Short Narrative

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or narrative:

“Makin’ a long stay short is a great aid t’ popularity.”
—Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)

“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
