From the Paper:

"Marriage is a phase in life that almost everyone will certainly consider. Is this the right woman for me? Is this the right man for me? Do I really want to spend the rest of my life with this person by my side? The controversial author Kate Chopin, in two of her works, "The Storm" and "The Story of an Hour," offers several arguments concerning marriage. She is attempting to persuade the reader to her way of thinking; however, her focus is too narrow and, thereby, turns this reader away because of her unorthodox opinions. "
