Answer:

"Home" by Gwendolyn Brooks

Elements:

1. Characters:  The main character is Maud Martha a girl.  Others are members of the family: Papa, Mama, and Helen (her sister) with Harry mentioned in passing.

2. Setting: The short story is set around the family house of Maud Martha.

3. Plot: The main event is that the girls and their mother were waiting outside for their father to return from the Loan office where their fate and continued stay in their house would be decided.

4. Conflict:  The family was about to lose their family house (home), an emotionally-attached house where they had lived for over fifteen years.  Their hope was hanging in a precarious state until their Father returns with good news.

5. Theme: The theme is centered on the home, both a physical place (house) and a psychological reality (togetherness and love).  The home is truly an important place with personal deep attachments, where the most subtle emotions are expressed freely.

Explanation:

Gwendolyn Brooks was the author of the novel, "Maud Martha" in which "Home" was chapter 8.   "Home" is a shot story that narrates the life of a poor family worried about losing not only their house, but what meanings that the house represents for each family member.

A theme is the central message, or main lesson, learned by reading the story.  The moral is a special kind of didactic message.  A moral teaches a reader a life lesson, such as what is right or wrong, how to make ethical decisions, or how to treat other people.

Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story, or the main part of a story. These events relate to each other in a pattern or a sequence. The structure of a novel depends on the organization of events in the plot of the story.
