Story within a story

Literary device

"Metastory" redirects here. Not to be confused with metaplot.

A story within a story, also referred to as an embedded narrative, is a literary device in which a character within a story becomes the narrator of a second story (within the first one).^[1] Multiple layers of stories within stories are sometimes called nested stories. A play may have a brief play within it, such as in Shakespeare's play Hamlet; a film may show the characters watching a short film; or a novel may contain a short story within the novel. A story within a story can be used in all types of narration including poems, and songs.

Kopice. A Story of Beauty Lost

Introduction

Community custodian of historic sites in Kopice
Kopice. A Story of Beauty Lost is a publication focusing on a small village in Silesia, near the town of Grodków, in Opole Voivodeship (60 km from Wrocław and 30 km from Opole). It is a compilation of materials which provides an overview of both the growth and the decline of Kopice (German: Koppitz). At one point in its history, the village was one of the major beekeeping centres both in the region and nationwide, a development in which the leading figure was Father Jan Dzierżon, Ph.D. – the Silesian “lord of the bees”.

What Are the Key Elements of a Story?

There are five key elements to every story: plot, setting, characters, point of view, and conflict. Whether your students realize it or not, they naturally include all these elements when they’re telling a story to their families or their best fr. It’s what creates the story’s flow, builds anticipation, and excites their listeners.

We can all be great storytellers. It’s in our nature to enjoy a good story and feel compelled to share our own. But when students sit down at their keyboards, or start to put pen to paper, it’s easy to freeze up. Why is writing something down so much harder than chatting up a friend?

Good news — it doesn’t have to be! Encourage your students to take some time before you start writing to figure out their five key story elements. Need some help and direction? Read on for all the details they need to brainstorm the parts of their stories. With this newfound clarity, it’s easy to write a tale their whole class will love. Let’s get started!
