C. Developing and Elements of a short story

deepening Now, that you have the basic concepts and
understanding terms related to the elements of a short story,
start with defining what a short story is.

A short story is a made-up story that is not as

long as a whole book, like a novel. Short
stories are usually between five and sixty
pages or more depending on the formatting,
so you can read them in one sitting. They
often focus on just one thing that happens,
and they usually have only one or two
characters. It consists of different elements
generally as: Characters, Plot, Conflict,
Setting, and Theme.

Character refers to the people, animals, or

creatures in a story. They are the individuals
who drive the action of the story and with
whom readers identify. Characters have
different personalities, traits, and roles within
the narrative. They can be protagonists (main
characters), antagonists (opposing characters),
or supporting characters who help move the
story along.

Depending on how you see it, a character can

be classified as either round or flat, dynamic
or static, a protagonist or an antagonist. For a
short story, well-rounded and dynamic
4
characters will be your strength. The easiest
way to write interesting characters is to make
sure that they have a flaw. Always keep in
mind that in any story, perfect characters fall
flat.

Setting encompasses the time and place in

which a story unfolds. It includes details
about the environment, geography, historical
period, and cultural context that provide the
backdrop for the events of the narrative. The
setting helps to establish the mood or
atmosphere of the story and can influence the
actions and experiences of the characters.

The plot refers to the sequence of events that

make up the storyline of a narrative. It
includes the exposition (introduction of
characters and setting), rising action (events
leading to the main conflict), climax (highest
point of tension or turning point), falling
action (events following the climax), and
resolution (outcome or conclusion). The plot
drives the story forward and keeps readers
engaged as they follow the characters'
journey.

For Bachchhav (2023), writers use the plot to

map out their story before beginning their
writing process. For fiction writing, this
serves as a creative outline. So, an
understanding of the plot is crucial to craft a
compelling narrative and make it impactful.
The sequence of events in a plot is tied to the
central conflict in a story. The plot develops
as the protagonist struggles with their given
problem, finds a solution, and eventually
accepts the results.
Bachchhav (2023) identified Six succinct
stages of a plot
1. Exposition: An introduction of characters,
setting, and conflict, providing all the
necessary background information.

2. Inciting incident: The incident that leads

the main character to conflict and begins the
plot.
3. Rising action: The conflict develops and
takes on newer, more complicated incidents,
leading to the climax.
4. Climax: The conflict reaches a peak, which
then leads to a change in the course of events,
giving the reader a new understanding of the

5
 story either through an event or an insight.
5. Falling action: The conflict gets resolved
and the action slows down.
6. Resolution: The conflict ends, leaving the
reader fulfilled.

Conflict is the central struggle or problem

that propels the plot forward and creates
tension in the story. It can be internal (a
character's inner struggle) or external (a
conflict between characters or with an outside
force). Common types of conflict include
person vs. person, person vs. self, person vs.
society, and person vs. nature. Resolving the
conflict is often essential to the development
of characters and the resolution of the story.

Theme is the underlying message, lesson, or

moral that the author conveys through the
story. It reflects the deeper meaning or
purpose behind the events and characters'
experiences. Themes can explore universal
concepts such as love, friendship, courage,
justice, or betrayal. They provide insight into
human nature and the world around us,
prompting readers to reflect on their own
lives and values. Themes may be explicit or
implicit and can vary based on interpretation.

D. Developing Directions: Arrange the pool of words to the

Mastery columns where they belong.
