The story begins with a storm approaching Louisiana, and the setting takes place at Friedheimer’s store and at Calixta and Bobinot home. The story's stage is set with Bibi (Calixta's son), and Bobinot (her husband) at the store where the store is slowly approaching. Meanwhile, at home Calixta runs into Alcee Laballiere (her former lover) who she had not seen for a very long time and offers him shelter from the storm.

In the poem the writer is also in conflict with herself as she has left her motherland Guyana to move to England. At first the poet dreaded England but as soon as there was news of a Hurricane she began to feel much at home as hurricanes happen often in the southern equator. The writer shows her relationship with the hurricane by referring to it as her ‘sweeping a back home cousin’. At the end of the poem the writer resolves her problem which is her conflict with herself as she misses her homeland ‘Come to let me know that the earth is the earth’. The similarities of the poems are that they both involve the same situation which is conflict with another culture.
In "The Hunchback in the Park" the writer directly tells us that the character is lonely and doesn't have anyone that loves him because of his appearance and this is shown by saying ' A woman figure without fault Straight as a young elm Straight and tall from his crooked bones That she might stand in the night After the locks and chains'. In the previous sentence the idea of loneliness is emphasized by the conditional tense which suggest the insecurity of the character towards the girl because he doesn't know whether she's going to accept him or not. The absence of punctuation and irregular, inconsistent rhyme in the whole poem could also reflect a lack of stability in the life of the "hunchback". Either of the poems show that the characters are isolated from the society but this isolation is due to different reason, for the first poem the segregation is due to an accident that has caused Alison's head injury whilst in the second poem the loneliness is due to a native reason that cannot be changed. Both poems
It takes time for the clouds to form and become a deadly force. This is exactly the situation with Lear and his anger. At first, he felt betrayed by Goneril not allowing for his 100 men.

Then, once banished outside, Lear, just like the storm, unleashed.
Marilynne Robinson’s novel Housekeeping Introduction In this paper, it will be discussed Marilynne Robinson’s novel Housekeeping, and a literary criticism relying on secondary sources to explore the work of this novelist. Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and Lucille, two sisters who, after their mother's suicide, cared for by a succession of female relatives, finally and most unconventionally by their mother's youngest sister, Sylvie, a wanderer who returns home to attend to her nieces with a peculiar notion of housekeeping. Sylvie's unorthodox mothering--fanciful, impractical clothes; late-night suppers in the dark; a house overrun with newspapers, small animals, and leaves--inspires the conventional Lucille to abandon aunt and sister for a more traditional life with the Home Economics teacher and eventually induces the townspeople to attempt to remove Ruthie from her aunt's iconoclastic care. It is the threat of separation that forces the pair across the bridge. "It is a terrible thing to break up a family," Ruthie offers as an explanation for their flight from civilization; her statement is as well Robinson's articulation of her deviation from the myth of the unencumbered American hero.

Alfred Ojediran 056629132 Professor Danicki EAC 150BC The theme of Kate Chopin’s “The Storm’ In Kate Chopin’s short story “The storm”, we see the author describe the feminine repression set by the constraint of the society through the treatment of adultery. The story starts with Bobinὂt and Bibi at the store, waiting for the storm to start. Bobinot decides to buy a can of shrimps, which are a form of natural aphrodisiac, while the storm starts and “it shook the wooden store and seemed to be ripping great furrows in the distance field” (paragraph five). The second part of the story starts with Calixta at home waiting for her husband Bobinot and her young son Bibi. She decides to run out and gather the clothes outside before the storm starts when she sees Alcee Laballiere riding his horse and seeking for shelter from the storm.
It is clear from Chopin’s writing style that she sympathizes with her female character, makes no moral judgment regarding Calixta’s actions, and leads the reader through the action so as to come to a similar conclusion. Chopin uses the image of a storm to create apprehension and represent emotional turmoil and the reader can sense the mounting tension throughout the story thanks to the imagery Chopin uses, “ … somber clouds that were rolling with sinister intention from the west, accompanied by a sullen, threatening roar”. We first see the storm through the eyes of Calixta’s husband Bobinôt and young son Bibi. Bobinôt and Bibi recognize that the storm could pose a threat, if they challenge its existence, but if they wait it out, they will be fine, “… the storm bursts. It shook the wooden store and seemed to be ripping great furrows in the distant field.
