You begin to wonder, to ask questions. Soon you find yourself wanting to stand up and defend all the lost things in the world—including that lost part of yourself.
Are you somehow guilty too, you wonder? Quite unexpectedly, you begin to really feel the world Shaun Tan creates. It is a wonderful experience in mindf

AP Lit Prose Essay Prompt on The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin
This is an AP Lit prose essay prompt on "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. This is a great prompt because it is asking what is only implied, which students have difficultly identifying in a short story like "The Story of an Hour" since nothing is directly stated in the story. The students have a hard time identifying what is implied in the story, which I find is a great teaching opportunity.I have included my annotations of the story as well as an outline.
