Select an appropriate point of view; incorporate symbols, irony, foreshadowing, and other techniques. Give particular attention to effective characterization and vivid setting. Submit it electronically and to turnitin.com and complete an analysis sheet to accompany the story showing how the work incorporates the various elements of fiction (SLO 1,2,3).

Who is the protagonist? 4. Who is the antagonist? 5. Who is a foil character? 6. What exposition have you given? 7. What is the theme of your story? 8. Have you used any foreshadowing? If so, where? 9. Have you used any allusions? If so, what? 10. Does anything in the story function as a symbol? If so, what? 11. How have you shown, rather than told? 12. If you have used discourse (written conversation) have you remembered to start a new paragraph each time the speaker changes? 13. What inspired this story idea? 14. What have you learned about appreciating fiction from writing fiction?
