Story Writing

Story Writing  :  A story is divided into paragraphs. A good story has a beginning, end and middle. The first paragraph is introductory while the last one contains conclusion. The middle paragraphs develop the topic.

Tips for effective writing style :

  • Organising Ideas : The piece must have an organic growth. Ideas should be linked together and grow from each other organically. The first sentence in each paragraph should be a topic sentence.
  • Writing Style : Ensure expression in clear and grammatically correct English.  Use approriate style, structures and vocabulary. Choose proper tense forms, and determiners. Connectors and prepositions make the story more effective. Correct spelings, proper punctuation and capitals add to the beauty of the story.

    Once upon a time there was a King who had a pet monkey. The monkey was allowed to go wherever it liked in the King's palace. One day the King was fast asleep in his bedroom and the monkey sat beside him on the bed, fanning him so that he could sleep comfortably. Just then, a fly came in through the open  window and started buzzing around the sleeping King and then settled down on his nose. The monkey chased it away with the fan but the fly kept coming back again and again. Finally, not knowing how to make it go away, the monkey decided to kill the fly. When it sat on the King's nose, the monkey took aim and hit it hard with a stick. The fly escaped and was out of the window in a flash but the King's nose got broken due to the antics of the foolish monkey.
