A story of an Hour
A lady by the name of Mrs. Mallard gets bad news one day. The bad news was the death of her husband. She was told the bad news from her sister and her husbands friend. When she was told the death of her husbands she wept with sadness. As she began to walk away to her room where she did not want any one to follow her she looks at a armchair facing a window.Out of grief and sadness she sits there and sinks down into the chair. To shorten things Mrs. Mallard was kind of happy that her husband had passed, because of things that happened in the past with the way he was treating her, But just when i actually thought things was over some other surprise came up. Her husband is not really dead. So when Brantley Mallard, Mrs. Mallard husband comes home and she realizes he hasn't been in an accident. It was to late Mrs. Mallard had passed away. Doctors say due to heart disease, of joy that kills. A social Issue that wanted to solve. Men should not miss treat women, this is a part of realism because this was and still is an issue for woman that needs to be solved and fixed. Till this day we still have social issues.
"The Battle with Mr. Covey"
One specific thing that points out in this story about slavery was; "You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man."Frederick Douglas the author of his writing wanted people to see that slavery was a problem, this is what you call realism which in this case we have a problem with slavery. This problem we have needs to be fixed. If this situation was left up to the romantics they would not want you to see the truth they would make it something of an imagination that's the difference between the two. Realist wanted to to see that this are things that are happening in real life that's actually going on; But Romantics wanted you to think differently like it was made up. Realism is focused the social part of life.But when it all falls down as a slave was treated he was getting beaten constantly until one day he got fed up with getting beaten and began to fight back but was unpublished because he was only 16 years old and his master MR. Covey didn't want a bad reputation. So for this he was never punished physically. He just remained a slave for four more years.A social Issue that needs to be solved:Is that black men and women were treated unequally . It needs to be solved to the point we are treated equally.This is a social problem because this was something that was really happening but was later fixed.
