What Is a Short Story?

A short story is a work of short, narrative prose that is usually centered around one single
event. It is limited in scope and has an introduction, body and conclusion. Although a short
story has much in common with a novel, it is written with much greater precision. Any time
you are asked to write an essay that is based on a piece of fiction, the following guide and
questions may help you.

Characterization

Characterization deals with how the characters in the story are described. In short stories
there are usually fewer characters compared to a novel. They usually focus on one central
character or protagonist. Ask yourself the following:

 Who is the main character?


 Who or what is the antagonist?
 Are the main character and other characters described through dialogue – by the
way they speak (dialect or slang for instance)?
 Has the author described the characters by physical appearance, thoughts and
feelings, and interaction (the way they act towards others)?
 Are they static characters who do not change?
 Are they dynamic characters who change?
 What type of characters are they? What qualities stand out? Are they stereotypes?
 Are the characters believable?
 Do the characters symbolize something?

Setting

Setting is a description of where and when the story takes place. In a short story there are
fewer settings compared to a novel. The time is more limited. Ask yourself the following
questions:

 How is the setting created? Consider geography, weather, time of day, social
conditions, etc.
 What role does setting play in the story? Is it an important part of the plot or theme?
Or is it just a backdrop against which the action takes place?
 Does the setting change? If so, how?

Plot

The plot is the main sequence of events that make up the story. In short stories the plot is
usually centered around one experience or significant moment. Consider the following
questions:

 What is the most important event?


 How is the plot structured? Is it linear, chronological or does it move around?
 Is the plot believable?
Five types of Plot

Exposition

Exposition is the beginning of the story and prepares the way for upcoming events to
unfold.

Rising Action

It is that point where the main problem or conflict is revealed.

Climax

The climax is the turning point in the story, often centered around the protagonist’s
most difficult challenge or their bleakest moment.

Falling Action

It is the point that occurs immediately after the climax and reveals the details of the
consequences good or bad, that the main characters must deal with after the turning
point of events. It sets the stage for the resolution.

Resolution

Resolution is the part where the outcome of the event and the fate of the protagonist
and antagonists are revealed.

Theme

The theme is built on a topic, such as death, hope, the American dream, etc. and how the
topic affects the human condition, society, or life. As a reader, focus on what the story is
revealing about the topic. The theme should be expressed as a statement, a general
observation about human nature.

Point of View

The narrator is the person telling the story. Consider this question: Are the narrator and the
main character the same? By point of view we mean from whose eyes the story is being told.
Short stories tend to be told through one character’s point of view. The following are
important questions to consider:

 Who is the narrator or speaker in the story?


 Does the author speak through the main character?
 Is the story written in the first person “I” point of view?
 Is the story written in a detached third person “he/she” point of view?
 Is there an “all-knowing” third person who can reveal what all the characters are
thinking and doing at all times and in all places?
 Is the narrator trustworthy?

d. Generalization

The teacher will briefly review the topic and explain the importance of the elements of
short story.
e. Application

Divide the class into three groups. Each group should find short stories and role playing
in the chosen story. Ask student to share some morals that they get in their chosen short
story.
