• Short Story - A completely formed tale that is one who will read )
shorter than a novel but longer than a fable is
referred to as a short story. Reading is often
completed in a single sitting. A short story
concentrates on happenings, no matter how
great or tiny, and elicits intense emotions from
 its readers. The storyline of a short tale is
frequently populated by a few individuals.

Thank you for reading, your participation is added to

your grades.

A short story is a fictional literary narrative that is

shorter than a novel and generally involves only a few
characters.

Why do you think short story and Novel differ?

They differ because a short story can be read by one

sitting. A short story's action or events take place in a
short amount of time. As a result, it may simply include ( chosen student
a single scenario and a few scenes and also In modern answers the question
literature, the novel is the longest form of narrative )
prose fiction. It is a lengthy literary story that discusses
fictitious people and events.

Now I’m done differenciating what are the difference

of a short story and a novel lets proceed to the key
elements of a short story.

We are aware that novels has key elements so here’s ( chosen students
my question, how many key elements and what are the answers the question
key elements of a short story? )

In short story there are 5 important key elements and

these are:
Character, setting, plot, conflict, theme

Having the 5 elements put up in the short story this

helps us maintain the story's flow and allow the action
to unfold in a logical manner that the reader can
follow.

Let’s all know the definitions of the 5 important key

elements.
