The Storm

The storm is a very interesting story it tells about two married couples who both have children and how they commit adultrey. A storm rolles in and a woman named Calixta is at home sewing while her husband and son are at the store. An old friend comes in on horseback and stayes until the storm goes away. His name is Alcee. Calixta is all worried about her familt and Alcee tries to comfort her. He holds her in his arms and thinks to himself how he wants to kiss her lips. Alcee says " Do you remember- in Assumption, Calixta." (pg.257) He talkes about how they kissed and kissed. Alcee talked about how she looked and how she felt it. I think that the two were acting as thou they were young adults again, and I think that they are both not happy with their marriages. I also think that the sound of the storm made them do what they did. Toward the end Alcee wrote a letter to his wife and told her if she needed to stay away longer that it was alright with him. I believe he did that for a reason so maybe he could be with Calixta a couple of more times if they got the chance.
