4. Abstraction “Elements of Short Story”
(25 minutes) Learning Competency: Students will be able to identify and analyze the key elements of a short story, including characters, setting, plot, conflict, and theme. A short story is a brief fictional narrative. It is not more than 10,000 words in length and tends to be less complex than novels. It focuses on only one incident, has a single plot, a single setting, and a limited number of characters that can be read in one sitting.
A short story is composed of distinct elements that are
related to each other and form a unified whole. Here are the elements of a short story:
1. Characters Definition: Characters are the people, animals, or imaginary beings who are involved in the story. The story often focuses on the actions, thoughts, and development of these characters. Characters can be: Protagonist: The main character who faces a challenge or goes on a journey.
Antagonist: The character or force that opposes
the protagonist.
Example: In the story of "The Three Little Pigs," the
three pigs are the main characters, while the big bad wolf is the antagonist who tries to destroy their houses. The story shows how each pig reacts to the wolf, helping readers learn about the characters' personalities.
2. Setting Definition: The setting is where and when the story takes place. It includes details about the place where the characters live and the events that happen. The setting can create the mood of the story. Example: In "Cinderella," the setting includes her small house where she lives with her stepmother and stepsisters, as well as the grand castle where the royal ball takes place. The setting changes from a sad, lonely house to a magical, happy castle, which affects how readers feel about the story.
3. Plot Definition: The plot is the sequence of events that happen in the story. It includes the beginning, middle, and end. The plot shows how characters face problems and how they try to solve them. Example: In "Little Red Riding Hood," the plot includes: 1. Red Riding Hood is asked by her mother to visit her grandmother. 2. On her way, she meets a wolf who tricks her into taking a longer path. 3. The wolf reaches the grandmother’s house first, disguises himself, and tries to eat Red Riding Hood. 4. Finally, a woodsman saves Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.
4. Conflict Definition: The conflict is the main problem or challenge that the characters face. It can be a struggle between characters or within a character’s mind. Example: In "Jack and the Beanstalk," the conflict is that Jack’s family is very poor and needs food. Jack decides to climb the giant beanstalk to find treasures to help his family, but he faces the danger of being caught by a giant.
5. Theme Definition: The theme is the main message, lesson, or moral of the story. It’s what the author wants the readers to learn or think about after reading the story. Themes can be simple, like the importance of kindness, or more complex, like the struggle between good and evil. Example: In "The Tortoise and the Hare," the theme is "slow and steady wins the race." The story teaches readers that being persistent and patient can be more valuable than being quick and overconfident.
Lesson Summary A short story is a brief fictional narrative focused on one incident, with a single plot, setting, and limited characters.
