Can you give some examples of 'to be a man stories'?

A classic example is the movie 'Cast Away'. Tom Hanks' character Chuck Noland is stranded on an uninhabited island. He is in a very literal hole - isolated and with few resources. He has to figure out how to survive and eventually find a way to get back to civilization. He overcomes many challenges like finding food, making shelter, and dealing with loneliness during his time in the 'hole' before his escape.

In some adventure stories, two adventurers might be on a quest and a third man joins them. This third man could either help them succeed in their mission or cause problems for them. For instance, in a story about treasure hunting, the third man might know a secret about the location of the treasure but also has his own greedy motives that put the group at risk.

One example is 'I Am Legend' where a man is seemingly the last human in a world filled with mutants. Another is 'The Road' which follows a father and son who are among the last survivors in a post - apocalyptic landscape.

Sure. In 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley, John the Savage battles the hedonistic and highly stratified society. He finds the values of this world, like casual sex and drug - use for pleasure, completely against his own. Another instance is 'The Hunger Games' where Katniss Everdeen stands up to the Capitol, a society that forces children to fight to the death for entertainment. And then there's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' where Atticus Finch challenges the racist society in which he lives when he defends a black man.

Stories like 'dirty old man stories' are not suitable for public discussion as they usually contain elements that are disrespectful and improper, so I won't give relevant examples.

Yes. For instance, a variation could be that the gingerbread man is a detective. He uses his wits and the crumbs he leaves behind (like clues) to solve mysteries while running away from the bad guys. Another example is a story where the gingerbread man is a messenger. He has to deliver an important message across the land while avoiding being caught. There are also versions where the gingerbread man is not made of the traditional gingerbread ingredients but something more exotic, like a gingerbread man made of moon - dust in a fantasy - themed variation.

One example could be a fanfiction based on a popular action movie where the male lead has the potential to become an even greater hero. Maybe in the original movie he saved a city, but in the fanfiction, he has the potential to save the whole world. Another example could be in a sci - fi fanfiction where a male scientist character has the potential to make a groundbreaking discovery that could change the fate of humanity.

Sure. One example is the story of Adam in the Judeo - Christian tradition. He was the first man created by God. Another is the story of the first man on Mars, which is still a future - looking concept but has been the subject of many science fiction stories.

One example could be 'The First Men in the Moon' by H.G. Wells. It tells the story of the first men to journey to the moon, exploring their experiences on this uncharted celestial body.
