“Reading a story, a poem, or a play introduces you to an imaginary world. You are pulled away from a living, breathing world into one that was created in the mind of the author. Its situations and experiences may resemble ones you are familiar with; many of them may even be based in part on real situations, but they are imaginary–shaped by the imagination of the person who created the story, poem, or play you are reading (R.

The stories that I have chosen to compare and contrast are ‘The Way Up to Heaven’ and ‘The Story of an Hour’. Before analysing the story, let me define what compare and contrast is.

This shows that she is working hard. Also, she squeezed an eraser and practiced like this for 3 hours straight. This shows that Lupe is a hard
