kind of literature that uses the lyrical and aesthetically pleasing aspects of language to express
meaning. Rhyme and rhythm are not important in prose.

and comparisons. Prose tends to be simpler and less ornamented than poetry. Lines that may or
may not be whole sentences. Stanzas are groups of lines.

tone and style.
3. What are the strategies of reading a short story?

Title

A title can be a decorative accessory to a text, but it can also reveal something about the story itself.
During the reading process, ask yourself what the title tells you about the story. Does it foreshadow an
event or name a particular character? Does it reference or allude to something specific outside of the
story, such as another story, event or a mythical character?

Background and Context

Knowing the background and context can be crucial to gaining insight about a story. Take the time to
read about the biography of the author, and glance at the rest of his body of work. Note when and
where the story was written, as the social and political climate at the time of its production can reveal
meaning and references that may not have been otherwise clear.

Characters

The characters are the people in the story, both major and minor, to whom the story happens. The
protagonist is the main character and often drives the story forward. Ask what the protagonist wants.
What is she fighting for? Do the characters change or develop over the course of the story? Different
points-of-view afford different degrees of insight into the characters' thoughts and motivations. Examine
whether the story is told through the point-of-view of any of the characters. What limitations or
important information does the reader gain from a particular point-of-view?

Plot

The plot is essentially what happens to the characters in the story. Ask if there is a traditional plot
structure of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. If these points exist in the
story, how are they manifested and why do they matter to the story and its characters? A key force that
can drive a plot is a problem or conflict. Is there a problem or conflict between the characters or
between two forces such as good and evil? Is this conflict ever resolved?
Themes

A theme is a central topic or subject and often expresses some aspect of human experience. All art,
including literature, embodies universal themes like love, death, forgiveness and resilience. Most art
contains several of these themes in a single piece.
