DeleteSo we have to answer what we think is a GREAT short story ?
ReplyDeleteI think what makes a great short story is the suspense, and it also depends on the character. Suspense, the Romanticism, and the intense problems in the story.
ReplyDeleteTrue,for example, the few moments of suspense before Mrs. White opened the door.
DeleteWhen she was going to open the door, I was yelling at her to hurry up because I wanted to see what her husband looked like.
DeleteYup, I agree. Suspense makes it good.
DeleteI agree with stephaniee anout suspence
Deletei think suspense is always expected in every short story for the reason that it keeps you intrested .
DeleteI'm gonna go with what Mara said . It's true that suspense is pretty much expected in every short story .
DeleteLike Stephanie said, I think susupense is the best thing to make a short story great. I guess the more you make the audience or reader want to know, the more they'll be interested in going on.
ReplyDeleteI also think that suspence is the main thing that happens in a story
ReplyDeleteWhat i think makes a short story great is if it contains good details and is interesting.
ReplyDeleteLike what good details?
Deletei think what makes a short story great is the lesson learned from every action.
ReplyDeleteI think what makes a short story great is the moments of suspence. Also when the author makes the readers feel fear.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jesus about suspence
DeleteI think to make a great short story there has to be something to be solved or a mystery and sudden changes in the charcters emotions or thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWhat she said^^
ReplyDeletehahahaha
What I think makes a great short story is the story has lots suspense and mystery that leads to a climax
I think that what makes a short story great is suspence
ReplyDeleteThis story was mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stephanie about how suspense cause make a Great story but i also think that a Great story consist of making the reader change their emotions....I really don't know how to explain it. So here's an example, when you finish a sad story is makes you cry, or when you read a mystery story is makes you confused. Something along those lines.
ReplyDeleteI think suspense is what makes a short story great . Like you're just dying to wanna know what's about to happen next
ReplyDeleteWhat makes a great short story is emotions that you can connect to. Emotions that you connect to are fear and sadness. For example, when Mrs. White was about to open the door and her son didn't let her and those were moments of fear and sadness because he didn't know how his dad was going to look behind the door.
ReplyDeleteI think it needs to have detail, suspense,and foreshadowing .
