Reading Reflection Monika Gonzalez ENG 125 Elisabeth Heard April 25‚ 2011 Reading Reflection The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin is an impressive literary piece that touches the reader’s feelings as well as the mind. Even thought that the story is short‚ it is very rich‚ complete‚ and it carries deep sense of meaning to everyone.

01/09/2013 Reading Reflection At first‚ I think literacy has two meanings. The first meaning is culture or civilization and the second meaning is the ability to write and read. Both meaning are very similar‚ they are related to cultural knowledge. But in today’s society‚ literacy not only means culture.
