The five elements of a short story that my novel (Acceleration by: Graham McNamee) contains are setting, conflict, suspense, characters and point of view. In order of most important to least important I would place them in order as: conflict,suspense, characters, setting, and point of view. The most important would be conflict, and in my novel it states that "Hunting. He's hunting. He's moved past the animals and the fires. The "kids' stuff." Now he's going after bigger game. The real thing. A woman." (McNamee, 47) This creates conflict as the serial killer is going to kill women now and Duncan has to stop him.

This does sound like a rather conflicting and suspenseful book! It seems your novel gives quite a number of emotions to the reader. I rather adore how the quote you used has an air of suspense and epic timing. The punctuation of the quote you chose accurately conveys the purpose. I agree with your opinion as to the order of importance, and I would like to recommend a bit more of an expansion of your conclusion, as this book sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the five elements that you have chosen! I think the quote that you have selected is great to defend why you believe conflict is the most important however you should expand on how the quote relates to your idea!
ReplyDeleteI also used the same 5 elements for my blog. The quote that you have given is a great example of how conflict is the most important element in your book.However, i do agree with Nisha that you need to expand on how your quote relates to your idea.
