ENG 130 Colorado State University MOD2 The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin HW OPTION #2: SETTING, POINT OF VIEW, CONFLICT

Choose one of the short stories in the required reading.

Reflect and respond to one of the short stories you read by selecting one of the following prompts:

A story would be very different if it were told in the first person. Consider a piece of literature and discuss how it would be different if it were told in the first person.
Conflict in a work of literature is the struggle between opposing characters or opposing forces. One type of conflict is character vs. character. Explain this type of conflict or any conflict noted in the course content using one of the short stories you read in this module.
Another type of conflict is called character vs. nature. Using a short story that you read in this module, explain how the author uses this type of conflict.
A third type of conflict is called character vs. him/herself. This is also referred to as internal conflict, because the character must face self-inflicted fears and problems. Write about this type of conflict using a short story you read in this module.
