    I think this is a good spy story,in which the characters are portrayed in great detail,and the details are in place,so that the reader can feel the atmosphere and emotions of the time.

    First of all,we should pick the core points and highlight our own story.Secondly,describe characters in concise and vivid language and highlight the details approproately.Thirdly,create a storyline with ups and downs,higghlighting the psychology of the characters and the atmosphere of the time.Besides,leave room for reader's imagination appropriately.Last but not least,carefully conceive the ending,make it unexpected and reasonable.

    The plot is compact,the characters are distinct,the descriptions are vivid,the words are concise,and the themes are prominent.For example,in this passage,the author tell a attractive story only by using a short form. The plot was not drag. The author described Ausable and Max in a vivid detail,which made the features of characters more obvious.The choices of word were so precise,such as disillusioned,moodily,murmured,bit his lip nervously and so on.

    1.It's a good story, the story starts with Ausable's self-deprecation and then ends with a wonderful unexpected story that highlights Ausable's cleverness and wit even more vividly.

    2.I think this kind of story should be a story with ups and downs, which seems very bland, but always unexpected.

    1.It's a good spy story, the story begins with Fowler's doubts and surprise about Ausable's status as a spy, and ends with     an unexpected ending, in which several details reveal Ausable's ability to improvise in critical situations as a spy and his   intelligence.

    2.The story has ups and downs, seemingly ordinary, but it is full of details, and the ending is unexpected.

    3.A good short story needs to show as much plot and characters as possible, and use vivid language to catch the reader's interest and leave a deep impression.

    4.Yes,I will. In this article, the author tells a fascinating story only in a short form. The author makes the characters of Ausable and Max more obvious.

    1. I thought the Midnight Visitor was a good, gripping spy story.

    2. Introduce an interesting opening first, either by using an interesting scene, a suspenseful question, or a curious situation.  Absable's description at the beginning of the article, for example, does not appeal to the reader like Fowler's image of a spy.  Secondly, develop clear goals and conflicts, set up intense pressures and deadlines, and use twists and turns and surprises.

    3.The plot twists and turns, good from the side to set off characters. In the article, the author describes the physical features of Ausable from Fowler's perspective, which shows that Ausable uses external images to disguise himself as a secret agent. Aysable encounters Max deliberately complaining, and leads the topic to the window, and says that there is a balcony below the window, paving the way for the following.

     2. I think a good short story needs vivid characters, a dramatic plot, vivid voice, and maybe a little profound truth.

     3. At the beginning of this story, our stereotype of spies is broken, and the ups and downs in the middle of the story are more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

    1.I think the Midnight Visitor was a very good spy novel.

    2.A good short story should have a tight plot, sharp characterization, vivid description, and concise wording. At the same time, the story should also have enough suspense and unexpected turning points to keep the reader interested and curious. That's what makes a story really gripping.

    3.The story begins with a disappointing spy Ausable, in the middle, Max was fighting over a very important document, and at the critical moment the door rings and the police arrive, and Max has to leave. In the end, it is revealed that there was no police officer who used Ausable wisdom to protect the document.

    I think this story is very interesting and thrilling. And I like these stories plots. I think a good story must have plot that can attract the audience and the portrayal of characters must be vivid. Especially the description of details in definitely thought provoking.For example, the description of Fowler's body shape in the article is very detailed. He said wheezily and sat down heavily. Those details indied  that he is very fat.

    I think this is a good spy story. A novel can only be short and gripping if it is interlocking with twists and turns. I think plot is the most important features. Because when the article is very short, a storyline with ups and downs attracts the reader's reading interest even more. There is a very clever plot in this article that the person knocking on the door is not a police officer, but a waiter called by Ausable.

    1、This is a good and engaging short spy story. 2、What makes it brief and compelling is that the author captures the key points to describe and portray. Such as the plot twists and turns. The reader will be surprised at everything. In addition, the image of the spy Ausable has broken through people's understanding of the image of the former spy.The author is very meticulous in the description, because every detail corresponds to the next story. And the words are not gorgeous but very concise and easy to understand.

    3、Yes.For example,the image of the spy Ausable has broken through people's understanding of the image of the former spy.Ausable is a sloppy fat man .But just the man successfully designed a trap for Max.We have to admit that he is extremely smart.

    Certainly! To make a short story both short and gripping, it requires careful craftsmanship and attention to key features. Here are important features that good short stories often possess:Compact plot: A short story should have a focused and streamlined plot. It typically revolves around a single event, conflict, or theme. By keeping the plot concise, the story can maintain a sense of urgency and tension.2. Efficient characterization: Due to the limited word count, characters in short stories should be portrayed through concise yet impactful details. Show their personalities, motivations, and conflicts through their actions, dialogue, and thoughts. Focus on revealing traits that are essential to the story.. Engaging opening: The beginning of a short story is crucial for hooking the reader. It should grab their attention and establish the core conflict or theme within a few sentences. An intriguing hook ensures the reader is immediately drawn into the story.. Vivid and economical description: In a short story, description should be vivid and evocative, while also being economical with words. Select details that create a strong sense of setting, atmosphere, or character emotions. Use concise yet impactful language to paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind.5Economical choice of words: Every word in a short story counts, so it's essential to choose words carefully. Use precise and evocative language that conveys the intended meaning. Eliminate unnecessary adjectives or adverbs to keep the narrative

    For a story to be both short and gripping, the writer needs to leave room for the reader to imagine. Ambush and use of various rhetorical devices are good choices. The plot of a good short story is short but concise, the character is well portrayed, and the characters are gradually shown through the plot. The article uses proper words and describes reasonably. "Midnight Visitor" is one such novel,Midnight Visitor" is such a novel, what impresses me most is the contrast between Ausable's image before and after.

    1.I think the storyline is very good.

    2. Plot: Good short stories often have a well-crafted plot with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The plot should be concise, yet engaging, with a strong conflict or tension that keeps the reader hooked. It should have a sense of urgency or momentum that drives the story forward.

      Characterization: Even in a short story, characters should be memorable and distinctive. Through brief but effective descriptions, the reader should be able to understand the characters' motivations, personalities, and struggles. Their actions and decisions should drive the plot and create emotional resonance.

      Description: The use of vivid and evocative descriptions can bring the story to life. However, in a short story, descriptions should be selective and focused, highlighting only the most essential details. The goal is to create a sensory experience that immerses the reader in the story world.

    3.I'll talk about how a good novel can capture the reader's attention through a good plot

    It is a wonderful spy story, A short and gripping story needs the fantanstic content and heart-stirring plot. Max was very nervous while Ausble was clever,he just calmed down and gabe some hints that let the Max run away. So a good spy should always have the courage to triump over the difficulties.
