The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin

This story was absolutely amazing, As i read along I could almost feel the emotions of the wife. reading, I was not sure if the relationship betweeen husband and wife had in fact been horrible or if she was just rejoicing that she would get herself back. due to marriage you do loose a little bit of yourself so i felt that was possible what she had been feeling but at the end her reaction to find hes alive i got the sense she was hurt. i truly wasnt expecting the story to end the way it did, but it definitely made the story worth reading.

The Lesson by Toni Cade Bambara

I truly enjoyed reading this story, it might be my favorite of the semester. It was simple to read, yet remained fruitful. I believe the gist of the story is a teacher takes her students on a trip downtown to F.A.O. Schwarz to teach them " a lesson". At first everyone is kind of timid and no one wants to go in first...then mercedes breaks the ice and goes in. Once the students are in the store they began to realise the price tags and how everything in their eyes in over priced, although from the window they seemed to want it. None of the students particularly like the teacher ms.moore, but i think at the end they have a bit of understanding. In the beginning sylvia goes on about how she has perfect speech and always dresses well, but she says it in away like shes annoyed. At the end of the story you can tell sugar has a slight change of heart and is interested in learning but sylvia is almost mad at her for it. Whats funny is sylvia herself goes and wants think about how the day went and you get the since she wants something better for herself.
