The differences between a short story and a chapter.

There are multiple differences between a short story and a
chapter. To first begin, a complete explanation of a short story's components need to be
described.

A short story typically contains five different
parts: introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and conclusion. All of these
pieces are necessary in a short story.

The introduction
introduces the setting, plot, and main characters of the text. Typically, the
introduction ends with the understanding of the main conflict of the
text.

The rising action builds the main conflict, other
conflicts exist, and other characters may/may not be
introduced.

The climax of the text is when the main
conflict comes to a head and is concluded.

The falling
action begins tying up loose ends and leads to the
conclusion.

The conclusion wraps up the story and provides
closure.

A chapter of a text can simply depicts one aspect
of what is going on in a longer works such as novels or novellas. A chapter can give
simple explanations on actions, introduce a single character, or depict a single
conflict.

Therefore, a chapter only shows one aspect of a
greater whole, while a short story depicts a story in its
entirety.
