Emotion, and a plot that make sense and coordinate with each other makes a story good. Without emotion every story is bland and doesn't allow connection with the reader. A good plot and emotions allow the character to connect with the reader and make the story more immersive.

A good story is a story that communicates its self well. That includes its charcters how they look(description), the setting, events wihtin the story, emtions and changing charcters, and also meany times under lying themes and things that not surface level. Often also having morals as well as conflict which makes the story more intresting then a montone story.

My favorite stories from my childhood is probably the tale about the cat and monkeys. I loved listening to this story as a child because it portrayed greed and manipulation.

Eden and Ira

2026-02-05 13:49:19 UTC

A good story contains parts like a plot, settings, characters and a climax. It also has a good flow throughout and is not redundant. A bad story doesn't include any of these parts and often doesn't make sense in the end.

One thing is that it's unable to describe the events/setting well to paint a picture in the reader/listener's mind. As well, if a story isn't interesting it lacks a way to grab the attention of the reader/listener. One thing that makes a story is having an interesting setup which leads to an interesting payoff which makes feel satisfied having read the story

We tell stories by speaking, writing, and performing in various arts. Acting, singing, and drawing are all different methods of telling stories.

807308_2 — 2026-02-05 13:49:34 UTC

A story is good when the reader is able to paint an image of it in their head and it keeps them hooked the entire time.

A good story has multiple numbers of characters, a clear plot, and keeps the audience engaged. It often makes you feel something or think differently. A story should have a well beginning, and then a middle with some sort of conflict, and finally the end.

Bridge to Terabithia is one of my favorite childhood books because it allows you to get close to the main characters, and the incident at the end feels more real to the reader since we're so invested in the well being of the characters. It's perfectly paced, and the world building is really nice.

The older a story is, the more it has changed over time. When a story is retold, the story teller themself portrays a piece of themselves along with it, leading the story to change over the course of time. This is especially true if a story is told orally between people. Even written stories change over time, such as reimagined versions of older books.

Stories have changed a lot overtime. In the older times, stories were told to teach life lessons and pass on the memories of ancestors to children. Now stories are told for entertainment and to keep your mind occupied.

Stories are paramount to our existence, they make individuals feel inspired and to take on action rather than if they just heard figures or facts through conveying effective narratives. It is also an effective form of communication.

Some of my favourite include superhero books, animated books, and adventure books because they were exciting and easy to escape into. Stories like Spider-Man, Pokémon, or Batman stories were memorable because they had strong heroes, action, and made me feel excited while reading it.

2026-02-05 13:52:10 UTC

Our favourite story is The Hungry Caterpillar" by Robert Munch. The reason why we chose this iconic story is, between every page, the story adds the right amount of anticipation for kids. It allowed us as kids to visualize and understand the book. The book was also engaging and had vibrant pages for every page.
