How to Plot a Short Story
A great short story drops the reader into its world swiftly and holds their attention all the way through.
It can be as simple as knowing a few key moments you want to work your way toward. You'll wind up with things you never imagined at the start. Follow these steps to plot your next story.
Brainstorm. You don't need to have multiple short story ideas ready to go at a moment's notice. When that idea comes to you, sit down and flesh it out. Make note of any characters, settings, or bits of dialogue that you see.
The foundations of your main conflict or theme often form a short story's rising action. To create tension and movement, you must know exactly what your character wants and what would prevent them from getting it. Conflicts can be internal or external, so imagine at what stage the reader will be meeting your character.
Create a brief outline. Sketch out(草拟) the flow of events your short story will contain, including interactions between characters and key moments. Write down identifying characteristics. But when it comes to drafting, pick your moments of backstory carefully.
Pick a point of view. Many short stories work well in first-person because of their brevity (简洁).
If your story needs to be told in second-person or third-person, that works, too. Regardless of which POV you choose, it's usually best to center that narrative around one main character to ensure a consistent read on the situation at hand.
A. Select the right character.
B. Write out the central conflict.
C. All you need is one solid concept.
D. But there's no hard and fast rule saying yours must.
E. Short stories allow the freedom to experiment because of their freestyle.
F. Plotting a short story doesn't have to involve a detailed list of plot points.
G. To make the cut, a piece of information must contribute to the story's central events.

Bonobos often form friendly relationships with other bonobos in separate social groups-the first time this has been seen in non-human primates (灵长类). This is in line with humans, but in contrast to chimpanzees, another primate, which frequently kill chimps in other groups. The findings challenge the idea that humans evolved (进化) from violent apes, says Surbeck at Harvard University. "This potential to form cooperative links between different groups is not uniquely human and it might have occurred earlier than we thought, "he says.
Many animals cooperate, but they seem to do so only with those within their social circle, or in-group. Hostile (敌对的) interactions between groups are common among animals, including chimpanzees, so scientists have often assumed that hostility towards other social groups in humans is natural, says Samuni, also at Harvard. However, humans also often cooperate with people in different social circles, for example, by trading or teaching.
Bonobos are one of our closest living relatives. They are less studied than chimpanzees, but are known to be more peaceful, says Surbeck. To learn more about interactions between groups, Surbeck and Samuni observed 31 adult bonobos from two social groups in Congo over a two-year period. The pair documented 95 encounters between the groups, which represented about 20% of their total observation time. Unlike chimpanzees observed in previous studies, they showed cooperation with out-group members. In fact, 10% of all mutual grooming (梳毛) and 6% of all food sharing occurred among members of different social groups.
While bonobos that groomed others usually got an immediate benefit, food sharing rarely resulted in a gift in return. This suggests that their actions were "not just motivated by selfish interests or immediate rewards", Surbeck and Samuni report.
Otten, a researcher from the Netherlands, finds the study "exciting", especially as it "challenges the idea of human exceptionalism" with regard to out-group cooperation. Otten says the bonobos that were most cooperative within their groups were the same ones that cooperated more with out-group members. This agrees with findings from humans. "Scholars used to believe that in-group 'love' goes together with out-group 'hate', but recent research suggests that often in-group cooperators are also out-group cooperators, "he says.
(1)、What is the focus of the study on bonobos?A、Their social behavior. B、Their survival skills. C、Their evolutionary process. D、Their intelligence level.(2)、What can be learnt about the bonobos?A、They are humans' closest relatives. B、They can be taught to cooperate. C、They interact friendly beyond groups. D、They share food for immediate rewards.(3)、How was the study conducted?A、By comparing different primates. B、By observing bonobos' interactions. C、By listing group members' motivations. D、By analyzing statistics of previous studies.(4)、How does Otten find the study?A、Forward-looking. B、Groundbreaking. C、Controversial. D、One-sided. -
