Women are taught from a young age that marriage is the end all be all in happiness, in the short story “The Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin and the drama “Poof!” by Lynn Nottage, we learn that it is not always the case.

As I have come to learn, theme is much more than a distilled retelling of a story. Theme gives a story a deeper meaning. The

The Short Story Analysis Short stories can share themes, motifs, symbols, consequences, and plot lines, even if there is never any intention to share a common element between the stories.

long as it takes. The star I seek has a power to grant anyone who obtains it a wish, when I was a child. I had heard stories about the star how an enchanting golden light surrounds it, as if it had fallen from the heavens and the air around had become thick and sweet.

a little back story for you, so long story short… It was a year ago I visited here and met Clement Perez. I was new and had nowhere to live, she offered a place and I took it. Long story short she ended up going to a mental hospital for being exceedingly crazy and trying to hurt many people including myself. I stepped outside and let the sun soak up inside me.

In the story of Maus, guilt is portrayed in many different ways throughout the entirety of the story. We not only see guilt through Vladek as a post survivor of the Holocaust but also through Artie as he learns what happened during the times that his dad suffered through his past. Does the evidence of guilt from the characters in the story of Maus negatively affect the relationship between Artie and Vladek?
