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

Sure. A story about a local grocery store owner. He gets up early every day to open his store, serves the neighborhood customers, and deals with daily problems like supply shortages or difficult customers. His simple goal is to keep his business running and support his family.

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.

Sure. One example is the movie 'The Inside Man'. In this story, there is a bank heist. The inside man is a bank employee who helps the robbers in some way, like providing information about the security system or the bank's layout. It's a tense thriller as the police try to figure out what's really going on while the robbers and the inside man have their own plans.

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.
