Compare two short stories where the characters face difficult

In the short stories “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, are stories about women who suffer from different conditions, but are very similar. In “The Story of an Hour” the main character suffers from an unknown heart condition, and becomes very detached from her husband. In “The Yellow Wallpaper” the main character suffers from a psychological condition, and is taken care of by her husband John but slowly grows away from his care. While these women may have very different situations, they are very similar in the way they grow away from their husbands, feeling oppressed by society, and wanting to feel free.

The main reason that these stories are alike, are that they relate to women. Whether you are a daughter, or a wife, changes are you can relate to

In the story "Two Kinds" the mother and daughter both want the same thing for the daughter to have comfortable life but have different beliefs on how this will be achieved. I have sympathy for the Mother because all she truly desires is for her daughter to have the opportunities and life she never had. The mother putting her hopes and dreams causes to the daughter feel like she will is not good enough. The reader can get good depiction of her misery when she thinks “my mother's disappointed face, something inside me began to die.” her mother’s hopes are causing her to have insecurities. Even though both the mother and daughter have valid points I have more sympathy for the daughter. I know from personal experience what the weight of carrying

Today I will be comparing the experiences between two young people growing up in Australia. The two stories are "The Left Hander" by Oodgeroo Noonuccal and "Destiny" by Shalini Akhil. One is about a girl who wants to become Wonder Women but she has to alternate it because she is indian (Destiny) and the other is about a girl who always used her left hand but when she was noticed to use it, she was punished(The Left Hander) . Both authors focus on two memoirs Clash of Culture and Belonging v isolation, However these have different perspectives, "The Left Hander's" Perspective is negative whereas 'Destiny' has a positive perspective. "The Left Hander's" setting is during school, the girl was just sewing in the classroom and after the teacher saw she was punished. "Destiny's" setting is at home with the persons grandma talking about an alternate way of being wonder women. Both texts

I want to tell you a short story about hard times and tough decisions. There was a man and women who I knew very well that were deeply in love, young and stupid. They were introduced to selling drugs, and at the time they thought it was a good idea, and did not think of the consequences. But the money the two were bringing in meant they could not afford to stop. They one day the two went out to a party to sell the drugs. At the party they sold it to the wrong guy who just so happened to be an undercover cop. The two got arrested and were sentenced to 90 days in jail to think what they have done. The two were not allowed to see each other for six months but they were so lost without each other. After the sentencing and their time apart, they both vowed not to ever put each other in danger and harm’s way again, but because of their actions it became harder for them to find good paying jobs and they slowly started to live in poverty. The reason why I told you this short story is because no matter how rough life is, do not resort to crime or drugs. There is always a better path to follow.

Because of parents, one can never fall. "Why I live at the P.O." by 'Eudora Welty' and "Everyday Use" by 'Alice Walker' forced me to wonder how parents can choose between their children whom to love, support and give more preference as parents are considered for their unbiased love towards their babies. The point of view, tone, and plot of both stories show that Sister is bold, more clear, independent and, undeviating regarding her behavior, and what she wants, and has no fear to confront anyone against her even upon banished by her family than Maggie, whose fear overpowers her.

It seems that the stories main focus is on the couple, and the depression they both contain, yet will not reveal. The mother is described as a kind and selfless widow, who puts all her efforts into caring for her son. As a result of everything going on in her life, she lost her ambition and motivation to get herself ready. The mother felt that kind of effort was “ludicrous”, and “went out into the world like an Amish women” (chapter 2). Despite her attempts to obtain normalcy and bring her son back home, her efforts failed and she was left unfulfilled. Altogether, the third person narrative gives a wider perspective, and all of the characters thoughts and feelings are being

When birds fly, or “lose the run”; they slip out of the physical world and into an unknown realm. The speaker recognizes that there is something strange that occurs when something is no longer grounded, when “tern prints on snow…almost lead somewhere, but then break off and stutter” (Groarke, 56, lines 18-20). The birds that were on the earth have left without a trace; they are the only beings that are capable of breaking free from the barrier that the sky has created. Flight, therefore, directly suggests “a refusal to connect to the world…and suggest new aesthetic departures” (Collins, 214). In this way, it seems as though Groarke has been able to answer the question she poses in ‘Quill’ in the affirmative: the feather and blood of a bird, or birds in general, possess mystical power that no other being

The narrator and parent’s point of view are different in each story. Each story has their own point of view to it from the characters. For example, for the story Confetti Girl the narrators point of view is to not listen to her dad and she does not read. This story explained that the narrator does not want to listen to her dad and she wants to take the easy way out and not to read. Each story has their different point of view for the narrator and the parent. Both narrators point of view is to disagree with their parents and do what they want, and the parents point of view is that they need to do what is best for the family.

The stories each have to deal with women who are oppressed and seeking freedom. Each story is coming from the point of view of the women. The stories are all very similar in certain ways, but they are also all very different in other ways. The differences divide them, but the similarities bring them together as one for the

The tone of this story is one of fear, regret, and guilt. The story first leaves the reader with impression that it may be a recount of the life of a daughter who was lost due to neglect. Soon it is evident

In the short story “Girl” the mother sent her a list of things and how to do them, this is an instruction the mother wrote on the list, “Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap, wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry.” by sending this letter to her daughter she wants her to have something to give her advice on being a grown up and learning how to do things like cook, clean, etc. In the short story “If” the father is giving his son advice on overcoming bullies. For example a quote from “If”, “If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: hold on!” Shows how his father is giving him advice to help him overcome bullies. As you can tell both short stories have a similar theme of your parents will always be there to give you

To begin with, both stories similarly share the struggle of having immigrant parents, yet both protagonists manage to develop their own identities along their way to achieving success. In The Loudest Voice, Shirley Abramowitz faces her mother who is against the idea of her participating in “, a creepy pogrom, that our children learn a lot of lies.”, which is simply a Christmas play for kids. Shirley states that she “saw [her] embarrassed mother.” who doesn’t support

Both short stories are narrated by one person throughout each of their own separate short stories. Both must divulge their own fantasies about their own stories and use great about of descriptions and imagery that make you feel the mood of the story. In the other places, the narrator talks about the violent drawing his son has been making and connects it to his own violent tendencies to when he was young. “Mostly, though, he draws pictures of men holding guns, or men hanging from nooses. Or men cutting up other men with chainsaws- in these pictures there are no faces, just figures holding chainsaws and figures being cut in two, with blood spraying out” (). This imagery told by the narrator in the story shows the violence of his child and the lack empathy he shows, but the father isn’t as effected as he should be by his sons lack of empathy. In the story “Rape

Imagine someone not being in control of their life and not being able to speak up. The story “The Leaving” is about a woman who is tasked with maintaining a family of 7 including herself. This task is very difficult for her because the family is very poor, there is no running water and the only help she receives is from her young daughter Sylvie. The story “Same Story, Different Ending” is about a woman who decided to marry a man against the will of her family. Resulting in her family trying to kill her in the name of “family honor”. Both of these stories show men with more authority than women, but in both stories, the women managed to achieve their goals and improve their lives.
