the difference between a play and a story is a play is a story that you act out and a story is something that you speak

A play is on a stage and is preformed for people. If you read a play, it has stage directions and cast names all over the place.A story,though has just words and sometimes pictures. There is no stage directions or cast names. I would rather read a story because I think plays are pretty confusing with all the extra things.

A play and a story are different because a play is something people act out and a story is something you write. I would rather read a play because people act the part out and a think it is more entresting

The diffrence of a play and a story is that a story you just read it you cant act it out while you are reading but a play you can act it out because it gives you what you are doing.I would rather read a play because you can you can act and you get to do funny things and say differint things.

A play is diffrent from a story because a play has lines that an actor performs.A story has text that actors don't perform.I would rather read a story because plays are easier to read with more people.At school you can't read with someone else.That is the diffrence between a play and a story.

I think plays are different because people can play different parts in a play. In a book you only read it and thats boring. I would want to read a play because act different people and you cant in a book.

I think a play is diffrent from a story because in a play it has the names of the actors and then there lines. But in a regulur story it dosen't have the actors names and their lines.
I would rather read a play because it has all the actors names listed,and I think that would be better because you could understand who was talking more.

A play has different lines for the characters. A story has no lines. A story doesn't have scenes either but a play does. A play can also be part of a bigger story.But a story is already a story.I would rather read a play because it is funner. You can act out the characters in funny voices and pick characters you want to be

A story is ment to be read not acted out. A play is organized way diffrent then a story. A play has stage directoins and lines people read when thier acting the play out.
I would rather read a story than a play. Stories are much easier to understand and read.

A play is when they act it out and a story is when they read it and it has the people not moving un less they tell youto flip the pages back then it will look like they are moving and in a play are moving like when ther swing from a rope and they hit a tree.I would rather read a play because it is funny for example they hit a tree and fall on ther ground or they fallin in a hole or they are on a vine and fall in the water.

This is how a play is different from a story. a play has aaudence that listen to you well you are on stage and they seat in seat on the ground. and a play also has some charters that act out some stuff and have there own parts.
A story you eather write or listen or read it.
I would bather read a play because you sometimes get to act out some stuff and also they are funney and cute when peple do them thats why i would bather read a play.

a play is a tyoe of story with actors and more feelings being displayed. A story is just a piece of wriing with a reason/ meaning tomit. It isn't acted out either,and it explains or displays less emotion.
