Points for Discussion
● Short story falls under the first general category of literature – fiction.
● Short stories are characterized by a limited number of characters, a restricted setting, and a narrow range of action. Hence, it can be read in a single sitting.
● Short stories share common elements as work of fiction: Plot, Setting, Character, Characterization, Conflict, Point of View (POV) and other narrative techniques.
● To analyze a literary text in structural contexts, one looks into the elements found in the text itself.
● To analyze a story, the structuralist focuses on literary elements that make up a short story rather than the facts about the author’s life or the historical milieu in which it was written.
● It must be pointed out that though each part may be identified individually, these literary elements are joined together to unify the writing and to produce a blend that is unique to that short
story or any literary piece (Shaffer, C. 2000).
Lesson Activity
As the students fully grasp the characteristics and qualifications of a short story, they are now prepared to accomplish the next activity through the corresponding worksheet, exploring
further how the literary elements are implemented in the short story and how these reveal the intended message of the text.
