Week 10 Honors English

I might choose the following author for my year long author project because I like how Kate Chopin describes her characters. She uses the word cynical and I also like how she uses the word nor. I thought her short story The Kiss was very well written. I really like how in the end the girl gets told that she can't have her lover and she can only have her husband. This is the way it should be and that is how it ended up. The girl got taught that you can't always get what you want.
Another short story called The Story of an Hour was written by her too. I thought it was ok but could have had a better ending. The poor girl lost her husband and was so happy she died of heart failure. It's kind of funny how that happened. They didn't want to tell her that he died because she has a weak heart. Then her sister told her and she was so happy, then someone found her dead.
Another story I read was Desiree's Baby. I thought this was a very interesting story. This was about a young girl who fell in love and married a well off man. He owned slaves and had them pck cotton for him. He did not treat then very well, untill he met Desiree. They had a baby and this baby grew very fast. You find out latter on that the baby was of a diffrent race and the father blamed it on Desiree. He said " you're not white." At the end you find out that the father of the baby was half black. I liked this story. This happened back in that time period a lot, this story is very realistic.
Kate Chopin writes the ism realism. She does this very well, I felt like these stories were very real. The life lessons jump out at you, they are easily learned. Over all I enjoy her writing very much and I am pretty sure that I will study this author for my year long project.
