The statistics are famous and unnerving. Most high-school graduates have spent more time watching television than they’ve spent in school.

enjoyed reading a story from an English textbook. One thing I found very curious was Mrs. Mallard heart trouble. I believe that her heart is symbol for a few things. Chopin talks about her heart issues at the beginning and the end of the story. The heart trouble affects Louise both physically and symbolically.
