    The idea is for the belief to be com­mu­ni­cated through the story: upon watch­ing, audi­ences will infer the belief/value/position — pre­cisely by your choices in narration/composition (focus, details, language/description, include/exclude, etc).
    The cau­tion­ary point “not to state the belief” reminds that it shouldn’t be a the­sis state­ment like in an essay; e.g. “my sis­ter thinks it’s ani­mal cru­elty; here’s why she became veg­e­tar­ian” (genre = expo­si­tion, descrip­tion, argu­ment; not story).

    You name a par­tic­u­lar approach/technique of nar­ra­tion, “wider per­spec­tive toward the end,” that is exactly what I tried get­ting every­one thinking/talking about in the last part of class. Keep­ing in mind the con­trast of story to essay (and not con­clud­ing with an argu­ment), this sounds like a very audience-focused deci­sion — and that rhetor­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tion can def­i­nitely help guide your deci­sions as you com­pose and edit!
