Falling In Love Kate Chopin
1,121 wordsIn the short story Dsire's Baby, by Kate Chopin, surprise plays a very important role. Although the story has a surprise ending it can still have a second look with interest.

Leaves The Reader Reader Feels
921 wordsSpring in Fialta's opening line, Spring in Fialta is cloudy and dull, (Nabokov 413) is quite an atypical beginning for Nabokov. This line, coming from a man who is overly concerned with trifles, brings up many questions. Is Nabokov intentionally leaving out the trifles of Fialta here at the beginning? If so, why? Perhaps the answer to this question is that Nabokov intends for the line in question to be a double entendre referring to both the town and the story itself. On the narrative level, Nab...
