Norton

A few pages to my final project came from our book, "The Norton Introduction To Literature". I chose to write about The Story of an Hour, by Kate Chopin, which is about a woman whose husband was killed in a railroad disaster and her sister is there to help her every step of the way. Another great story that fits into my category of love is, How, by Lorrie Moore. Both of those are fiction stories that do not have all of the elements for a complete story, but are great anyway, and allow the reader to connect with the text. I have also selected two poems to include in this project. The first, Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, by W.H. Auden. A man dies and it might be assumed that the speaker is a lover, due to the detailed emotional state that the speaker expresses. Finally, I chose the poem, Sex without Love, by Sharon Olds. This poem is about someone who can't possibly understand how two people can make love, without being in love.
