The Storm

When beginning to read the short story, it took awhile to get in the grove of the spelling and accent they were using, such as "Come 'long in, M'sieur Alcee." It reminded me of Alabama in the earlier years. When first reading we find out information of Calixtas four year old son named Bibi. Taking place on a hot summer day in a little small town in the south. The story had alot of detail, for example when it said "Her lips were as red and moist as Pomegranate seeds." It made me feel like her lips were bright red and luscious. My sentence that stood out the most from the rest of the story was when they were describing Calixta features for example, "Her blue eyes still retained their melting quality; and her yellow hair, dishevelled by the wind and rain." In the last few parts of the story, they didn't mention the Storm that has just passed, but i think the storm still remained in those parts but in a different view. Calixta seemed very paranoid since Alcee was over only a few minutes prier to Bobinot and Bibi's return back to the house. Right as they opened the front door Calixta "Sprang up as they came in." Later that night it tells us that "Alcee Laballiere wrote his wife Clarisse a loving letter, full of tender solicitude" From all the hints it seems like Calixta is hiding important information of her former husband. So the storm is now located in the house of Calixta and Bobinot. That was the story called "The Storm" by Chopin.
