reflcetion #4 Decisions

So I couldn't asist class this week like I would've liked,but I did read the short stories,so I'm going to emphasize on what I learned about them.Lets start with The Storm,typical story about an affair which is obvious in the story.The whole plot takes place when a storm comes up and M'sieur Alcee seeks refuge in Calixta's Gallery. Seems like they both had a little history in the past and had a clash between the storm. I think the story is called The Storm,because that's what the lovers where feeling inside of them when they were doing their dirt.So,the Storm ends and M'sieur Alcee rides away Calixta's family returns to the gallery telling her all about the storm and how they spent it in a store.I guess the main characters are Calixta and Alcee and the whole plot is the affair they're having together.What did we learn?That in older times people use to cheat and still cheat.That sacret vow we take when we get married always gets broken in our society and it's good to know that in older times people were just as screwed up as they are now,only thing they get to ride away in a horse, we leave in a corrolla.There's some humor in the story if you read carefully.

Ok, Eveline is a young girl who sees her life passing by.She's a person afraid to take risk and make decisions.The story gets twisted when she has to make a choice whether to stay with her family or flee to another country with a sailor.At the end she is to afraid to make that decision and decides to stay with her family.Eveline was abused by her dad when she was small,her mom and brother died,so you can say she had a bad childhood and that's what made her so afraid of life.Now a day there's people who live behind their own shadow and are terrified to make a stand for themselves. Eveline is just another story telling us to stand up and learn from her mistakes.

Personal Opinion
Liars,cheaters have always been in our society since the begging of times,I think people have to learn how to be loyal.Start over, because no one can win with the purple properties,everyone wants the blue ones(joke=nothing to do with the stories.
Stand up and Shout,everyone is entitled to freedom of speech and we have to use it.
I've always been a loud mouth,but in a good way, I think everybody should learn how to defend themselves verbally.What I'm saying is to get educated,learn about the world and not be satisfied with you have and always look for more.That's just the way I think and encourage others to do the same.
