What is a story? Stories are comprised of ideas. These ideas come directly from the writer who puts into words that which he has conjured. Most stories traditionally start with some sort of conflict and then progress to a solution – this maybe either good or bad – and conclude the tale. Some or most people might consider this to be the bases for all stories, and anything that falls outside this is something else; however, literature writing is an informal style where people are free to be creative and explore their minds without the limitations of grammar or specific audiences. The format and style used by most stories today are just a result of what attracts people the most – struggle, pain, perseverance, victory – and can eventually change over time just like clothing and musical trends. The story, “Girl”, presents the idea that someone is speaking to another about things that person should or should not do. Regardless of how much or little or how developed a story is does not depict its qualification. If the story presents an idea, then it is, in fact, a story.
Or you can just agree with Elizabeth Bowen who said, "A story is the moment after which a character's life is changed forever."
