I think the message is when one door closes another door opens. As read in the passage an old Japanese woman was walking around many small villages seeking a place to rest for the night. Everyone opened their doors to the elderly woman but denied her a place to stay for the night. After having no success with the people of the villages she decided

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. The attitude of the author towards the character of Mrs. Mallard varies with differing views on love and marriage. To me‚ the story depicts marriage as a loss of freedom.

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.
