story of an hour poem - 1160 Words

Jose Cuellar English 1302-65001 Professor Darius Frasure 24 June 2013 The Story of an Hour Women have come a long way since 1900s.That was my response to the story â€Å" The Story of an Hour†. To story also let me know how important women are to this world but importantly to men. Before I go ahead with my personal response of the story. I want to give a background on the story because l feel like it will let one know where I’m coming from or know how I got my personal response. Kate Chopin wrote â€Å"The story of an hour† in 1894. We are talking about a good 200 years ago. Back then women didn’t have much of voice or anything. Women were born to sever their husbands and stand on their side no matter what. It’s not like today were if†¦show more content†¦Lets say Brently had died that day what was Louise going to do? Its not like she can get a job and take care of her self and theirs two reasons why. One! She was a woman and they didn’t have any rights in those times. Black men were able to vote first than white women. That tells you a lot of how things were back then. The second reason is Louise had a heart condition and one had to be very careful with her. So I guessing she couldn’t do any hard labor or be stress. That’s why I don’t understand her. It might because I am male and I cant really see it from a female point of view. Maybe that’s why I can’t really see why Louise is full of joy because of her husband death. Also another thing I wonder was if she had heart attack because she was happy or sad that Brently was alive? I also wonder if Kate wrote this because she was going through personally? This story also lets me see how far women have come in this country. While in other countries in the world remain the same. America has made it to where men and women are equal as possible. Today we have women in the Supreme Court and Congress. Not to mention in the army too. Women today can be independent and do what ever they want. Some women take care of their husband and kids. Image you ask someone in the 1900s if that was possible they will probably look at you and laugh their butts off. But I truly respect women and believe us men aren’t anything with out them.

The message in this poem is we take life for granted and we don’t appreciate it until we are threatened with losing it. Emily used what seems to me as free verse with no apparent rhyme but alliteration at times. This is a Narrative poem that tells a story about a death of a young woman. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;In the first verse Dickinson was saying when she wrote, â€Å"The last NightRead MorePoetic Imagery: Mi Abuelo by Alberto Rios898 Words   |  3 PagesOut of the three poems, the first two hardly had but one or two symbols throughout. They were so short, that they hardly had enough time to get but a small message across to the reader, or atleast that s how I saw it. However, Alberto Rios s Mi Abuelo had many images which made my brain tingle with excitement for writing this paper. Besides the fact that it had the most imagery, it also was the most interesting and best imagery in my opinion. The poem starts out with Rios indirectly pointingRead More Daystar by Rita Dove Essay1120 Words   |  5 Pages Rita Doves poem Daystar talks about a woman who is both a wife and a mother and who is exhausted by her daily tasks.

Fantasy and reality is the backbone of these two poems and is utilized brilliantly to distort the readers mode of thinking and imposes the alerting question of what is believable and true in contrast to whats hidden and fabricated within the kernel of these two poems.
