A novel and a short story are nearly written in the same way. A short story is shorter than a novel. This is because a short story writer does not have ample time to describe events lengthily. He dwells much on giving an account of how events happened without having to explain each and every event. This article attempts to showcase how this novellete has been written and checks whether it qualifies to be a novel or a novelette. The findings are that the novel has been written well and that the language usage is satisfactory as the author utilised the idiomatic expressions and other parts of speech to enrich the language.
