SHORT STORY WRITING

WORKSHEET

SHORT STORY

 
A short story is a fictional work of prose that is much shorter in length than a novel. A short story usually focuses on one plot, one main character (with a few additional minor characters) and one central theme.
 
Five Elements of A Short Story
 
Character: A character is a person, or sometimes even an animal, who takes part in the action of a short
story or other literary work.
 
Mood and Setting:
 
Setting: The time and location in which a story takes place is called a setting. There are several aspects of a story’s setting to consider when examining how the story contributes to the story:
 
(a) Place- Geographical location; where the action of the story is taking place?
(b) Time – When is the story taking place?( Historical period, time of day, year etc)
(c) Weather Conditions- Is it rainy, sunny, stormy etc?
(d) Social Conditions- What is the daily life of characters like?
 
Mood or Atmosphere: What mood is created? Is it bright and cheerful or tense, dark and frightening? Is there a sense of pathos?
 
Plot: A plot is a series of events and character actions that relate to the central conflict.
 
Conflict: The conflict is a struggle between two people or things in a short story. The main character is usually on one side of the central conflict. On the other side, the main character may struggle against another important character, against the forces of nature, against society, or even against something inside him or her (feelings, emotions, illness).
 
Theme: The theme is the central idea or belief in a short story.
 
Points to Remember
 
1. Have a clear theme. What is the story about? It is the underlying message or statement behind the words. Get this right and your story will have more resonance in the minds of your readers.
2. An effective short story covers a very short time span. It may be one single event that proves pivotal in the life of the character, and that event will illustrate the theme.
 
3. Don't have too many characters. Each new character will bring a new dimension to the story, and for an effective short story too many diverse dimensions (or directions) will dilute the theme. Have only enough characters to effectively illustrate the theme. Make every word count. There is no room for unnecessary expansion in a short story.
 
5. Focus. The best stories are the ones that follow a narrow subject line. What is the point of your story? Its point is its theme. It's tempting to digress, but in a 'short' you have to follow the straight and narrow otherwise you end up with either a novel beginning or a hodgepodge of ideas that add up to nothing.
 
SAMPLE
 
A Hole in the Fence
 
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
 
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
 
Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The day passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.”
 
The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
 
Friends and loved ones is a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Water your relationships with kindness… and they will grow. So be careful little lips what you say! And you won't chase friendships away.
 
PRACTICE QUESTION
 
a) Complete the story given below in about 150-200 words:
 
You have made a very important discovery- one that will make you famous throughout the world. Write a story in which you tell about your discovery and how you made it. Be sure to include details about the setting and any characters in the story.
