UNIT 4 - Writing (Short Stories)

All short stories have the following structure:

BEGINNING

  - Exposition (the explaining part)

  - What is the situation?

  - Who are our key characters?

MIDDLE

  - Conflict

    * man v.s. man [interpersonal]

    * man v.s. nature [external]

    * man v.s. himself [internal]

    * man v.s. technology [external]

END

  - Is there a surprise? A twist? 

WRITING A SHORT STORY (notes):

>> If you want a surprise ending, start an outline with your ending first! Where do you want your story to go? What will the surprise be? How will you get your audience there?


>> Consider your exposition. Great stories always have little seeds planted that prepare your audience as to where you are going. You don't spoil your ending, but you give subtle hints (foreshadowing) to your purpose or theme.


>> The best tip? SHOW DON'T TELL (Paint pictures with words instead of telling the audience what they should be thinking! Let the audience feel like they found the truth on their own!)


>> Dialogue is what your characters say. Do your characters have a unique voice? Can you make a character sound smart? Or irritating? Or a bully? Or brave?


>> Description is alsoused to paint pictures with words. Set the tone (atmosphere) by using choice words, carefully chosen to situate your story in a particular time and place.
