late 1800s and the early 1900s‚ the US became much more involved in world affairs. In other words‚ they were becoming a world power. This meant many things‚ many changes. In the 1880s‚ the US was still known as a minor county‚ a nation known to play only a small role in world affairs. Before the start of intervening in other nations‚ the US had followed a policy of isolationism‚ or having little to do with the political affairs of other nations. This was advised by George Washington in his Farewell

In both stories the characters found out how babies can be a deciding factor in a relationship‚ and that’s what I will be focusing on. In “Desiree’s Baby” the morale of the story is “we often

The author used several plays on word that succintly imply the matters at hand. The first thing we see is her description of the main character’s condition as "heart trouble"- what sort of trouble exactly is her heart going through? We later realize it was more than just a muscle not working optimally. There is also a detachment from points of views in the story. What the reader understands about the main character may not be exactly what is meant to be understood. Only the main character knows
