A Humorous Story Of 24 Hour'

1. What are fictional stories? 2. Many people will say fictional stories are stories that are not true. 3. Yes, that is correct, but there are many more parts to fiction. 4. Per Kirszner and Mandell, “A work of fiction is a narrative that originates in the imagination of the author rather than in history or fact” (62) 5. Some examples of fiction are poems, epics, and novels. 6. Not all fiction is one hundred percent false, “some fiction focuses on real people and is grounded in actual events, but the way the characters interact, what they say, and how the plot unfolds are largely the author’s invention” (Kirszner and Mandell 62) 7. The plot, the setting, and the point of view of a fictional story are only three

The story of the hour is, to me, an interesting short story of the insight into the life thoughts of a woman struggling with a life that is proper and sociably acceptable and her own desires. Upon reading the opening passage “Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.” (1) The reader, in this case I, would understand quickly that the main character of the story, Mrs. Mallard, must be treated with tenderness. We also learn that grave news is coming her way in a most careful manner. Reading further the actions of the main character would show shock, confusion, surprise, and other anxiety of a life without

For this story, I will use Mrs. Mallard as the example, and will discuss her challenges and struggles. According to the text, she was “afflicted with a heart trouble," so based on that alone we know that she struggled with delicate health issues. The narrator further described her as, “young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength.” The ‘lines’ or wrinkles of repression that he speaks of is most likely caused by the stress of suppressing feelings or emotions in her life. Although she described her husband in a positive light, I do not believe she was happy and/or in love with him. My assumption is based on the fact that she demonstrated an incredible sense of relief when she thought he had passed on.

In "The Story of an Hour," Kate Chopin suggests that in certain scenarios, the death of a loved one may be a blessing in disguise. Possible situations may include an abusive relationship, or an unhappy marriage, as the story suggests. Although the circumstances throughout the story might lead the reader to believe that Louise's husband's death would cause her great pain, ironically, when she hears the news, she feels a sense of euphoria. This suggests that death may not always cause agony.

There is immense power in well-written satire: it can make its audience laugh with witticisms rooted in truths, even make them think differently about any subject, mundane or critical. Bad satire, however, emphasizes all the wrong parts: it gets its facts wrong, goes off track, and closes its audience’s minds to any new way of thinking it might present. Li Chongyue and Wang Lihua’s article would be bad satire, a bad argument. Chongyue and Lihua’s “A Caricature of an Ungrateful and Unfaithful Wife” distorts Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” through imaginative exaggeration of character interaction, emotional ignorance, and its simplification of the characters and the text.

Ray Karner was a 35 year old man who shovels dead bodies into furnaces. He was the type of person who loved memories. Anything he thought was meaningful, he immediately jotted down in his diary. He had a daughter and a wife who he loved dearly. Many memories of them took up about half of his small pocket book. One after another, great days would pass by. But later he soon came to realize that things don’t always seem the way you want them to be.

The exploration of symbolism and irony in “The Story of an Hour”, is apparent for the reader to establish. Irony being the opposite of what is intended; Having 3 types of irony they are divided by verbal, dramatic, and situational. Symbolism is any object, person, place, or experience that represents more than what it is.

In “The Story of an Hour” we are taken through a journey. The journey is the thoughts and emotions going through Mrs. Mallards (Louise) mind. The journey only takes an hour, so everything moves at a fast pace. Louise seemed to process the news of her husband’s death without an initial element of disbelief and shock. She goes right into the reaction of grieving for her husband. She quickly begins to feel other emotions. At first she does not understand them. The journey is a way that Louise comes to her final thoughts of freedom. She looks into the future and looks forward to living a long life on her own terms.

Throughout “The Story of an Hour” many different variations of happiness as well as sadness take place. Kate Chopin, the author, uses many different examples of irony in this story to help explain a greater cause and effect towards the theme of the story. Kate Chopin and her excessive use of verbal, situational, and dramatic irony throughout her stories help to depict different events that occur in search of a deeper meaning.

Five minutes more would be nice. Five minutes more is all I need to stay awake.

The 1800’s. A time of elitism, frilly dresses, and unfortunately...sexism. Kate Chopin was a young feminist writer who had a lot to say about sexism and chose to speak her mind through literature. The Story of an Hour, which was written in 1894, is a tale about a woman with a weak heart being told with the sudden news that her husband has died, and while at first she is rather upset, she soon realizes that she wasn’t happy with him at all, and that now that he was gone she was finally free to live her life with a man controlling her. But then it turns out that he is actually alive, and after seeing him walk through the door she dies from shock. This story is an example of Situational Irony and Dramatic Irony, and this essay will explain it.

My mother would start the mornings with a “Levantese que hay mucho que hacer”, in translation, “Wake up there is so much to do today”. Every day, the wakeup call was at 5:30 in the morning and it started with a list of chores. Occasionally, we would sleep until 7:30 in the morning on the weekends to more chores and whatever else was on the list. My mother was regimental and the “A” typical Latina mother, very old school. Not a day went by where my brother and me didn’t do chores and helped around the house. Lord forbit that she would have to repeat herself twice on our individual chores. She constantly reminded me that one day I would become a wife and would have to know how to take care of my family, “A man does not like a lazy wife and you would want to stay married to the same man you have exchanged vowels with”, she would say. Seeing that she was remarried two times already, I did not understand why she would expect it from me. None -the-less, I did what I was told and without any galivanting I accomplished every task assigned to me.

This 48-hour experience makes me addicted to eating ice cube, and even drink liquid that can not do without ice. I never thought that people would be so addicted to a thing so quickly, and it would have been unknowingly. Assume that the ice is "drug of choice", it has two disadvantages. First, as long as you take it will continue to rely on it. Second, the impact on the people around you, others do not understand you even feel your behavior is very strange. Once you are forced to rely on one thing, you will want a variety of ways to get it.

In the short story “The Story of an Hour”, by Kate Chopin, the episode begins with the exposition. It is the story about a dynamic character, Mrs. Mallard, who is given the horrible news of her husband’s death in a railroad disaster. Overwhelmed by her husband’s immediate death, she suddenly rushes in her bedroom. Here we see a different side of Mrs. Mallard’s attitude. Mrs. Mallard portrays herself as a coin. Mrs. Mallard, the protagonist, is a weak hearted, independent and selfish woman who has two different attitudes just as two different faces of same coin in the entire plot.
