I read many stories on Fiction on web and I found out amazing that It actually follow the rule from The Owl At Purdue site. On the site It tell the problems that happened often on beginning fiction writer. The problems are Summary and Scenes, telling and showing, control of scope of the story, stereotype character, overly dramatic plot.
After reading stories, I see the most often and the most important problem was the controlling the scope of the story. From what I read they all show good at controlling the scope. I do not know if that is somebody's problem but I think one of my big problem was controlling the scope of the story.
In the first story I read, Adenburrow, I found that the story is well organized in both it's ideas and paragraphs. In the story I found really good scene and really good dramatic plot. It really describe a man who is having day dream about sex and interrupt by a unrelated stranger.
Another story I read was Granny. It was about a family's granny have a weird habit of prepare give. In the story I found the story have a well fixing stereotype character because it give many information about the character.
After reading many I found interesting that many of story in the fiction on web are pretty straight forward. I do not know if I am really lucky that in five story that I read I did not found any symbolism or satire or.....etc. However, I think this shows how important that having good organized story is better than the bad organized but got many literary term.
