What Makes A Good Story?

When I think of the word "story" there is no way that I can define it in just one sentence. A story comes in many different forms and genres, for example, one form of a story could be a tale of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. Another example could be, for instance a report of an item of news in a newspaper, magazine, or website as well as a piece of gossip or a rumor. But when it comes to writing a great story you have to know the key parts that make up a great story. The theme, plot, story structure, characters, setting, style, and tone all play a part in this. A theme is something important that the story tries to tell us, it's best if the story has this and when you're  writing it  try not to get too preachy. The plot is usually about conflict or stuggle that the main character has to go through. When it comes to the stucture of the story, at the beginning, jump right into the action. At the end, finish the story up quickly. When you think about what kind of characters you want in your story make sure you know them well, your readers should be able to feel like they have something in common with the main character. Be sure to set your story in a time and place that will be interesting and maybe even familiar. And finially, for tone and style use a language that feels right for your story.

I Don't Get It

  A few days ago I was thinking…..why is it that when a guy cheats on his girlfriend 3,4,5,6 times she still continues to take him back?  I have always thought that was stupid and I have yet to hear a good enough reason why she stays.  I don’t care how many times he tells you he loves you, obviously he does not if he cheated on you that many damn times, I mean come on.  I have heard before that it’s different when you have kids and you’re married to him but to be honest I could care less about that. You should not let that stop you, get custody of your kids, divorce his ass, and that’s it.  

I Don't Like It

    Hey everybody, my name is NeQuai and for my first blog I've decided to talk about something that has really been on my mind.....college.  Now when I say college I don't mean picking which one I would like to attend, I am already a college student.  When I stop and think about it the idea that you have to pay for college, that you have to pay to get an education pisses me off.  That is one of the reasons why people can't go to college or they can't finish, they can't afford it.  I mean, sure there are scholarships and loans, but unless you have a full ride scholarship it's only going to take you so far.  And when it comes to loans those aren't really any better because if you can't pay it back then your going to be stuck in debt.  Now, let me make something very clear.  I didn't make this blog to discourage people from going to college I just think that it is ridiculous that you have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars just for one semester. In today's world, depending on what your major is you have to have a degree in something, that is the only way your really guaranteed a job unless you have some type of hook up.
