What Makes A Good Story?

When I think of the word "story" there is no way that I can define it in just one sentence. A story comes in many different forms and genres, for example, one form of a story could be a tale of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. Another example could be, for instance a report of an item of news in a newspaper, magazine, or website as well as a piece of gossip or a rumor. But when it comes to writing a great story you have to know the key parts that make up a great story. The theme, plot, story structure, characters, setting, style, and tone all play a part in this. A theme is something important that the story tries to tell us, it's best if the story has this and when you're  writing it  try not to get too preachy. The plot is usually about conflict or stuggle that the main character has to go through. When it comes to the stucture of the story, at the beginning, jump right into the action. At the end, finish the story up quickly. When you think about what kind of characters you want in your story make sure you know them well, your readers should be able to feel like they have something in common with the main character. Be sure to set your story in a time and place that will be interesting and maybe even familiar. And finially, for tone and style use a language that feels right for your story.
