When just glancing over this you may think that in saying she has heart trouble, it is actually telling you she has heart disease or something close to it. But, in fact Chopin wants her readers to know that Mrs. Mallard “has a very specific condition that interferes with the workings of her heart” (Hicks). As we read on we later realize that her heart condition being described is that her marriage hasn’t allowed her to “live for herself” (Chopin 15). Crying is part of her life with Mr. Mallard, but soon disappears as she becomes an independent woman. Mrs. Mallard cries for almost the whole story, only stopping when her new freedom crosses her mind.
Infectious diseases are those that are amongst many in society that are killing thousands of people. “Infectious diseases kill thousands: Ontario study,” is an article found in the Metro newspaper published on December 14, 2010. This article presents a study on various top diseases that kill people every year. Within the article the reader is presented with the different types of diseases and the number of deaths resulting from these diseases, the purpose of this study and the solution for these occurrences.

The daughter explains the state that her father is in by using the word “slipping”, this is relevant because it helps the reader to quickly conclude that the old doctors’ life will shortly be coming to an end. When reading this poem it is clear to see that the once agile young doctor is now an old fragile man, whose life is being taken away from him. “Years, like/ pickpockets, lift his concentration, /memory, fine sense of direction.” (3-5) this quote is the daughter explaining how her father’s life is leaving him, like someone stealing from your pockets and your mind. The daughter talks about her father’s health, and how his own two feet can barely hold him up as he ages, “the leg that weakens will/ barely support him…” (L.2-3).In addition to the fathers life coming to an end, the daughter also uses a metaphor to describe the condition he is in, “The car,/ as he drives, drifts from lane to lane/ like a raft on a river, speeds and slows/ for no reason, keeps missing turns.” (6-8).This is a fabulous metaphor because not only does it describe his health, suggesting that her father is like the raft which is drifting away from life, with no sense of direction, but this also shows the reader that he can no longer safely and consciously drive because of his age. In order to
In an effort to comfort his wife, the husband places "his hand's light quiver by her head" (line two). Because his hand "quivers", the diction in this line implies that the husband is sympathetic about his wife's pain and is afraid of it. His hand may quiver out of guilt for frightening his wife and she may cry because she cannot continue to sleep with a man she does not love.

Her marriage has wounded her to an intolerable degree and she just wants to escape it, but is slow to admit this to herself.

Her death at the end of the story is really unexpected, and Chopin does not give any detailed description of the reason why she is dead so suddenly. However, it may be because her freedom has been taken away from her again. In ‘Deictic Elements in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour – A Cognitive

Of all the people secondhand smoke impacts, children are the ones that suffer the most serious consequences. Sudden infant death syndrome, increased respiratory tract infections, and impaired lung function growth are all serious health issues found in children due to secondhand smoke (Possible Identification). All of these negative effects caused by smoking show that smoking can no longer continue in the daily lives of Americans. The best solution to prevent smoking is to advertise
