This week we studied about what is a short story and I
would like to share with you a little of what I learned.
Short stories use the imagination to describe characters or short events that can be read quickly without stopping. These stories also mix real things and places to support the story or make it look more realistic.
It is important to remember that there are things that
you need to include:
A plot: A plot is a series of events that form the story, give it
the structure and sequence.
A point of view: It is the angle to tell the story, that is, in which
person the story is being told (1st, 2nd, or 3rd person).
A conflict: situations or problems that characters face throughout
the plot of the story.
A clear structure: It is necessary that there is a beginning, middle and end
of the story so that the course of the events is understood, and the reader has
clarity of the message or purpose of the story.
A climax: It is usually the twist that the story has, a point of
return or resolution.

There are two types of short stories:
Realistic Stories: This type of story reflects the everyday in the life of
ordinary people, that is, real-life events in fictional characters, emotions
such as: falling in love, divorce, marriage, etc. They also include real places
and situations that can happen to the reader.

Genre Stories: These types of stories have a category, for example: Science
fiction, suspense, horror, magical realism, romance etc. These stories can
refer to events of the past, present or future. In this type of stories, places
and characters that do not exist are included.
Genre stories give the reader an escape from reality.
Both types have the purpose of following a line, they
follow a rule creating a specific effect such as horror, suspense, emotion,
etc.
The activity of the week was very entertaining because we
talked about a book we had read, we recorded a video with the description of
the book, the genre of the book and we shared it so that our classmates could
see it and give their opinion.
