Well, think about it this way. A story could have a happy ending like the hero gets the girl and saves the day. But 'its not the happy ending its the story' implies that all the things that led up to that ending - the challenges the hero faced, the friends he made along the way, the mistakes he learned from - those are the real essence of the story. It's about the process, not just the end result. For example, in a coming - of - age story, the character's self - discovery journey is more significant than just where they end up in life at the end of the story.
It means that the journey or the plot of a story is more important than just the final happy outcome. The experiences, the characters' growth, and the events that unfold during the story are what really matter, not just a neat, happy conclusion.
This statement emphasizes that the narrative as a whole holds more value than simply reaching a happy conclusion. Often, in stories, we get so focused on whether things will end well. But in reality, it's the twists and turns, the relationships developed, and the lessons learned throughout the story that give it depth and meaning. Take a story of a person's struggle with an illness. The happy ending might be that they recover, but the real story is in their fight, their moments of despair and hope, and how they changed during that difficult time.
The place you stop the story can make all the difference. If it's at a high point, it often leads to a perceived happy ending.
Sure. Consider the movie 'The Pursuit of Happyness'. The happy ending is that Chris Gardner finally gets the job and secures a better life for him and his son. But the story is about all the hardships they faced - being homeless, having to sleep in a subway bathroom, the constant rejections. It's these parts of the story that really make it impactful, not just the fact that they end up in a better place.
Basically, it implies a lack of novelty. It could be about a work situation where the boss always gives the same excuse for not giving a raise. 'Its the same old story' of empty promises.
'Its not the end of your story' is a very positive and inspiring statement. It tells us not to be too discouraged by setbacks. If you think about it in terms of a journey, just because you hit a bump in the road doesn't mean you can't keep going. There are so many directions your life can take from that point on, and you have the power to shape the rest of your story.
It could mean that a certain situation or event is ultimately determined by the passage of time. For example, in a story of personal growth, achieving goals might be a matter of time. You need to experience different things over time to finally reach a certain level of maturity or success.
Basically, it tells us not to form quick opinions. We often make snap judgments based on what we see or are told initially, like we might assume a book with a boring - looking cover story won't be good. But in fact, if we dig deeper, we might find it to be full of surprises, and the same goes for people, events, or things in general.
If we think about it literally, a cock (rooster) in a farmyard setting can be quite headstrong. It might not listen to commands or cues from the humans around it or even from other animals. It could be that it has its own routine for waking up, foraging, and going to sleep, and this routine is so set in its mind that it doesn't deviate from it easily. So, this phrase could be used to describe that kind of independent - minded behavior of a rooster.
Well, 'its fragile' could refer to something being delicate in the context of the Christmas story. Maybe it's a fragile ornament or a delicate relationship in the story. And 'we from christmas story' is quite a strange construction. It could mean that the speakers or the subjects are somehow part of or connected to the events in a Christmas story. However, this is all just speculation without further details.
It means that someone should understand the implicit message or clue ('take a hint') because it's a familiar or repetitive situation ('the same old story'). For example, if a person keeps getting rejected in a friendly way when asking someone out, they should take a hint that the other person isn't interested. It's like a common pattern that keeps happening.
Well, it could mean that the story seems real at first glance but is actually false. Maybe it has elements that are made up to deceive or mislead.
