Can you give examples for the two meanings of the word novel?

Of course. 'Jock' is a word in the 'ock' family. It often refers to an athlete. 'Dock' as mentioned before can also mean to cut something short, like docking a dog's tail. And 'rock' can not only be a hard object but also mean to move gently back and forth, like when you rock a baby to sleep.

Sure. A common good meaning is courage. In short stories like 'The Little Engine That Could', the engine's repeated 'I - think - I - can' shows great courage in the face of a difficult task. Another example is the meaning of family. Some short stories highlight the importance of family bonds, like how family members support and love each other unconditionally. And also, responsibility. Stories may illustrate characters taking on responsibilities, which is a good meaning as it encourages readers to do the same in their own situations.

The word 'novel' can refer to a literary genre that typically involves a complex plot, characters, and settings in a work of prose fiction. This includes classic novels like 'Moby - Dick'. Additionally, 'novel' can mean innovative or fresh. A novel approach to solving a problem is one that is different and creative.

Sure. 'Final Breath' is one. It makes you think of someone taking their last gasp, which is quite terrifying in just two words.

Another one could be 'Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers.' It's a very concise way to show the development of a relationship in just six words. This kind of short - form storytelling forces the writer to be extremely creative and convey a lot of meaning in very few words.

Honestly, I'm not familiar with a particular 'the first word novel'. There are so many great novels out there. However, some novels start in a very unique way. For instance, 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' from 'A Tale of Two Cities'. But this may not be what is meant by 'the first word novel' as the term is rather unclear.

The noun 'novel' is all about that long - form fictional literature. There are different genres of novels like romance novels, science - fiction novels, etc. When it comes to the adjective 'novel', it's about standing out from the old or common. A novel concept in architecture might be a building design that no one has seen before.

Sure. 'Novel genre' is one. It helps to classify different types of novels like mystery novels, romance novels etc. Another is 'novel plot', which refers to the storyline in a novel.

The dog died. He was alone.

Of course. 'Found love. Lost it. Still alive.' It's a short but powerful statement about the experience of love and loss. And 'She left. I stayed. Silence ensued.' which effectively conveys the aftermath of someone leaving.
