But then she goes on saying that she will count the ways‚ which is a contradiction against her first line. In the rest of the poem she is explaining how much she loves. In the second line she says “I love thee to the depth & breath &

The short story I picked was “The Giant House”‚ written by Elizabeth McCraken. The theme of the story is the tall people looked twice as big as the ambassador from the normal-sized‚ as if they were an entirely different race.

The three elements of the story that I choose to write
