One possible example could be in a children's book. There's a character, let's call him Old Tom. Old Tom loves to tell stories about the enchanted forest near their village. Whenever he tells the story of how the forest was created by a magical giant, he whistles a little tune. His whistling adds to the mystery and grandeur of the 'great big story' of the forest's origin.
I'm not sure there's a very common example of exactly this phrase. But imagine a storyteller in an old - fashioned village square. As he begins to tell the story of a great adventure, like a long sea voyage filled with pirates and treasures, he starts to whistle a sea shanty. That could be seen as an example of whisteling while telling a great big story.
Sure. 'The Lord of the Rings' can be considered a great big story. It has a vast world with different races, a long and complex plot about saving the world from the dark lord, and many characters with their own arcs.
It could potentially refer to someone whistling while telling a very large or important story. Maybe it's a creative or poetic way to describe a person who is sharing a grand tale while making a whistling sound at the same time.
Sure. There's a story of a little girl who found a stray kitten. She took it in and cared for it with her limited resources (the 'litle' part). But as the kitten grew, it turned out to be a very special breed. The girl started sharing pictures of the cat on social media, and it became an internet sensation (the 'big' part). Her small act of kindness led to a big story that inspired others to adopt stray animals. It's a great litle big story.
As I'm not familiar with the individual stories in VNN Great Big Stories, I can only speculate. Maybe there is a story about a young artist who struggles to find her voice in a big city but finally manages to make a name for herself through her unique art. This would be a story of perseverance and self - discovery.
One example could be the story of 'Harry Potter'. The books became a global phenomenon, with millions of copies sold worldwide. The story of a young wizard's adventures captured the imagination of people of all ages, and then the movie adaptations further increased its popularity, making it a really big hit story.
As the 'big 50 story' is so undefined, it's hard to give a proper example. But say if it was about 50 memories, it could be like a person looking back on 50 special moments in their life, like their 50th birthday celebration, the 50 times they saw a beautiful sunset, or the 50 conversations that changed their perspective.
Sure. A guy might say he caught a fish that was 10 feet long using just a small fishing rod and a single worm. That's clearly a 'big fish story' as it's highly unlikely to be true in normal circumstances.
One example of a big hack story is the Equifax hack. Hackers were able to access the personal information of around 147 million Americans. This included names, Social Security numbers, and credit card details. It was a major data breach that had serious implications for the people whose data was stolen, as it put them at risk of identity theft and financial fraud.
The story of Malala Yousafzai is also a real big story. She defied the Taliban in Pakistan to fight for girls' education. Despite being shot in the head by the Taliban, she survived and continued her activism. Her story became a global phenomenon, inspiring people all over the world to stand up for education rights and gender equality.
One example could be a movie plot where a character is supposed to go on a journey of self - discovery but just ends up traveling from place to place without any real growth. The story is big in terms of the locations and the time span it covers, but empty in terms of character development.
