my position paper

What would you do if you have an affair with your next door “hot” mom, or handsome husband? What is you reaction when your adulterous act have been revealed by the society? My position paper entitled ‘The Storm’ by Kate Chopin. The story involves two families, which include Bobinot, Calixta, and Bibi, as well as Alcee, Clarisse, and their babies. At the beginning of the story, Calixta is alone at home waiting for her husband while doing household. Everything is calm and Calixta doesn’t even realize it is raining. However, when Alcee asks for a shelter in Calixta’s house, the rain suddenly beat upon the low. The setting of the story changes from outdoor to indoor as the storm increases quickly and thus drives Alcee into the house. This has also led to the readers’ anticipation that they will have an affair during the storm.

Kate Chopin uses her feminist view points to show that a woman speak with exceptional openness about human sexuality. The woman in the story, who has buried her emotional with house chore, tend to one night stand with her ex- boyfriend, but end up with no negative consequence. So in my opinion, I was thinking whether can make a stand that can support the adultery act. In a nut shell, I choose my title as adultery is a natural phenomenon and does not necessarily have negative consequence
