Anecdotes typically have a start, middle, and conclusion, like any other form of narrative. The characters and overarching ideas are introduced at the start, the conflict or action of the narrative is presented in the middle, and everything is resolved at the conclusion.
The structure of anecdotes is similar to that of stories, but everything is considerably shorter.
Anecdotes are by nature brief and straightforward; therefore, they typically follow a more rapid pace with fewer specifics.
