10.  This story has many short story elements such as setting, theme, irony, Dynamic character, flashback foreshowing, and suspense. I feel like these are very important parts of short stories and through this artifice I got to have a better understanding of each of them.  Some things that I personally found challenging in the short story unit was easily identifying elements such as symbols,theme and suspense. I tried to improve on these elements by pointing out the things that have been mentioned in the story more than once(for symbols), writing out what is the purpose of the story (for theme), and paying close attention to the rising action and the climax to identify the suspense.
