I'm trying to write a short story and I was told it should have a beginning, middle and end. What does this mean? Is it separate time frames in the story? Just separate paragraphs? How do I know if my story already has a beginning, a middle and and end?

DECLARATION OF SECESSION, MISSISSIPPI
"In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course."

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of...

Title Immortal
Author Untermeyer, Louis (1885–1977)

Death cannot keep me; even when the dry
Earth holds me warm, a rose-bush at my head.
I shall not be content to loaf and lie
Inactive in that strait and slothful bed.

For soon the happy restlessness of life
Shall pierce me, stir me, make me once again
Part of the vigor and the freshening strife,
Raised by the miracles of sun and rain.

And when at length the grudging winters pass,
Endowed with swift and splendid liberty,
I shall go forth in rich and sturdy grass;
Shall scent the clover, call the thirsting bee.

I shall be in the urge that bursts the pod,
Pushing the sap along the stiffening tree;
That gives the young branch leaves, that stabs the sod.
The rose shall bloom more proudly—bearing me.

All things shall feel and drink me unawares;
The scattering winds,

I'm working on a King Arthur fan-fiction, and can't keep calling them his horse, mounts or that horse throughout the entire fic. It would be quite tedius, not to mention repetitive.

Between Child and Adult

She stood in the door way,
between child and adult.
Never thinking of her actions,
as being her own fault.

She thought of times,
Past and coming.
Afraid to grow up,
Trying to stay put yet knowing.

Afraid to cross that border,
Between child and adult.
She slipped the pill between her lips,
Thinking it’s not her fault.

She’s in her own world,
Separate from our own.
Her friends were there with her,
Comforting her moans.

Her dads at the door,
She’s lost her will.
He slaps at her face,
but doesn’t wake even still.

She stood in the door way,
Between child and adult.
Never thinking of her actions,
as being her own fault.

She didn’t want to continue,
to live her life stuck,
thrown in the middle,
Between child and adult.

I would be interested in knowing what you thought of the book if you have read it. My friend says she can't decide if it is history or romance?

The comic book pages have hidden letters in them. 86 total. Those letters spell out a quote and the author of the quotes name. I can't figure it out!!

What book have you read that has the craziest twist or twists that you never saw coming?
When I was in high school my teacher told us about an author that he liked. He said that in this guys books there were always twists at the end that went a completely different way than you'd think. I'm trying to figure out who the author was.
And also I just wanna know of some books that are really suspenseful and have wild, unexpected turns?
Thanks.

How did the leaders justify the conflict to their people?

How essential is it that leaders justify war?

Did the justification change depending on audience?

(i.e. constituents,allies,neutral parties,opponents).If so how?

Did the justification change over time?If so how?

Did the intended audience accept the justification?This can
be judged by examining newspaper columns and editorials, statements by governments & polls.

What determines when the point of last retort is reached?

How does the conflict support the principles & categories of war?

Does the conflict lend itself to other principles or categories of war?

Do you agree w/ the principles & categories of war?

Please answer question w/ much details and evidence
Thank you
