	Frame tale
		A frame tale or story within a story is a narrative technique whereby a main story is composed, at least in part, for the purpose of organizing a set of shorter stories.
		The frame tale acts as a convenient conceit for the organization of a set of smaller narratives which are either of the devising of the author, or taken from a previous stock of popular tales slightly altered by the author for the purpose of the longer narrative.
		Sometimes a story within the main narrative can be used to sum up or encapsulate some aspect of the framing story, in which case it is referred to in literary criticism by the French term mise en abyme.

		The distance (within the narration) between ‘voice’ and ‘hearer’ is reflected in that (within the story) between the ‘I’ who ‘never went near the place during sessions’ and the man whom we imagine is there suffering.
		The silence within the story is at the expense of the silence within the narration.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Books: Story within a story
		The story swells as footnotes begin to take over the page; these are commentary on Orr's own life, raised by happenings in Nick Bowen's world, but all visions of the past.
		Orr is obsessed with the story of a famous French author who, when life imitated art once too often, quit writing because he was convinced words could truly kill, yet he seems to miss the real-world fact that his wife, Grace, is obviously coming unglued.
		In the end, Auster does keep his agenda from overpowering the story itself, and while it's not clear exactly what he might be saying about the philosophical responsibility of fiction, the book does offer an interesting exploration of the way writers--or at least writers in Auster's world--think about this stuff.

		When it comes to law school, many would suggest that simple bar passage rates are the measure by which we should judge legal education.
		Important as these achievements are, however, the real story lies elsewhere; namely, not only did the 2006 class achieve the highest bar passage rate, but the class of 2006 had a first-year attrition rate of only 6%.
		Hence, the real story behind the story of the Law Center’s 2006 Bar Exam success is the positive transformation of the Law Center’s culture that these achievements reflect.

	Identifying Spoken Speech in a Children's Story
		It is worth noting that even though the content of these stories are child-oriented, the structure of the stories can nevertheless be quite complex.
		Hence ESPER also takes into consideration such structures as nested quoted-speech; this can occur when a character in a story is narrating a story of his or her own, with its own set of characters and quoted speech, essentially creating a story within a story.
		Although it may be reasonable to synthesize such labels using a special voice to make the story more interesting, we must nevertheless distinguish them from actual pieces of speech so as not to mistakenly assign any random character's voice, which would produce confusion for the story listener.

	CNN.com - Blair: I will resign within a year - Sep 7, 2006
		The turmoil comes less than three weeks before members of the Labour Party are scheduled to meet for their annual conference, raising the specter of infighting overshadowing the proceedings.
		Blair's popularity has been sapped by disagreements within his party over domestic reforms, and, most recently, what some Labour MPs criticized as a hands-off approach during the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
		But the overriding issue has been his steadfast support for the war in Iraq and his close association with U.S. President George W. Bush, both of which are unpopular among the British public in general and his own party in particular.

		At first I thought his story was of hard work leading to success, of taking a risk to pursue a passion for pottery.
		Growing up as he did at the time he did, it seemed almost unimaginable to me that he would have remembered this child his whole life, remembered the wrong that had been done to her and cared enough to try to set it right if he could.
		I'd struggled with how to tell the story, how to show the importance of Sid remembering Mildred without further hurting any remaining family members, and how to include his generosity toward others without becoming maudlin.

		The idea of the story within a story is one of the nice touches in THE NEVERENDING STORY.
		Within the world of Fantasia, a young hero (Noah Hathaway) is assigned to complete a hazardous quest, sneak past the dreaded portals of some stone amazons, and reach the Ivory Tower, where he will receive further instructions from the empress.
		But THE NEVERENDING STORY is about the unfolding of a story, and so the framing device of the kid hidden in his school attic, breathlessly turning the pages, is interesting.
