4. A Short Story is more or less a compact novel. It contains the same basic
elements of a novel, but it is a lot shorter in length. A short story contains
characters, a plot or a story line, a setting, dialogue, and a point of view
from which the story is told. However, the biggest difference in writing a
short story is that it can only contain one main action. The main character
can only go through one crisis or major change in his or her life. Every
word in a shot story must tell the reader something else; there is no room
for wasted words or long, drawn out descriptions.
