It is refreshing to know that there is always an underlying
similarity between all writers and novelists, and their work. I provides me
with a sense of comfort if you will. Comfort in knowing that there is at least
one thing that I can kind of depend on in this world of fiction, but even then even
at the first look the story seems to be a lot different. The book described
that all stories have one origin. Writers and novelists take a story or an
event that was most likely written into a story and then they rewrite it from
their point of view or from their perspective. It’s like one big circle. An
example that helps me is that it’s like taking a quote ad altering it to make
it shine in your favor. Example: “What you give out is what you receive,” a
person can tell that to their daughter or son and claim that they give out
laziness so in turn they won’t be able to get what they want from that parent,
or people who use that “I believe in vibes/Auras” thing. The people who aren’t truthful
about that would use that in their favor and if a specific person got in
trouble for something that person could say “I never go a really good vibe from
her.” To go even further off topic, because that is essentially what I have
done, I personally do believe in people giving off energy and vibes. I go off
the feelings that I get when I am around a person. Meaning, if John come by me
and I automatically become bitter and angry, then it is probably best that I don’t
associate myself with John anymore, because he had something in him or around
him that is very negative and I do not want to be around negativity.
Now, back to the topic at hand. The literary works that are
published are basically one big circle of the same story just re-written. Let
me use the movie example, we can all relate to that. We always have the damsel
in distress, or the three friends where one dates the other, but the third has
always had a crush on one, or the romantic comedy where the two main characters
dislike each other but are forced to work on something and at the end they
become the bestest of friends, or the small town kid that wants to make it big
but is laughed at until they persevere, or the minority that has to defy the
odds in some way, shape, or form. The same thing happens in all the movies and
books, but we are still hooked on them. They continue to draw us in and keep us
there. I want a movie where the damsel doesn’t get saved, the main characters
still end up not liking each other, etc. Yes, I understand that the story is
still the same but at least it’s closer to being real. Maybe I don't like that comfort anymore.
In every story there will be the protagonist, antagonist,
and that one girl…..
