Elements of a Novella What is it?
A fictional, narrative piece of literature that is typically longer than a short story but shorter than a novel
What makes it different? Structure Plot and Conflict
![Page 2: Elements of a Novella What is it? A fictional, narrative piece of literature that is typically longer than a short story but shorter than a novel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599afcdd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Structure Due to its shorter length, a
novella is not typically divided into chapters
However, since it is longer than a short story, it can be grouped into sections
In A Christmas Carol, the plot will be divided into sections called staves

Plot and Conflict Again, due to its typically shorter length, a
novella has fewer conflicts than the typical novel
Novellas are less likely to have multiple subplots and shifts in point of view
Conflicts tend to focus on personal and emotional development rather than on societal development
What it lacks in conflict, it makes up for in highly developed characterization and detailed description

Use context clues to make sure you understand the
prompt I believe that responsibility is an
important factor in characters. Why I think so is because, responsibility is what a character must do and be ready for the advantage of the plot and other characters.

In this context, the “5-paragraph essay” is typically your safest
bet At the very least you need an
introduction, body, and conclusion layout
You need to clearly use transitions

When you feel like you can’t answer the
prompt or don’t want to... Give yourself the best shot by directly
answering the prompt question in the 1st sentence
Provide at least 1 detailed example for support
Wrap up the essay in a clear conclusion-even if it’s only a sentence

While graders will be more lenient with some conventions errors (spelling,
comma usage,...), they will be less
forgiving of incomplete and/or unclear sentences.

Make Sense? One important pillars of a character
I think is most important is trustworthiness because in order to have that characteristic, makes you a better person of who you are.
![Page 13: Elements of a Novella What is it? A fictional, narrative piece of literature that is typically longer than a short story but shorter than a novel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599afcdd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Don’t repeat your examples!
I think to be trustworthy is very important because if your close friend tells you something that they don’t want anyone to know, it is always good to keep the secret.
If you want to be a great friend, you have to have trustworthiness because if you don’t, no one will ever tell you anything again.
If someone told you something and you told another person...

When possible, use real-world examples
from current events/issues or from books/history rather than hypothetical or general examples.

The thing is not everyone thinks about fairness anymore. People are treated wrong in factories, sweatshops, stores, restaurants and are bullied all around.
