The Hound of the Baskervilles - Arthur Conan Doyle

The Call of the Wild - Jack London
Animal Farm - George Orwell
also, could i have some more examples of novellas & novels?

Answer 1

A) Novel
B) Novella
C) Novel
D) Novella

A "Novella" is a story, shorter than a "Novel" but longer than a "Novelette" which used prose to tell a morally uplifting story, the purpose of which is to teach the reader a valuable lesson in life, rather than to merely entertain the reader.

Try comparing 'The Old Man and The Sea' with 'Moby Dick'. Both have a story line both have characters, both have a moral message.
'The Old Man and The Sea' makes You aware of the strengths of Human Nature and not just the power of Human Determination. Make sense to You?

Answer 2

Novel is to Novella as Jaguar is to Jaguarundi
