Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes and The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Also, Flannery O'Connor's short stories are sad and depressing - but not necessarily touching.

Where the Red Fern Grows makes some kids in my class cry every year! It is the touching story of a country boy and his relationship and adventures with two coon hounds. Be prepared to get very attached to these characters.

Try the short stories of Brett Harte. He wrote a series of stories set in the Old West that often had sad endings. "The Luck of Roaring Camp" was one of his stories that fits this description.

fairly cliche and isn't any longer precisely authentic to a cutter (if that's certainly what your narrator is). She fell flat on that end and that i wasn't involved in her background in any respect. You tell so plenty greater desirable than you teach and it slows the pacing of the story down and makes your characters fall flat. all your different characters are basically there to prop your narrator up whilst they could have personalities of their very own. Take some time whilst writing a narrative. enable it improve by utilising itself. enable the characters stay and breathe on the website and you would be shocked with distinctive the stuff they arise with. ultimately, whilst a sparkling individual speaks, you initiate up a sparkling paragraph. So it may bypass: "Oh, i like this on you," my buddy had mentioned to me. . . "thank you, i individually basically got here upon it," I had spoke back, smiling. Watch your grammar, too. as an occasion, the commas after the communicate bypass interior the citation marks. variety your communicate, too. as a replace of the above, you will have it like this: "Oh, i like this on you!" My buddy had mentioned to me. . . "thank you," I mentioned, "i individually basically got here upon it." there is plenty in this very short section i could desire to nitpick, despite the fact that it extremely is late, i'm drained, and that i can not subject. maximum human beings are not getting exhilaration from it besides, exterior of a author's critique board. reliable success and save writing!

'Silk' by Alessandro Baricco. It's more poignant and very touching than sad (although it is that too). Don't let the summary of the book fool you-- stick with it until the end (and it's rather short at that so it shouldn't be too hard) and it will be more meaningful.
