So far in class we have read 7 short stories, many similar trends share. However, there is two stories that I would like to go into more detail about the trends they have in common, which are “Happy Endings” by Margaret Atwood, and Kate Chopin's, “The Storm”. One huge trend these two short stories share is the desire some of the characters have for each other.
In “Happy Endings” we see the theme desire throughout the story, especially how in Part A Mary desires John, and in the Part B of the story we see John desiring to be with Mary; which continues throughout until Part D. The same can be said about “The Storm”, because for a brief moment Calixta and Alcée have romantic affair
