This week we're reading short stories and analyzing them for plot, setting, characterization and theme. Odds are you have read short stories before and have learned about the elements of short stories listed above. Consider how what you're learning this week is different from what you've learned about short stories in the past.
Think of a short story (less than 15 or so pages) that you read before and really enjoyed. What makes this story stand out in your memory? Choose one of the elements of short story above and describe how that element enhanced the story and makes it memorable for you.
Write two paragraphs for this post: the first should be about a memorable story from your past experiences (not one of the stories we're reading in class this week) and one of the elements of short stories that makes it memorable. The second paragraph should be about what you've learned about stories this week in contrast with past assignments on short story.
Due Friday, October 7.
