another example is starting with a question that the story will gradually answer. Such as 'What if the world suddenly lost all its colors?' This piques the reader's curiosity right from the start.

Sure. Take 'Pride and Prejudice' for example. The characters are very well - developed. Elizabeth Bennet is complex, intelligent, and independent. The plot is engaging as it revolves around the relationships and misunderstandings of the characters. The theme of love and marriage in the context of social class is deeply explored. The language is also very elegant and vivid. Another example is '1984'. The setting is a very original and dystopian future which reflects on power and control. The characters like Winston are multi - dimensional, and the themes are highly relevant and thought - provoking.

Sure. 'All children, except one, grow up.' from Peter Pan. This first sentence immediately grabs the reader's attention by presenting a rather strange and thought - provoking statement. It makes you wonder who the one child is that doesn't grow up and sets the stage for a magical adventure story.

One example is 'Destiny'. It has amazing gameplay mechanics, like the intense shooting and looting systems. But its story is often convoluted and hard to follow, with a lot of lore that's not well - explained in - game. Another is 'No Man's Sky'. The exploration and survival aspects are great. You can travel to countless planets. However, the initial story was weak and not very engaging.
