The Story of an Hour is a piece of literature that can be interpreted in to many different ways. Kate Chopin tells the reader in the beginning that Louis Mallard was afflicted with a heart problem.

It also shows the kind of domination men had over their women in that period of time. This story is set in a time (late 1800’s)

Toy Story I believe you presented Toy Story to us to show the personalities of the toys are a lot more complex and for the class to relate what we have been learning in class. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. I believe the team work that Woody and Buzz created can be applied to how two different people can work together to achieve
