The short story "The story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin we read in American Lit class. I wondered how and why this story was chosen because it didn't have much to do with my position statement. Mrs. Mallards husband or someone close to her has died and it gave her such great pain she passed away herself. "When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills" (Chopin 171). I think that it is sad but if it connected with my position statement she wouldn't have died she would have stayed stronger and try to live her life to the fullest before it was her actual time to go, because thats not what everyone expects her to do, its what would be the best for her and only her.
