UNDERSTANDING THE SHORT STORY

A short story is a fictional narrative in prose that can be read in one sitting. It is also an imaginative
re-creation and reconstruction of life on two levels- the world of objective reality made up of
human actions and experiences, and the world of subjective reality dealing with human
apprehension and comprehension.

LIFE AND WORKS OF JOSE GARCIA VILLA

August 5, 1908 in Manila.
