Elements of English Literature Contrast Compare In literature, authors find different ways of expressing themselves by the stories they write. It is the setting, the characters, and the conflicts that keep the reader’s interest. Many readers are only interested in certain types of literature or certain authors. This study is based on an analysis of one poem, and two short stories, â€Å"A Rose for Emily† by William Faulkner, â€Å"A Story of an Hour† by Kate Chopin, and â€Å"To My Dear and Loving Husband† by Anne Bradstreet. Both the short stories and poem show some similarities and differences in their settings, characters, and conflicts. I will examine how the authors have made an impression on me as a reader and how I feel†¦show more content†¦Her sister is worried about her and is looking thru the key hole to make sure she is ok. She continues to call on her asking her to come out. Mrs. Mallard just wants her to go away. On her sisters insistence she gets up and meets her sister at the door. They both proceed down the stairs. When they arrived at the bottom of the stairs someone was opening the door with a key. To everyone’s surprise it was her husband, Brently, the man everyone thought was dead. At that moment, the last minute of the hour, Mrs. Mallard, at the shock of seeing her husband alive, dies of heart failure. The family was led to believe that Mrs. Mallard died at the joy and excitement of seeing her husband alive. The author leads us to believe that her death was caused by the grief of seeing her husband still alive and the thought she was no longer free. In â€Å"To My Dear and Loving Husband,† by Anne Bradstreet expresses so much love and imagery expressing the love she has for her husband. Anne came to America from England when she was 16 and here she married her husband Simon Bradstreet. Anne wrote this poem for her husband, whom was the Governor of Massachusetts in the early 1600’s and would have to travel the colonies and be gone for weeks at a time. Anne was the first female American Poet.
