Write A Short Story

Assignment For Friday, May 27, 2011: Write a short story.

1.  Write a 3-page short story using either a first-person or a third-person narrator.
2.  All the elements of your story from the setting to the characters' actions, speech, and thought must turn on the main conflict.  For example, if one of your characters feel stuck emotionally in making a decision because she's going to hurt someone and doesn't want to hurt those dear to her, you might write a scene showing her anguish by placing her in a room or any location that reflects suffering.  
3.  First, select a conflict, consider each person's stake in that conflict, consider the kind of resolution that you'd like to see, one that you might suggest to a friend if she was involved in such a conflict.
