D. ABSTRACTION
(Balog, Marjory)

In understanding a short story, we have elements

that will guide us to make it comprehensive and
precise. We will watch a video, and you may jot
down notes about the facts presented in the video.
And after watching, you will describe and
explain the five essential elements of a short
story.
Are you now ready?
(Teacher plays the video)

 The setting of a short story is the time and place

in which it happens. Authors often use
descriptions of landscape, scenery, buildings,
