ABSTRACT

Definition of ‘story’: ‘in the every day sense, any narrative or tale recounting a series of events’. A good test of good story is to see if it can be ‘boiled down’ to the essence of what it recounts. Some examples:

● Romeo and Juliet: Two young people from warring families fall in love, everything is against them, their attempts to make it right fail, they die and everyone feels responsible and resolve to make peace.
