The Story of an Hour

1. This story was a good one, but a little confusing or strange. I don't understand how Brently Mallard could be identified as a person on the "killed" list if he was nowhere near the accident. He also didn't know there was even an accident that happened. Another thing that was puzzling to me was the thing that was coming towards her from the sky or whatever she was looking at. I thought that might have symbolized her husband coming to take her with him in death maybe, but by the end of the story I knew that wasn't it. Even though there was some confusion, this was an interesting read.

2. An alternate ending to this story could possibly be: the figure that is coming towards her from the sky could have been her husband's spirit coming to take her with him into death. She would die peacefully knowing that she's with her husband for eternity.
