Reflection Paper On The Story Of An Hour

I chose to do a video/music project because it is something that I enjoy doing. I also think that it is one of the ways I am good at expressing myself. Some of the photos used in the video are from my wedding and others are from various mountainous locations I’ve hiked. The music I used not only expresses what I wanted to get across in the video but also what I listen to all the time.

At some point that love was lost because Mr. Mallard suffocated his wife’s will/her emotions. We don’t see how he did this but the sister, the friend, and everyone else seem oblivious to this. But it wasn’t all ultimately for nothing. Her weakness, her poor health saved her. The whole story focuses on her heart and how it can’t be overburdened, but the thing that kills her is the thought of freedom to choose her future getting taken away from her. It is that behind the scenes, between the lines, relationship that is so important. It was a pain that was so horrible and so hidden that everyone mistook it for joy. All of this makes her death freeing because once her husband is shown alive that is her only way
