Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin

Having read the short story by Kate Chopin, develop a two paragraph blog posting in which you discuss the most interesting section of the story. Explain and discuss the specific technique that Chopin uses to develop this most interesting section of the story. Note that your response must NOT entail the ENTIRE story. The idea is to hone in on the author's CRAFT in developing the fiction.

In discussing craft, you may comment on the author's development of ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: narration, dialogue, syntax, diction, text structure, theme, moral etc.

Remember to respond to another student's posting in a very intuitive way. Responses that are merely summaries of what the person has written will result in a lower grade according to the Blog rubric.

YOU MUST REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR FULL NAME IN THE BLOG SO THAT THE TEACHER CAN ASSIGN THE RIGHT COMMENTS AND GRADES TO YOUR WORK!

Happy blogging!
