If your story was told what type of a story would it be?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) February 9th, 2011

Everyone is said to have a story. If you told yours would it be mostly a tragedy, comedy, drama, or suspense? Or would it start one way but end up another?

Most probably a Black comedy…… :-/

Same old ‘once upon a time’ trash novel that gets a lot of interest but nobody will ever remember.

It would probably be somewhere around the tone of Wristcutters. So… yeah, black comedy.

Mine would definitely be adventure. Started out in small town eastern USA, went to school, acquired the requisite letters after my name, had a successful career in the real world, dropped out and went to the dogs, literally. Then sold it all and moved to Australia to be with a man I met on the internet. In Oz I moved from the civilization of Sydney to hippy beach bum type life in Queensland then on to the isolated bush of the still uncivilized Northern Territory, now back down to a semi civilized part of east coast again. Just survived the largest cyclone in recorded history. It’s all good and it’s all an amazing adventure.

A tragic comedy.

It would be a musical comedy horror story with living dead doing River Dance with my MIL in the lead. A never ending saga of turmoil, bad one liners a d setting would take place in a jacuzzi tub with champaigne of course! })

An adventure about discovering the beauty in life, such as it is and then coming to appreciate what we have rather than we long for. Wabi-sabi man.

I’ve always said the title of my story would be The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Girl. It would be a horror show for the first half, and a story of redemption and overcoming obstacles in the second.

Mine would reflect a life of discovery and dedication to self awareness and knowledge. What a wonder this life is and how great is the adventure.

It’s all comedy!

My ‘story’ is the same story with minor variations of the human story.

Really, no story at all, just life doing what it does best, giving us exactly what we need for our growth in the moment.

I’ve told parts of my story in all those ways at times. As the story teller, I can tell it any way I want to, and I do.

It would be all of those things. It would start as a comedy, move to teen drama, then tragedy, suspense, more tragedy, romantic comedy, and now it is just drama; however, it would be peppered throughout with my odd humor.

ucme's avatar

Ooh an action packed, comedy filled, romantic roller coaster of an epic tale it would be. With a happy ending…..I hope!

Bluefreedom's avatar

It would be more drama than anything else but the kind that would appeal to the masses and keep their attention fixated.

xjustxxclaudiax's avatar

Mine would be horror, gore, with a little romance…and zombies.

Kardamom's avatar

It would definitely be a musical with lots of period piece costume changes and a surprise ending.

A little paperback hidden on a library shelf and with the last few pages missing.

Joker94's avatar

I would say it would be a comedy of errors/black comedy/drama/coming-of-age story. You know, with a good romance part here or there, hopefully.

rooeytoo's avatar
