A novel is very much a tale and journey that is lengthy and can be told from multiple perspectives. Normally you see some level of message of the real world and several different themes and symbolisms.
A short story sells an overarching theme or lesson and tends to be more intense and to the point with less climactic build up. Normally, there is one if maybe two main character(s) who learn something new about themselves or who learn a valuable life lesson. Short stories can sometimes be also of a popular book character written as spin offs and side adventures for them as they don’t have to have the climactic build up or deep lore of a novel.
As a child who is being hid from her mother and father for being different she’d (from a child’s perspective) feel angry and mad that she isn’t out there for the world to know causing her to be stubborn and difficult, more of a chaotic child. But also quiet and shy mostly, because her people skills aren’t that good from being hidden away, (hope this helps!)
No internet without a doubt. When I first came to my house for the first couple of days there was no heating to speak of which mind you is not how one should find their house. My fingers froze and let me tell you, the internet wouldn't be worth anything if I couldn't feel warm during the cold or cool during a hot day.
