The Story of an Hour was about a lady who thought she lost her husband. Her husbands friend, Richards was there when he saw the list of all who had been killed in the railroad accident. He had to check twice to make sure Mr. Mallard was dead. Mrs. Mallards sister Josephine is the one that broke the news to her. Mrs. Mallard went up to her room and was looking ou the window and saw something in the sky that brought back memories of her life. She was accepting her husbands death untill she was coming down the stairs and saw that someone was opening the door and she saw it was her husband. Her husbandsa friend tried to block her view but she caught the sight. Mrs. Millard died of heart disease of joy that kills.

My reaction to this story at first was confusion. I had to read it three times before I understood. When the lady was accepting her husbands death she goes and dies because her husband was alive. I didnt care for the story to much but I like how they had that twist at the end although it wasnt that good but it was ok. I myself like happy endings but sometimes a not so happy ending can be ok.
