Now our topic for today is about

Reading short stories. So, first we will
define first what is short stories? A
story with a fully developed theme but
significantly shorter and less elaborate
than a novel. Short story is a short
work of fiction. Fiction is prose
writing about imagined events and
characters. Prose writing differs from
poetry in that it does not rely on
verses, meters, or rhymes. For it’s
organization and presentation. Short
story is shorter than a novel and
usually deals with only a few
characters.

is? Yes, ma’am.

a short story. What are those?

which a story takes place is called

complications begin to be
resolved.
e. Denouement- this is the final
outcome or unraveling of the
events in the story.
 3. Conflict- it is the struggle that
characters hate to contend with.
-it is any form of opposition that
faces the main character.

and their characteristics, their
physical appearance, what they say
and think etc.
