Describe the process of writing a successful short story.
Answer:
Planning the story, create a draft, correct and publish story.
Explanation:
Although short stories have a beginning, middle and end, they are of a shorter brevity and there is always a message to give. Short stories require an exhaustive simplification because we must transmit the message and avoid losing the attention of the reader. I recommend 4 steps for writing one. Step 1: Plan the story, from creating the characters, environments, internal time (weather, whether it is day or night, time) among other narrative elements. Step 2: Write a draft version. Step 3: Correction process, where the history should be re-read to determine if there are spelling or grammar errors and to apply the necessary corrections at the same time that the punctuation and spelling are verified. Step 4: Publication.
The process of writing a successful short story is long and can often be complicated. The first thing to do is begin to plan the story. You need to come up with a general idea of the plot. The most important factor to consider is what your conflict is, and why this conflict should interest the reader. You should also plan who your characters are and how they will behave.
One you have a general plan of the story you should create a draft. You need to have an exposition, a rising action, a climax and a falling action with a conclusion. You need to build suspense about the conflict, and develop the characters' personalities.
If you are satisfied with your draft, the next step is revision. You should read your draft several times in order to make sure it has no mistakes and the story is compelling. It is a good idea to get other people to read your draft as well.
Finally, after these steps are completed, you are ready to publish your story.

Which of these does Margaret Frink describe as an exciting sight she saw during her journey?
A.The birth of a baby on the trail
B.A brawl among pioneers and Indians
C.Miles of pioneers on the trail
D.A pioneer fighting off a bear
The answer is: C. Miles of pioneers on the trail
Margaret Frink and her husband went on a journey in 1850, they started in their home in Indiana and finished in gold fields of California, she narrates all the adventures and incidents they live during this journey and one of these events she describes as an exciting sight was an image of miles of pioneers on the trail.
Final answer:
Without the specific text that mentions Margaret Frink's account, the answer could be 'C.Miles of pioneers on the trail', reflecting the scale of westward migration, but the correct sighting cannot be confirmed.
Explanation:
Margaret Frink's journey was characterized by the struggles of the settlers as they traveled over the Oregon Trail. The majority of excerpts provided do not specifically mention Margaret Frink, and thus it is difficult to ascertain the exact exciting sight she saw based on this information. However, the excerpts generally depict various scenes of pioneer life, interactions with Native Americans, and the natural challenges faced during the era of westward expansion. Of the options provided, the closest match to the descriptions given might be 'C.Miles of pioneers on the trail', as this would reflect both the scale and the communal nature of the migration westward, although without the specific text mentioning Margaret Frink's account, this cannot be confirmed with certainty.
A framework for putting all of your information together in a logical sequence is called
a. a thesis
b. a central idea
c. an outline
d. an introduction
Final answer:
Option C. Outline
Explanation:
A framework for putting all of your information together in a logical sequence is known as an outline. An outline helps you prepare for your speech or writing by including an introduction, a conclusion, the main content of the body, and citation information. The principles of outlining encompass consistency, unity, coherence, and emphasis with the purpose of organizing the presentation of your ideas effectively. It is also an invaluable tool for ensuring all your points and subpoints are organized in a way that supports the thesis or central idea of your speech or essay. A thesis represents the writer's central point and is often used within the introduction to state the topic, the angle being taken, and the aspects that will be covered. It suggests how you will organize your information and adequately forecasts the content of an essay in a clear, concise, and limited manner. Meanwhile, a thesis statement is one sentence long, appearing at the end of the introduction, focusing on one to three points of a single idea.
