What is a story? The telling of a happening or connected series of happenings, whether true or fictitious; account; narration An account of past event in someone's life or in the development of something. An account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. TYPES OF STORIES: Anecdote- an anecdote was a little-known, entertaining facts of history or biography; now, a short, often entertaining account of some happening, usually personal or biographical Apologue- An apologue is a short story or fable which provides a simple moral lesson. Fable- Apologues and fables are synonyms, as apologues are a type of fable, or moral tale. Whereas apologues are specifically confined to stories using animal characters, fables use both animal and human characters. Apologues tend to focus more on the moral, whereas fables focus more on weaving a story. Parable-similar to fables and apologues, parables are also simple moral tales. Parables are different from fables and apologues in that they do not use animal characters. Rather, they tell a story using human characters, such as the parables of Christianity or Islam.
