(english) what makes a great story(in-depth explanation )

If you're talking about a narrative story - then a story needs a lot of components.

1. It needs a strong start aka sizzling start

2.  With the basics, you'll need characters, if it is a short story, mainly only 3-4 characters. There should be a protagonist (the good guy, hero) and an antagonist (the bad guy, the people that try to stop the good guy).

Most good stories should have a suspenseful scene, (or even more than one) to help keep the reader interested.

Try use descriptive adjectives and put some emotion into the story to impact the reader more.

Hope this helps - of course there's alot. But I can only think of these for now.

- Good luck xx

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
