    Elements of a Short
    Story
    Learning Objectives

    At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:

     Identify and define the elements of a short story


     Recognize the importance of character, setting, plot, point of view
    and theme of the story
     Create a storyboard using a plot structure.
    What is a short story?

    A short story is one of the forms of fiction writing, and we all know that fiction
    is a series of events made from the imagination of the author. It is a prose writing
    which does not depend on verses, rhymes or meters for the organization and
    presentation of the narrative.
    Character
    It is either the person is in a work for fiction, or it is solely the characteristics
    of a person.
    Setting
    It is the time and place of which the story revolves.
     Time- tells when did the story took place.
     Place- is the geographical location of where the story happened.
    Plot
    It is the narrative sequence on how the author arranged his or her ideas. This is a
    planned, logical series of event that has its own beginning, middle, and end.

    Six essential components of the plot:


    1. Exposition
    2. Conflict
    3. Rising action
    4. Climax
    5. Falling action
    6. Denouement
     Exposition: It is the beginning of the story, in which the character and setting are
    described by the author.
     Conflict: This is the vital element of a short story, without the presence of
    conflict, there will be no plot. It is not merely a form of an argument between
    two characters, but rather it is a form of opposition that faces the main character.
    Conflicts can be:
     man against society or social conflict;
     man against circumstances or classical conflict
     and man against himself or herself or psychological conflict.
     Rising action: It is where the events of the story have become a little
    complicated. It is a series of relevant incidents that create suspense, interest, and
    tension in a narrative.
     Climax: It is the highest point of the interest and the turning point of the story. A
    good climax can make the readers wonder what will happen next, they will ask
    themselves whether the conflict will be resolved or not. A good climax makes the
    readers wonder and read more.

     Falling action: The events and conflicts of the story begin to resolve of
    themselves. The readers will have a hint of what will happen next and whether
    the conflict will be resolved or not.

     Denouement: It is the final outcome of the story. The events and conflicts are
    untangled and resolved.
