Modern Short Story
Modem short stories deal with ordinary people. The plots and settings
may vary considerably. Some stories are set in the past or the present,
while others are set in the future. The length of this form of literature
still limits the plot and the setting. Modem writers tend to focus more
on character development. Often readers are left to infer from clues the
qualities of the characters or setting. Many short stories offer a moral
lesson or philosophical statement about humans and the human experience.
