They could say it if the green book contains ideas, information, or a narrative that doesn't align with their own. For instance, if the green book is about a particular historical interpretation that doesn't match their family's or community's memory of events. It's a way of distancing themselves from what the green book represents.
Perhaps the green book was created without taking into account their perspective or input. It could be a political, cultural, or social statement. If the green book promotes a certain view that is contrary to their values or beliefs, or if it simply doesn't include their voices and experiences, then they would say 'not our story' to emphasize their exclusion from what the green book represents.
There could be several reasons. Firstly, if a person has been consuming a lot of fictional stories and wants a change of pace, they might say 'watch not a story'. They could be looking for something more grounded in reality, like a true - crime documentary. Secondly, they might be interested in learning new things. Non - story - based content such as educational videos or lectures can provide useful information. Lastly, some people might find non - story - based content more relaxing as they don't have to follow a complex plot or remember characters' backstories.
Someone might say 'tells no story' when they are looking for a deeper meaning or connection in something but don't find it. For instance, in a movie that has a lot of action scenes but no real character development or overarching plot, a viewer could say it tells no story.
To avoid misinterpretation. If the plot has some elements that could be misconstrued as ghost - related, they clarify it in advance.
Someone might say it when they want to cut off a conversation about a past event or relationship. For example, if they don't want to dwell on it anymore.
Maybe they've studied the real history in depth and found discrepancies between it and the Hamilton narrative. They could be historians or scholars who are concerned about historical accuracy.
They might be in a hurry and don't have time for long - winded personal tales.
Someone might say 'no reading fanfic' because they are focused on the original source material. Fanfic can deviate a lot from the original, and they might not want to risk getting a distorted view of the story they love. Also, they could be concerned about the legality or ethics of some fanfic, especially if it seems to be misusing the original work's concepts.
It could be that the story involves something that the dad has strong opinions against. For instance, if the story is about experimenting with drugs or alcohol at a young age, they know their dad would be extremely disappointed and angry. So, to avoid that negative outcome, they say 'never tell dad story'.
Maybe they know some inside information that contradicts the common narrative about her.
They might say it to set the right expectations. If people know it's not based on a true story, they won't be looking for real - world connections or getting disappointed if things seem unrealistic. Also, it could be a way for the creator to show that they have complete creative control over the concept of apartment 407 without having to worry about representing real events accurately.
