Discussion board 5, Gabriela Gonzalez

The quote that I choose to focus my second essay on is “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it” (Lewis). I choose this quote because I do believe that literature is a beautiful way to express one’s reality. A way to deliver a message about what is happening, about something real. To me, it is also a powerful way to center your reader on the story that you’re telling by giving them descriptions of the scenario as well. The story that I felt was connected to this quote was “Story of An hour” by Kate Chopin. I choose that one because I feel that the details and the descriptions used inside of the plot is exactly what the quotes mean about how literature describes reality. I feel that the story and the quote are very well connected, that’s why I tried to do when I wrote the essay. It was a hard choice for me though, because they were a couple ones that I also liked.
