Suffering from heart trouble, Mrs. Mallard had to be told the news gently and with great care. Hinting around the subject, Josephine and her husband, Richard, told her the upsetting news. Immediately, Mrs. Mallard wept floods of tears. In the solitude of being alone in her room, Mrs. Mallard stared out the open second story window; she heard a street peddler, and saw the blue sky piercing the clouds. Sitting motionless with a calm, fair appearance, she showed repression and strength. Moreover, with a dull stare in her eyes, Mrs. Mallard’s gaze fixed on one of the patches of blue sky; something was coming towards her. Nevertheless, fearfully, she waited for it; she felt it creeping out of the sky, and consequently, through the sounds, scents, and color that filled the air, it reached towards her. Starting to realize what was approaching, she tried to beat it back; her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. Abandoning herself, a little word escaped her lips, “ Free;” Her vacant stare and look of terror disappeared from her eyes, they were now keen and bright. Accordingly, with coursing blood and her pulse beating fast, she felt warm and

6. Title - Who are the interlopers in the story? In what way are they interlopers?
The Story of an Hour and The Interlopers are both interesting stories about death. Both stories contain the subject of death but The Interlopers is suspenseful while The Story of an Hour is just sad. Even though The Story of an Hour and The Interlopers are written on two different topics they are still similar, but they both have their differences. In the story The Interlopers death is an event that no one wants or expects to happen. In the story of an hour death is a surprise but it is not unnatural.
"The Interlopers" an "The story of an hour" are both very eventful short stories. The characters and setting of both stories have big life changing decisions. There is a lot of differences but there is also a lost of similarities.
“The Interlopers” and “The Story of an Hour” both have some similarities and some differences between them. They both start out as completely different stories, but further into the stories, it is easier to find the similarities between the two. The main storylines are nothing alike. The settings of the two are completely different, such as both stories have happiness before they die, which in both stories they do in fact die; and while one deals with physical struggle and the other with emotional, they both contain emotional resolutions. However, they share similarities in terms of use of irony and also the ending of each story.
At first glance; Adolph Myers of Sherwood Anderson’s, “Hands”, and Louise Mallard of Kate Chopin’s, “The Story of an Hour”, would not seem to have anything in common. Adolph Myers is an outcast school teacher in 1919; Louise Mallard is a housewife with a heart condition in 1894. After reading each story, the similarities become clearer; both have secrets they have not shared, both are truly alone, and both are betrayed by their own bodies.
The “interlopers” is a brief story between two families, an argument between two males for three generations. A devastation between Ulrich and Georg, two strong enemies. This ponderous feud has been unpredictable and had brought aftermaths including punches and chaos. The other conflict is the nature of the story, severe raw weather. The realism is that both men, were the intruders of the forest in the story.

Thesis statement: The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin has a unique and intelligent concept, but is defeated by lack of story building and a rushed, badly constructed ending. The Interlopers by Saki has a much more basic premise, but uses natural storytelling elements to create seamless story progression and a more powerful message.
