long and short works of fiction have different
characteristics beyond simply the length of the
work. think of a short story that you like and a
longer work (novel or novella) that you like. you
can use the story and novella from this unit if no
other works come to mind quickly.
discuss the elements of each work that made it
enjoyable to read. what relationship did the form
of the work (short story, novella, or novel) have in
making it an enjoyable read? what elements of
fiction were strongest in the work, and how did
they impact your enjoyment of the story?
compare the two works you chose. how are they
representative of short fiction versus longer forms
of fiction?
