Impotance of SHORT STORIES

Why Short Stories Are Best for English Learning ???

1. We can get more time to focus on individual words.
 When a text is short, we can devote more time to learning how every single word is used and what importance it has in the piece.

2. We can read a whole story in one sitting. 
Attention spans are very important for learning, and the ability to finish a story gives we more time to digest it. Short stories are designed to give a maximum information with minimal effort.

3. It is best for consistency.
 It is far easier to read one story every day than trying to read a big novel that never seems to end.

4. We can share them easily in a group.
 Since short stories can be read in a single setting. Most of the time these groups do not work because members have no time to read. Short stories are the perfect solution.

5. We can focus more on ideas and concepts. 
Language is less about words and more about the meaning behind them. If we spend all times to learning vocabulary and grammar, we will never be able to fluently speak a language because we iwill have little to talk about. These short stories give the opportunity to understand big ideas in context.

For example:

''THE MISSING MAIL'' 
                                by R.K.NARAYAN

Thanappa is the village mailman who is good friends with Ramanujam and his family. He gets to know about a failed marriage and helps Ramanujam’s daughter get engaged with a suitable match. Just before the wedding, Thanappa receives a tragic letter about Ramanujam’s brother. He decides not to deliver it.

Novels are another example of fictional prose and are much longer than short stories. Some short stories, however, can be quite long. If a a short story is a long one, say fifty to one hundred pages, we call it a novella.
