What does this mean?

" in which a central conflict is - or is not."
Answered by Ciaria
Im going to have to write about a lie but its true to the narrator
Answered by Ciaria
And ms sue I think that means I'm going to have to write the main problem about the story ? Then at the end it resolves the whole problem
Answered by Ms. Sue
Thanks for explaining it, Ciaria.

Have you decided on a plot?
Answered by Ciaria
Im thinking of writing about a sister that has a brother that boxes and all the negativity gets to her and feels worried and scared .. than at the end I can say that her problems and being scared has gotten into happiness because he turned all the negativity into positive after he won his boxing match.

Answered by Ciaria
I don't know how should I start it off ?
Answered by Ciaria
And a short story should be how many paragraphs ? 4?
Answered by Writeacher
Before you can start if off or determine the length, you need to figure out what your subject or topic is.

One thing that has worked well for my grandchildren is to think of something in their life and then spin a story from it that is fiction. The idea was something from life, but the result was a short story.

Beginnings and length come later.

yeah that's exactly what I did , I told ms sue I'm going to write about a sister that has a brother that boxes and all the negativity gets to her and feels worried and scared .. than at the end I can say that her problems and being scared has gotten into happiness because he turned all the negativity into positive after he won his boxing match. , Ive thought about my life and twist it around a little , Now I'm just wondering about the beginning and length , I don't know if I should start it off as "once upon a time"
Answered by Writeacher
Just start telling the story ... an intro will come to you later ... IF you decide you need one!
Answered by Ms. Sue
Definitely not start it with "Once upon a time."

Some ideas --

She was scared!

Her brother was getting beaten -- badly beaten.

She loved her brother -- but was worried about him.
Answered by Ciaria
Okay Thank you !!
Answered by Ciaria
Is the length 4 paragraphs ?
Answered by Ciaria
The person that the story is about am I suppose to be her ? Am I suppose to write as if Im her or say "she said"
Answered by Ms. Sue
You can do it either way.

A short story of four paragraphs would be a really short, short story.

Answered by Ciaria
I'll make it like 2 pages or a page and a half , And thanks again ! :)
