For a short story to be good in 'good and bad short stories', it often has a unique voice. The author's style should be distinct and add to the overall atmosphere of the story. Take 'The Dead' by James Joyce. His use of language creates a melancholic and immersive mood. On the other hand, a bad short story may have a dull or unoriginal voice. In terms of plot structure, a good short story has a proper build - up and resolution. A bad one might rush through the story without proper development. Moreover, a good short story can evoke emotions in the reader. If it fails to do so, like some stories that are just a list of events, it can be considered bad.
One reason is that the developers might focus more on the gameplay mechanics. For example, in a fighting game like 'Mortal Kombat', they are so occupied with creating cool combat moves and characters that the story takes a backseat. The story might be just a simple pretext to justify the battles between the characters.
Bad decisions often lead to unexpected situations. These situations are full of drama, excitement or challenges that can be crafted into a good story. For instance, if you decide to take a job in a foreign country without knowing the language well. You'll face many difficulties, but these difficulties can be the elements of an engaging story.
In 'The Great Gatsby', Jay Gatsby's love for Daisy could be seen as a good thing. He throws lavish parties in the hope of winning her back. However, his illegal activities to gain wealth and his obsessive love also lead to his downfall. So, it's a story that contains elements of both good and bad, not easily defined as one or the other.
Yes, they can. Just because a writer is talented doesn't mean every single story they create will be a masterpiece. There could be various reasons. For example, they might be experimenting with a new genre that they are not fully familiar with yet. Or perhaps they were under a tight deadline and couldn't fully develop the story as they would have liked. Sometimes, external factors like personal issues or distractions can also affect the quality of the story they produce.
In my experience, it can be good. Like when my friend and I shared a mutual friend who was a girl. We all had a common interest in music. We would go to concerts together. My friend and she got along great, and it made our group more fun. There was no jealousy or bad feelings because we were all just friends having a good time.
In Wally stories, a bad reflection could be the presence of bullies. Bullies in the story can create an atmosphere of fear and unhappiness. However, the good reflection is often the way characters overcome difficulties. Wally and his friends might face a big problem but solve it together through cooperation, which is a very positive and inspiring part of the stories.
Good user stories are clear and concise. They focus on the user's needs and goals. For example, a good user story for a shopping app might be 'As a shopper, I want to easily find products by category so that I can quickly make a purchase.' Bad user stories are often vague or overly complex. They may not clearly state the user's benefit. Like 'Some user does something in the system without a clear end in mind.'
Good stories tend to have a deeper meaning or message. Take 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which tackles important social issues. Bad stories may lack this depth and just be a series of events. Good stories can also create a vivid world for the audience. In a bad story, the setting might be poorly described or unoriginal.
