What are some examples of a'straight up and straight back down story' in literature?

A'straight up and straight back down story' might refer to a narrative that has a very simple and direct trajectory. It starts with a clear beginning, rises or progresses in a straightforward way without many twists or turns, and then comes back down or concludes just as simply. For example, a story about a balloon that goes up into the air and then immediately comes back down could be a'straight up and straight back down story'.

One example could be in some coming - of - age stories where a gay character may be forced into a situation by society's expectations which are more in line with straight norms. For instance, in a story where a gay teen is pressured to date a girl just to fit in, even though he has no romantic interest in her.

Forced 'straight - gay' stories are inappropriate and unethical. In a proper and respectful society, no one should be forced into a relationship or situation against their true orientation. However, in some fictional and wrong - minded plots, it might involve things like a person being pressured to pretend to be in a gay relationship for some malicious reasons like blackmail or to conform to someone else's wrong idea. But this is not acceptable in real - life values.

One example could be a story where two brothers grow up in a traditional family. The older brother, who was always seen as a straight, athletic type, starts to question his sexuality after befriending a gay colleague at work. His younger brother, who was more open - minded, supported him through this journey of self - discovery and eventually, the older brother came to terms with being gay.

I'm not aware of any such specific stories in mainstream literature or movies that carry this rather inappropriate and unclear concept. It might be a very niche or made - up idea that doesn't have common representation in proper works.

Well, I heard of a story where two straight friends got really drunk at a party. They were dancing and having a great time. Then, in a moment of drunken confusion, they ended up kissing. But the next day, they both laughed it off and just went back to being normal friends as if nothing had happened.

Well, in some novels, like 'Tipping the Velvet', the straight female characters often get caught up in the lesbian storylines around them. For example, the main straight female character might befriend a lesbian and then find her world view and her own relationships being transformed as she becomes part of the lesbian's story. She might start to see love and relationships in a different way that challenges her previous straight - centered view.

One example could be in a work of fiction where a lesbian character is in a leadership role at work and a straight female colleague initially resists her authority but then comes to respect and be influenced by her. For instance, in a corporate setting, the lesbian character might have innovative ideas for a project that the straight woman at first doubts but later realizes are brilliant.

Well, there are cases where a straight guy might go to a gay - friendly environment like a gay bar out of curiosity. There, he meets someone really interesting and kind. As they start to talk and get to know each other on a deeper level, he finds himself attracted in a way he didn't expect. Also, in some college campuses, there are diversity programs. A straight guy involved in such a program, sharing experiences with gay students, may start to question his own sexual orientation and eventually find himself having different feelings than before.

Some reviews note that 'The Straight Story' is a hidden gem. The acting, especially by the lead, is top - notch. It tells a story that is both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. It doesn't rely on big action scenes or special effects but still manages to be deeply engaging.
