"The Story of an Hour"
This story was basically about a woman whos husband "died". Whan she founf out that he died, she was not happy, she was kind of sad. She went inside of a room to start crying , but while she was in the room she didnt cry at all she was happy. Happy that her husband was "dead", she was filled with joy. She was in the room for an hour until finally her sister was at the door pounding on it telling her to get out of the room. The woman cam out of the room and went with her sister to the front room. They were in the front room when a man came in and siad that he was home. When the woman heard the mans voice she turned to him and was shocked to see that it was her husband, and just died right there in front of him and her sister.
My reaction to this story was me being shocked because i didn't know that someone could die of shock like that. At the same time i thought it was kind of funny becuase the woman just died right there in front of her husband and sister, looking confused. I think what this story is trying to tell us is to be careful what we wish for because we just might get it, only no the way you want it to be. I liked this story

"The Blind Man"
This story is about a man who is blind. Everyone that s around this guy always ignores him they act like he doesn't even exsist. It is really about the poor vs rich becuase the only thing that the people care about in this story is the rich guy that lives in the neighbohood. The Blind guy was crossing the road and the rich guy that was crossing the road got run over. The thing that i think the story is trying to tell us not to judge people the way they are. I thought this story was ok
