I can't really give a specific example as the phrase is so unclear. But let's say there's a haunted house story. The 'keeper' could be an old man who lives near the haunted house. He tells people about how he once saw a strange figure in the window of the house (which is half of the story), but he never reveals what happened next. So he's like the 'keeper to half of the best ghost story' about that haunted house.
Imagine a library with a mysterious manuscript of a ghost story. The librarian is the 'keeper'. The manuscript has been damaged and only half of the most amazing ghost story can be read. The librarian guards this half - story and shares bits of it with curious visitors. For instance, the part of the story that talks about a strange noise in an old castle at midnight, but the rest of the story about what the noise was and who made it is missing. That librarian would be the 'keeper to half of the best ghost story' in this scenario.
Well, it could be an old librarian. They often have a vast collection of books, and among those might be half of the best ghost story. They preserve and protect these stories, passing on the knowledge and mystery within them.
I'm not entirely sure. It could be some kind of unique or regional expression. Maybe 'keeper' here refers to someone who holds on to or is in charge of half of a really great ghost story. It's very ambiguous without more context.
It could mean having a special part of a very interesting ghost story. Maybe it's a unique perspective or a particular part of the plot that makes it so special.
Once there was a student named Tom. He worked really hard in math. The teacher noticed his effort but his performance was not fully up to the standard of a full grade up. So instead of giving him a whole - grade improvement, he got a half - grade improvement from a C - to a C +.
Sure. One example could be two students who fall in love during high school. They have a great time together, share their first kisses and all that. But then one of them has to move to another city with their family. They try to keep in touch but gradually grow apart. It's a half love story because it started so beautifully but didn't have a proper conclusion.
A person might tell a story about how they went on a spontaneous day - and - a - half hiking trip. They could describe the real - life scenery they saw, the challenges of the trail, and the people they met along the way.
In the world of movies, sometimes a character's origin story can be half baked. For example, in a horror movie, a villain's origin is said to be because they were bullied as a child. But the movie doesn't show how that bullying specifically led to their murderous tendencies, what events in between happened, or how their psyche was affected over time. It's just a simple statement without much depth, making it a half baked origin story.
Sure. In a ghost story, a young girl is staying at an old inn. The inn has a reputation for being haunted. As she lies in bed at night, she hears a strange noise. Then an old man in the next room starts to tell her a story about how, years ago, a maid who worked at the inn saw a ghostly figure in the cellar while she was fetching wine. That's an example of a ghost story within a ghost story.
Sure. In a classic haunted house story, the first ghost could be a lady in white who wanders the halls moaning. Then the second ghost could be a shadowy figure that lurks in the corners and seems to be chasing the characters, adding more danger and fear to the plot.
Imagine a large apartment building where every unit is occupied (full house). There are two young people who live on different floors. They meet in the elevator and there's an instant spark. But the hustle and bustle of the building, the different social circles they are in within that full house setting, and their own busy lives only allow their relationship to be at a half - love - story stage. They have some nice moments together, but it's far from a full - fledged love story due to all the distractions and barriers in the full house environment.
