Dear Father,

 

Everything at Indian camp was difficult to understand, although I was curious to peek, yet I was too disturb to look at the old lady giving birth. I was shook I’ve never encountered a woman on labor. On page #19 “do ladies always have a hard time giving birth” , I was extremely confused, because of the scream and the pain she was going through physically. As I was reading “The Story Of An Hour”, I thought of such an experiences with you. While the lady was plotting on how to live her life without her husband, she saw nature through the window as she seat and it inspired her to live. On page #19 “the sun coming up over the hills , a bass jumped making a circle in the water”, after all I experienced today, it felt like that was a sign of a fresh start
and a new day .

Sincerely, your son Nick

Thus stories “The Story Of An Hour” and “Indian Camp”, share a crazy plot twist where both Miss. Mallard and Nick felt death really close to themselves. They also encounter horrific situation where Miss. Mallard found her husband alive and on his feet after opening the door and Nick seeing the indian committing suicidal. Likewise, through it all it felt like joy to Nick seeing the indian and her child surviving. Although it caused her death Miss. Mallard also felt a joy of seeing her husband once again.
