Well, consider a line like 'Time stood still as I watched her go'. Time doesn't literally stand still. But through poetic license, the poet can make this statement to convey a strong emotional moment, perhaps the shock or the intensity of the moment when the person is leaving. And 'end of story' here means we just accept this as a valid creative expression within the poem, not something to be nit - picked for its literal inaccuracy.
Poetic license means the freedom that poets (and other artists in a way) have to deviate from normal rules, like grammar or fact - just to create a certain artistic effect. 'End of story' here might imply that this is the final word on the matter, that there's no more to be said about it.
In the story of the Greek gods, we often see how their actions affect their descendants. At the end of some of these stories, the fates of the descendants are shown. For example, the descendants of Zeus might be in positions of power or facing challenges because of their divine lineage. This is an example of how the 'descendants end of the story' can play out, with the story's conclusion having a focus on these offspring.
A story about a long - distance runner who has been training hard for the Olympics but gets injured just before the trials. His Olympic dream is shattered, and the story is about how he copes with this end of the road for his athletic career. It shows his disappointment, his struggle to come to terms with it, and how he might find a new direction in life.
One example could be a story where a small town discovers that a nearby volcano is about to erupt and destroy everything. The townspeople have to decide whether to stay and try to save their homes or flee.
Sure. A short story where a man is searching for a lost treasure based on a map. He follows all the clues, but in the end, he discovers that the treasure was already found and removed years ago. So, his journey has no real payoff, which makes it a dead end story.
In some stories, like in the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. The couple decides to erase their memories of each other. By doing so, their love story ends. It's a rather unique take on how a relationship can conclude. They start off loving each other, but due to problems and pain, they choose to forget, which is effectively the end of their love story.
Sure. In the story of the Titanic, the moment the ship hit the iceberg could be seen as the beginning of the end story. That event started a chain of disasters that led to the sinking of the ship.
One example could be the story of Noah's Ark from the Bible. God was about to send a great flood to destroy the earth because of the wickedness of humanity. Noah was chosen to build an ark and save his family and pairs of every kind of animal. This is a classic 'end is nigh' story where a catastrophe was about to happen and only a select few were to be saved.
Some long - running soap operas can be like a 'never end story'. For example, 'Coronation Street' has been on air for decades. There are always new characters, new relationships, and new dramas. The story just keeps going, with one plotline leading to another, and there's no sign of it coming to a halt.
One example is 'Cinderella'. She marries the prince, and they live happily ever after. All the problems she had before, like being mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, are resolved. So, this is a classic case of a story with a closed end.
