When outlining the theme of a short story in a single paragraph, what should it include? And how long should the paragraph be?

2 answers

The first sentence should include the thesis of your paragraph.
The three middle sentences should give 3 supporting facts to prove your thesis.
The last sentence should be a conclusion showing how these facts support your thesis.

The outline should look like this
A. Thesis
a. fact
b. fact
c. fact
B. Conclusion

This article lists the main elements of a short story. If you write your paragraph with one sentence each, you should be fine:

exposition
conflict
rising action
climax
falling action
dénouement
