PARTS OF A SHORT STORY

PARTS OF A SHORT STORY

PARTS OF A SHORT STORY

The people in the story who carry out the actions. CHARACTER The people in the story who carry out the actions. Flat - Usually minor characters who do not undergo any kind of change or growth. Not much personality. One dimensional (simple). Round – Major characters who encounter conflict and are changed by it. The character has many traits that make up a complex character. Static – Characters who do not change throughout the novel and remain the same in the end as he or she was in the beginning. Dynamic – When a character goes through an important change in the story and is not the same as they were in the beginning. The change can be in understanding, beliefs, values, etc.

CHARACTER Major – a character that is central to the development and resolution of the story's conflict. A main character. Minor – supporting characters who help move the story along, but they are not the main focus of the conflicts.

CHARACTER Protagonist – the leading character, or a major character, who the story revolves around (usually the hero of the story) Antagonist – Opposite protagonist, they are against the protagonist and cause conflict (villain)

THEME The theme is the central idea or message behind the story. It usually provides insight on life or people in general. The theme can be directly stated or it can be implied by the events and actions in the story.

THEME If the theme is not directly stated, ask yourself what the topic of the short story is. What is the author suggesting or saying about that topic?

SETTING Where does the story take place? What is the time period? The setting can set the entire mood for a story Example Describing a dark, gloomy house or a shadowy forest can suggest something suspenseful may occur, setting the tone as well as giving details about the location. Candles flickering can either hint at romance or suggest a religious scene; adding other details will help clarify their significance.

POINT OF VIEW Who is telling the story Omniscient – the author tells the story and knows everything (thoughts, feelings, etc.) Third Person – uses “he/she” but does not know everything, such as thoughts. First Person – told from the viewpoint of a character and uses “I”.

SOCIO-CULTURAL CONTEXT the intersection of the social and cultural events of a certain time period that inform various phenomena such as art and political dealings In order for us to truly access the meaning of this story we have to know more about where it is set and the implications of this setting. Author Time Period published/set Music/clothes/language/dialect

RULES OF NOTICE Annotations Title/subtitle: What observations/inferences can we make? First and Last Sentences of the story…. What type of lead is this? What is the tone of the story? Atmosphere? How does this story end? Powerful/ reflective note? Cliffhanger? Does the end circle back and make reference to the beginning? Repetitions: This is a box where you fill in repetitions that you have noticed in your annotations. This could be images, words, concepts

RULES OF NOTICE Annotations Metaphors and Similes: Chronicle these throughout the annotations. Anytime you notice a metaphor or simile. Very much like poetry. Typography: Capitalization, story structures, formatting Spacing and Line Breaks: Paragraph Shifts, where do the turns occur? Threats, Warnings, and Promises: From characters, foreshadowing (these are often essential to the climax of the story and to characterization) Details Given at Climax Erratic Behaviour/ Unusual Moments
