There were several differences between reading a short story during the middle school entrance examination and reading a general narrative: 1. Word limit: Short stories usually have less than 1000 words, while general narrative articles need more than 2000 words. This meant that short stories needed to be more compact in their plot, while ordinary narrations needed to be better arranged in their narrative structure. 2. Narration: Short stories usually use a concise and clear narrative style, focusing more on the plot and the character's character. The language is more concise; while general narrations pay more attention to expressing the author's emotions and thoughts, and the language is more gorgeous and emotional. 3. Theme-digging: Mini-novels usually use the character's experience and story development as clues to show the growth of the character and the exploration of the heart through the ups and downs of the plot; while general narrations focus more on expressing the author's views and thoughts on events and social phenomena. For example, let's say we want to read a short novel,"The Lost Puppy." This article uses the puppy's experience to show the growth and inner changes of the protagonist, and through the ups and downs of the plot to trigger the readers 'thoughts. If you want to read a general narrative such as "My Mother", this article will pay more attention to expressing the author's feelings and maternal love. The language is more gorgeous and emotional.
