Choose a topic that involves an emotional conflict. For example, you may want to write a story about the unexpected end of a childhood friendship.
Create an outline to organize your thoughts for when you write the interpretative story. The first heading can be the introduction. Under this heading, write notes about the beginning of the story, such as the description of the main characters. Under the heading for the body paragraphs, or the rising action, write notes about how the conflict intensifies. For example, one of the friends may have decided to no longer speak to the other friend. Under the conclusion, or resolution heading, write notes about how the story ends. For example, the two former best friends may decide to live separate lives and learn from their mistakes.
Write a rough draft of the interpretative story. When you write the rough draft, use the outline as a guide. Each heading should correspond to a separate paragraph. As you write, remember to include details about the feelings of each of the characters. For example, write about how each friend feels regarding the end of their friendship.
Proofread your interpretative story. Read the story aloud in order to find all of your mistakes. After you fix your mistakes, write the final version of the story.
Analyze your interpretative short story. When writing an interpretative story, you should determine how you would analyze it. Therefore, determine what the main idea of your story is. For example, the main insight to your friendship story is that not all friendships last forever, even those that have lasted for years. Petty conflicts can cause friends to stop speaking to one another. Sometimes, when the issue is not confronted, the best resolution is to learn from the experience and to move on.
