1.Kate Chopin Writings do not compare to those of the American Romanticism. She doesn’t really touch on nature and the beauty of it or unrealistic things. She focuses on reality. Just like in both of her writings she talks about real life issues.
2.Kate writes on topics that deal with women. In both “Lilacs” and “A Pair of Silk Stockings” she talk about women and their issues. Mrs. Sommers had problems with oppression. She was a poor woman that found $15 dollars and was originally suppose to spend it on her kids but ended up wining and dining herself. Adrienne lives a dual life and basically had an identity issue.
3.Kate is writing to all women and girls that can relate to some of the real world issues today.
4. To me as a reader, Kate writings are very interesting. I enjoy reading her writings because they are feminist pieces and are realistic.
5. Honestly, the fact that A Pair of Silk Stockings was the shortest passage to read is why I picked Kate Chopin.
“How good was the touch of the raw silk to her flesh! She felt like lying back in the cushioned chair and revealing for awhile in the luxury of it.”
I liked this quote from the passage “lilacs.” This is really the way women think. She admired the way she felt because she felt good. I know when I try on clothes I also like to just sit and look at myself in the mirror for a long time.

Janine, I would have liked you to have written more in response to Chopin's work than you have here. When you write: "Kate is writing to all women and girls that can relate to some of the real world issues today" or "I enjoy reading her writings because they are feminist pieces and are realistic", I think you might have gone a bit further to express yourself and to clarify your interpretations of her work.
