Definition of Short Story
Colibaba
(2010: 222) A short story is a narrative fiction in prose (story) that is
short? One may proceed either inductively or deductively. Keegan (2003)
defines short story
as a narrative,
rarely over 10,000
words or below 500
words, more commonly
1,500-5, 00 words-a
single-sitting read, but with enough time and weight to move the
reader.
Short story,
according to Hornby (1987:1187)
is a story, usually about imaginary characters and events that is short
enough to be read from beginning to end
without stopping. short story is a short work of fiction that tend to be less
complex than novel. Usually, a short story will focus on only one
incident, has a single plot, a single setting, a limited number of
characters, and covers a short period of time.
Abrams, (1970:158) as a narrative that can be read at
one sitting of from one-half hour to two hours, and that is limited to „a
certain unique or single effect,‟ to which every detail is subordinate”, seems
to be the most suitable one to use in
public schools
Lucas
(1980: 20) The
short story is
probably the most pleasurable
of the literary genres for young
people. A good
story can be understood
and appreciated at
many different levels on
the other hand can
provide as much
intellectual stimulation as the
other genres but it is
much easier to
appreciate. It has a
beginning and an
end, the satisfying
familiarity of narrative and
is a complete
experience in itself.
Its brevity and story
line hold the
interest of young readers
without taxing their
patience
