Regret by  Kate Chopin This story was first published in 1897 when it appeared in Chopin's short story collection  A Night in Acadia .   Taken from her A Night in Acadie collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Chopin may be exploring the theme of loss or at least the sense of loss that Mamzelle Aurélie feels in her life having never had children to love and cherish. It is also interesting that Chopin never mentions to the reader whether Mamzelle Aurélie has any friends.    The theme of commitment is self-evident in the story, most noticeably by the fact that all of Mamzelle Aurélie’s attention is on her farm. If anything at the beginning she considers the children’s arrival to be a hindrance to her daily duties and tasks. Though the more she grows fond of the children, the more she is able to show them the same commitment that she had previously shown to her land. I...

Do You Speak English? by Simon Collings Manuel had passed the fish on his way up the road. It was eighteen to twenty inches long and its silvery scales were covered with dirt. The gill flaps opened like two gash wounds on the sides of its head as it thrashed helplessly in the gutter. Next to it a boy leaned against the railings, his rod and line dangling out over the floating garbage and the stream of brown, stinking waste which trickled from a pipe in the wall below. The boy wore a faded pair of football shorts. He was perhaps nine or ten years old, barefoot and grubby, and his skin was marked with insect bites. The fish gasped, then made one last convulsive leap, throwing itself in the direction of the river, and landed on the pavement with a thud. There it lay motionless for a moment, exhausted no doubt by the effort. The boy looked down at it, turned and kicked it back into the gutter. Manuel had not paid much attention to the fish as he was preoccupied. He had just been to l...

Whenever the old man's eye looks at the narrator, the narrator's blood freezes. This has gotten to be too much for the narrator to ...

A Haunted Hous e by Virginia Woolf             Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure—a ghostly couple.             “Here we left it,” she said. And he added, “Oh, but here too!” “It’s upstairs,” she murmured. “And in the garden,” he whispered “Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”                But it wasn’t that you woke us. Oh, no. “They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two. “Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing ma...
