Putting all these thoughts in account, I chose“The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. All throughout the story, there is so much description. The first page is a great example.

What makes people capable of feeling guilty? As Zahn-Waxler and Kochanska (1990) wrote, “The capacity for guilt is innate and universal; [only] its modes of expression are learned” (p. 232).
