I think this quote means that a story must be interesting enough to even be seen or read.
The quote also explains the book should be unusual just as we are because the same thing might not have happened but something weird and unusual has happened in our life and the story we are read should remind us and amuse usof this.

this quote means that in any genre of a book somebody is going through something and the reader can maybe not understand unless they were goin 2 da same problem.A book that proves this point is THE ETERNAL ONES(what happens if love never dies)BY:KRISTEN MILLER.!
I need for everyone that has made a comment to re-read the quote and try to interpret it again. You guys are a little off course.
Also when you give me an example of a book that proves your point you have to explain why.

I think this quote means that a story is supposed to be out of the ordaniry . It should be able to cetch the readers attention but at the same time the reader must to be able to relate to the story in a way dont matter what age or gender.

This quote means that like in a story or poem the author describes somethingthat other people don't understand.A example of this is petty crimes by Gary Soto. Some people can relate to thisbook but others cant.

this quote means that someone has read must have something unusal in it to relat to that an ordinary experience in an average man or woman. the text that they are reading should excite them and they should be able to feel that unusal event occuring. an example of a book that i have read would be 'The hunt for the seventh" by Christine Morton-Shaw.this story would be an example because one the characters in the story had went through a very weird experience that doesnt happen to any average human being everyday. this book made me feel like i was there and i would have never wanted to live their experience in my life.
sorry

This quote means that you should read a ook and that book should excite you. you should be able to connect your self to the story. An example of a short story is La Guera from the book Petty Crimes by Gary Soto. i was able to connect to that story.
Kristina Wells 271
A story must be a story that a man or a woman can relate to. I think this quote means when someone writes a story a man and a woman has be able to relate to it with another story or themselves, just like in Gary Soto's book "Taking Sides" when Lincoln has to make a hard decision and many people in real life have to make hard decisions all the time.

This quote means that a story has to be realictic and something that you never found in a book or poem.for example a tree grow in brooklyn by Betty Smith mve for them was hard
This quote means that a story must not be base on one thing it should have many ideas and u should know what u already know to create a story.A book that tells what the quote is about are Haunted Woods.
I think that this quote means that what ever the genra of books you read it isn't hard to understand.If not that means you had experienced it before.That a book proves any point.

To me the said that in a story it has to have maybe more than one person or characteristic so the story can be more interesting to catch the readers eye so they would want to read more of the story. So that when they read they can feel or experience what the writer is saying and to get the vibes that the writer is sending. The story cannot be boring like I said you have to be able to feel the story get what they are saying not just read it for reading sake.
I think this quote means that in order for a story to be read or told it must be special,unique ,extraordinarily or different in some manner(s). If not it isn't going to be convinced or called a story at all.

This quote means that in every story or type of genre there must be something strange going on or happening to the characters that that cant relate to an average person. A book that proves this point is The Sword in The Grotto.

A story has to be not typical enough to show its telling.It must have something more unusual to relate the the regular experience of every average man and woman
The quote means A book should have a meaning to it so the average man and woman could relate to it and it got to be realistic
clifford philias 272
I think that this quote means that a story must be exceptional or so good it makes the reader understand what the book is trying to say and at the same time to show different experence's to things not just normal things like an experience of an man or a woman. One book that proves this point is a book called "The majic school bus". This book proves this point because it is an exceptional book that is informative and jusifies it's tellings. It also shows unusual experiences that happens to an average person, like a class turning into water, shrinking to the size of atoms and riding in a majical school bus.
Tai Smith Class:271
The quote means that every person has their own point of view of a story , whether its if it relates to you and yo have a connection with it, or it just catches your attention in a way. All books don't have the same connection with everybody because every one is not the same. A book that proves this point is The Skin Im In by Sharon G. Flake.
-Aliyah Patterson 271
This quote means if you are write a non-fiction you can write about an exciting moment in your life. a book that proves this point is taking sides by gary soto.
A story must have details and events that not all story have and for this story to be interesting it must have thing that are out of what you expect the story to talk about.I think that this quote means that all good and popular stories must be out of the extraordinary and it must shows really how the characters are acting and what they are doing so that the reading must feel that they are in the book and that it's so good that the reading stick into it. It's like "Anne of green gables" it makes you want to be with the characters and live what they are living.

this quote means that a story must be qualified yo be a good story to sell.and some stories are unusual.a story that proves this point is goose bumbs.
ezekiel bovell 271
this quote means that no matter what book your reading there is someone that goes through something that u would only understand if you went through it your self like the winner by george sealy.
This quote means a story must be interesting enough to read,even if it's a little different from the average man/woman.The book Shawn used for his meaning is a perfect example of true,interesting,and unusual from the average man/woman.

This quote reminds me of the book Bunnicula. I think this because Bunnicula is about a character that has some trouble and dosen't know what is happening and everyone else does not understand.

"A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling; it must have something more unusual to relate than the ordinary experience of every average man and woman." This quote means that beach story has a meaning behind it but it not so easy to understand. For exampel Gary Soto's poem , The Orange. This poem was about a girl and a boy taking a walk on a winter day. They went to the pharmarcy. The girl picked out a 10 cent chocolate. When the boy had to pay he couldnt because he only had 5 cents so he gave the 5 cents and the orange to pay for the chocolate. Some People didnt get this because you had to really think and read the poem over and over to get what Gary Was Saying. So each story has a meaning to it you just have to think about it.
Paula Dorismond 271
This quote means that a book always has to be interesting. I t has to be somewhat extraordinarily. A book that proves this is sisters grimm.

In my own words, this quote means that a story is only worth telling if it has something unusual to relate to the average person and it must have a meaning. It is true that a story must have something special to relate to its reader, but a good story does not have to look on extraordinary experiences. The reader should be able to feel if happening. A book that proves this point is "My Side of the Mountain", by Jean Craighead George. This story would be an example, because this story is about a boy who who lived by himself in the mountain. He was responsible to take care of himself and he did all he can to survive. He has a lot of experiences that was very unusual.
~Jade Compton 271
It means when we tell a story, it has to be unusual, special, unique,or different in some way or else it's not a story at all. A story that proves this point is Harry porter novel by J.K Rowling.
-Kingsley Samuel 270
If I would put this quote in my own words I would have say: A story must be good and factual so it can prove what it's trying to say;it must have something you never seen or never heard before to prove the unique experience of every man and woman. I read a book about what this quote is saying and it is true.
Megane A. Nacier 272
In my Own Words.......
A story must be outstanding to justify what it is saying and it must have something pericular to relate to rather to relate to then a regular experience of every average man and woman. I think that this quote means that a story whether its non-fiction, fiction , poetry it has to be amazing so that it can justify what it is saying. One example of a book that proves this book is Drama high . - Elan McGinty 271
This qoute means if u writing a book it has to to show a undrerstaing so the reader can follow threw of whT someone is saying. A book that proves this point is "Because of Winn Dixie" by Kate Di. This book goes straight to the point and make it easy for u to follow up.
