My Reflection on The Storm

This story is a personal favorite. I most than anyone disaprove the act of lust Calixta and Alcee had. But sometimes we have to see beyond what's right and wrong. I have never understand if this events were part of fate or maybe something that has no name. For an example, what was doing Alcee so close where she lived. But even when they're equally guilty because of what they did, I believe the decision on this matter fall right on Calixta. Why does a wife and mother would risk to destroy years of marriage of an happy family in exchange for some minutes of unstopable passion. And even so I thank that this violation to God commands ended and remain hidden without lethal cassualties, including Calixta's husband, her young son and Alcee's wife.

A Walk to the Jetty

This story is some of a continuation about the past story, except in this Annie is no longer a girl. She is already a lady that finally is going to leave her home to go England to study how to be a nurse. I believe she sense in some way nostalgic because it's her last night that she'll spent in Antigua. She is only a few hours to leave and she is anxious and fearful for it and she can't sleep. When it's finally morning she hears the bells from the church which means it's time. After talking with her parents and have a good breakfast she and her parents walk through town until the finally reach the jetty. The whole way seems infinite to Annie, as I believe that in some way she had not wanted this day to arrive. After a sad moment in which they say goodbye and I am short of words to describe it, she is in her way to England.

Reflection on Columbus in Chains

As I understand the story tells of a young girl name Annie who is the prefect on her class, but it's also proud of her heritage. Their teacher is explaining them the history of the West Indies. She feels recented with some of the girls beacuse they are the daughters of the men who brought his people as slaves. Knowing all the lesson she proceeds the next reading where she discovers about when Christopher Columbus was arrested. How he was chain and send to court in Spain and she finds happy about it. When her teacher finds out she is upset that Annie is enjoying the punishment imposed to the man they own to have find these lands. When she got back home she was trick into eating a product that she would not eat for the simple fact that came from another country and so the story ends.
