Components of a short story

Components of a short story Order Description Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper defining the literary genre of short story using John Updike's "A&P" as an example. Address the following points: Explain how "A&P" is different from other genres of fiction you have read in the past. Describe which standard characteristics of a short story are present in "A&P," and which are missing, if any. Provide examples. Explain whether you liked "A&P" more or less than longer fiction you have read, such as novels. Determine whether you think "A&P" would function as well if it were a novel rather than a short story, and defend your answer. Organize your paper using a traditional essay format with a clear introductory paragraph, body paragraphs based on the discussion points, and a conclusion paragraph. Support your paper with quotes and details from the story and at least two sources outside of the story.
