i'm struggling on idea's for " A short story about a main character who undergoes a change or learns something"


I would like to know if you can give me any examples of short stories and i will come up with something similar, just examples please

You need to read "The Most Dangerous Game" from which you should get lots of different ideas.

thankyou !

You're welcome!

Of course! I can provide you with a couple of examples of short stories that revolve around a main character undergoing a change or learning something. Here are two classics:

1. "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry: This well-known short story tells the tale of a young married couple, Jim and Della, who don't have enough money to buy each other Christmas gifts. In the end, both characters make significant sacrifices to purchase presents for one another, only to realize that their love for each other is the greatest gift they could have.

2. "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant: This story revolves around Madame Loisel, who longs to be a part of the upper class but is dissatisfied with her humble lifestyle. When she borrows an expensive necklace to wear to a fancy event, she loses it. This leads her to experience a major shift in her perception of wealth and happiness.

Now that you have examples to draw inspiration from, you can develop a similar short story. Think about a main character who starts off with certain beliefs, desires, or flaws and encounters a situation that challenges or changes them. Consider what lessons they may learn or how their perspective might shift as a result. You can build your story upon these basic premises and develop them into a unique and engaging narrative.
