We don 't know when will we leave this world, that’s why we should enjoy life everyday to the fullest that we can. If ever we feel doubt or alone, we should remember that we always have our friends or family to carry on. In the short story, I felt that Mrs. Mallard was afraid to be true to herself. She should have been a strong individual not only with her health, but also to the situation that she was having. We should always remember that, no matter what happens, we still have our family or friends to carry on in times of our troubles.
