  a short story is a brief, fictional story that can usually be read in one or two sittings.  It typically follows only one or two characters and focuses on one plot problem that is resolved by the end of the story.  The setting of a short story is very focused. It will only take place in one or two locations.  The purpose of a short story is to give the reader a glimpse of a few characters’ lives as they confront a problem. Short Story

  A novel, on the other hand, is a long work of fiction in which a character typically changes or grows in several ways. There are often more than one plot problem in a novel, and sometimes even plot twists and surprises. There is also often more than one important character.  In a novel, we learn a lot about many places in a story, characters’ backgrounds, and what happened before the story begins. The difference between a short story and a novel, then, is that a short story shows a slice of life, whereas a novel or book will give a longer, deeper look. Short stories differ from longer fiction in the amount of detail they offer to readers. A good reader will want to examine how a short story includes the most essential details (the story elements), but leaves many of the other details to our imagination. Novel

  When you shared your memory with your partner, you spoke using “I.” For example, “I remember the taste of my grandma’s chili.” When your partner shared your memory with the class, she/he spoke using the third person. For example, “Jason remembered the taste of his grandma’s chili.” Just like when we retold our stories, short stories also contain a point of view.  In a story told from the first-person point of view, the narrator tells the story and is a character in the story.  In a story told from the third-person point of view, the narrator tells the story from someone else’s viewpoint and is usually not a character in the story.
