C. larger topics that joyce is addressing is like rape also i wouldn't say this is large but adulthood growing up and making choices that could effect your life.
D. i think the story appeals to so many people because it's filled with alot of conflicts that gets exciting and intense.
E. in the end i think connie does sleep with him.
I would have to say that what makes a short story great is that the
1) plot has to well thought out
2) it has to grab the reader's attention right away.
3) settings and characters they have to be descriptive more visual
4) especially with characters because you don't have an extra 300 pages to add onto the character's traits. it's like boom that's so and so in a nutshell.
5) length in a short story? i'd say 100, 150 pages tops. or if you want it super short 20 pages
6) genre and type of view personally i would say maybe young adult book, adventure and with the main character being the narrator. and with
7) conflicts i'd say more realistic drama not like comic books kinda thing even though those's are entertaining as well and i would probably like that too.
8) the story flows it's not just scattered where you're jumping from one scence to the next
9) a good strong ending that's just as strong as the beginning
10) original story

i disagree with your comment, i don't think connie sleeps with him. i don't know why, but it would seem to obvious.
i agree with you that a short story has to flow and not jump around all over the place. when you're telling a story in a small amount of text, you have to be consice(sp?) and to the point.
