Life Stuggles

We all have struggles in our life. We can relate to each others struggles and help lift others up. When I started reading The Story Of An Hour by Kate Chopin I was shocked and upset with all the story that a poor lady had to hear from friends and family her husband died in a train accident. Then as I read on, Chopin describes how happy the woman is overcome with great joy because she is now free. She became free to live her life the way she wanted to, and not have anyone there to oppress her. I connect with this character because a lot of times I feel that I have to do thing to make others happy. This story was real to me. I enjoy reading stories that are realistic and happen in people's every day life. While reading a book about a weirdo girl who is in love with a vampire and a werewolf is considered a form of entertainment, it's not realistic. I believe that when an author writes about struggles that happen everyday, it helps the reader gain a strong connection to the characters and brings out emotions in the reader.
