The_Storm

The Storm To write a story, an author must take in consideration all aspects of the world he is creating for us to imagine. Choplin’s “The Storm” however, takes the setting of a story to a different level, the setting can be said to take on a life of it’s own, and to manipulate the two characters into passion with one another. In “The Storm” , Choplin uses the quick intensity of the weather to symbolize, and provoke the relationships and actions of the character’s in the story. An author has complete control over his or her story: the setting, the weather, location, characters, the list could go on and on. So it’s important that the reader pick up on every aspect that the author has created, because, the author has intended for it to be that way, and to help round out the story.This is especially important with the way the actions between Calixta and Alcee relate to a storm that had started almost as soon as Alcee rode up on his horse. As Alcee stands on the porch, (the actual text n! otes that he had no intention of walking inside the house), the water beat through the storm, alcee, story, characters, author, way, two, setting, passion, out, calixta, water, take, point, over, life, house, actions, weather, told, stop, puts, part, making, it’s, important, fact, even, door, come, character’s, between, aspect, arms, another
