You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…

For example, in Luke the women saw two men in dazzling garments appeared to them and told them that Jesus was not there for he had been raised. However the Gospel of Matthew provided different details, like after the angel has announced to the…
