Mrs. Donati's reading class covered many novels and short stories throughout the year including Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, A Tale of Two Cities, and My Brother Sam Is Dead. When studying short stories, the class focused on elements like plot, character, setting, point of view, tone, and theme. As an example, when reading The Dinner Party the class studied plot, and when reading A Nincompoop and Charles they examined theme and character respectively. The Raven provided a challenge as it required understanding of all story elements.

1. There are multiple contexts and frames through which a text like a poem or work of fiction can be analyzed and interpreted, including biographical, historical, geographical, formalist, structuralist, psychoanalytical, and various critical lenses.
2. Traditionally the focus was on the author's background and intentions, but approaches shifted to analyzing the text itself using close reading techniques and considering the work as an aesthetic object.
3. More recent approaches consider the role of the reader and acknowledge that meanings are constructed through the interaction between the text and reader, leading to multiple potential interpretations. The "game" of reading involves understanding and maneuvering within these various contexts.

SHORT STORY FROM HISTORY TO ELEMENTS
Short stories originated from oral storytelling traditions such as Homeric epics. Early short stories were published separately in the late 18th century, but the first true short story collections emerged in the early 19th century across several countries. Edgar Allan Poe is considered a pioneer of the modern short story form, arguing they should be short enough to read in one sitting. The growth of magazines and journals in the late 19th century increased demand for short fiction of 3,000 to 15,000 words. Famous 20th century American short story authors include J.D. Salinger, Flannery O'Connor, and Raymond Carver.
INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE.pptx
Literary devices are structures used by writers to convey messages and themes in their works. There are two main types: literary elements which are inherent parts of stories like characters and plot, and literary techniques like metaphor and simile which writers employ purposefully. Common literary elements include plot, which is the sequence of events; point of view, which is the perspective; setting, which is the time and place; characters; and theme, which is the central idea. Common literary techniques include imagery, simile, metaphor, personification, irony, and symbolism. These devices help readers to better understand, analyze, and appreciate literary works.

Over time, short sections of stories told in verse evolved into short prose narratives that could be told in a single sitting. Some of the earliest published short stories appeared between 1790-1810, though true short story collections emerged between 1810-1830. During the 19th century, the growth of magazines and journals fueled demand for short fiction of 3,000-15,000 words. Many famous authors contributed short stories during this time, helping establish the short story as a popular genre. The 20th century saw continued experimentation and growth in the short story form across various regions and time periods.
