Application Project Example
As an example for a short story, I looked at Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Although this story is unrelated to my topic, I can take a few things from it in regards to my own short story I will write. Most importantly, I learned a few things regarding format and organization. One thing I like about the format of this story is it provides mystery and build-up to the most important parts, or climax. I believe the subject of my own short story has a bit of mystery and build-up through all the factors, situations, etc. that may lead an athlete into a possible eating disorder. In turn, I can look at how this famous author does it and take tips to provide a compelling, and somewhat suspenseful tale that will impact its readers. Regarding organization, there is a clear: beginning, middle, and end. Although this may seem simple, it is key because without a concise organization readers will be left hanging, unsatisfied, and/or confused. I feel the quotes coming from the narrator and main characters throughout help suck the reader into the experiences. Keeping this in mind I plan to most definitely personalize the story with quotations and character narrations. I think this will help readers connect to the characters as well as be affected by what they read. Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, Young Goodman Brown, is an excellent example of how it should be done.
