"The Story of an Hour" Kate Chopin (1894) Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death. It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window. Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. "Free!

The Story of an Hour Summary Because Louise Mallard suffers from a heart condition, her sister Josephine gently and carefully gives her the news of her husband’s death. Mr. Richards, a close friend of her husband, Brentley Mallard, and the first to learn of the tragic railroad accident that claimed Mallard’s life, has accompanied Josephine to help soften what they know will be a cruel blow. Louise falls, sobbing, into her sister’s arms, then retreats upstairs to her room. Josephine, who begs Louise to let her in, would be shocked if she knew what thoughts were racing through her sister’s mind. Indeed, although she initially hesitates to admit to herself that she is not distressed, she begins to repeat one word: “free.” Finally, she yields to her sister’s repeated pleas to unlock her bedroom door.
Literably Is An Excellent Reading Site — If Used With Caution Reader Erika Chapman tipped me off to an excellent site called Literably. It allows students to read a text and have it automatically assessed for accuracy and words-per-minute speed. Plus, and this is what was most surprising to me, it also provides a fairly accurate indentification of student errors — in other words, what word they said instead of the word in the text. It’s extraordinarily easy to use. As I have already mentioned, the site seems remarkably accurate based on my testing, and I’ll have my students try it out later today. I’ve previously posted about how I have had students record their reading of the same text several times during the year as a self-assessment, using tools from The Best Sites To Practice Speaking English list. And, now, for my cautions…. A words per minute number can be dangerous if students are just racing through the words. I’m adding Literably to several “The Best” lists, including: The Best Sites To Practice Speaking English
