Today I am going to review a book titled The Awakening by Kate Chopin.  The Awakening is a book set at the end of the  19th century in new Orleans.

She believes this awakening is what she was truly created to live for.  Femininity  and female independence was not a social norms at...

  This is Goodbye  Take me to the place only you calls home, the place you promised me life. My hopes are fading and all I can think about is you, who has eyes on someone else. This was supposed to be our home, you were supposed to bring me here, but the moment I fell, you left like the wind and never once looked back. Now I drive alone along the road that was meant to be ours. I stare out the window wondering what life would have been like if you never left. We could have gotten married and had a dog. You never wanted kids but that is fine because even though I wanted a house full of children, I was willing to do anything for you, I still am.  Obsession is a very deadly feeling, it can make you do things you never would have done even if a gun was pointed to your head. I know this because right now I am standing in front of the house I never thought existed. I am standing in front of you and staring at her protruding stomach. When you said you never wanted kids...
