Elements of a Short Story

What is a short story? It is a work of fiction that is shorter than a novel and can usually be read in a single sitting. In most short stories one main character goes through one main conflict. A short story has the same elements of fiction that are found in the novel such as character, setting, plot, and theme. Test your knowledge of fiction elements and see what you already know or what you might learn.

Good luck!
