Understanding "The Storm"

[@giannacoronado9957]

Hi Ma'am. I'm 19 years old in my first year of college taking English Comp 2. Before this year I absolutely hated English. I despised every short story and old-English tale I've ever been forced to read by teachers in the past. Reading the Storm the first time was boring for me. What more can a story about a woman sleeping with a man be about? After finding your videos, not only are my essays better, but my understanding of literature has improved drastically. In fact, I love it. I keep finding myself going back to your videos to further understand a story and say "hey that's pretty awesome and revolutionary of Kate Chopin (or any writer) to write about". Thank you so much for helping me open my mind to the vast and beautiful world of literature!

[@janetmario]

What a wonderful commentary!! I LOVED this "teacher" - she has a beautiful perspective and a true of understanding this story!!

[@britaniehernandez9258]

WOW! i love your perception of the story, thank you so much... you gave me so much to say tonight in class!

[@sukaitodd2510]

Great analysis! I like how you looked through all the aspects of the story and you've helped me gain a better understanding of the themes, in general. Thank you for the video! :)

[@SixMinuteScholar]

You're welcome!

[@michaelhaering7876]

Simple yet profound comments on Chopin's story. It helped me personally, a great deal. Thank you.

[@Tony-tn2dj]

Thank you for this in-depth commentary. It's so helpful to hear you covering all the different perspectives of the story and the conciseness that you do it in. Keep going, please. I have listened to 5 or 6 of your different commentaries for essays that we have studied in our Composition 2 class and I always feel so much more prepared when I listen to you first. Thanks.

[@SixMinuteScholar]

You're so very welcome! I'm glad that these vids are helpful. Your comment made my day! Thanks for watching. :-)

[@Tony-tn2dj]

We just finished class and my Honors class English Comp 2 professor had watched your commentary on "The Storm" and really appreciated your work in dissecting and analyzing it. He said that you brought out more points than he had even considered. He's always encouraging us to watch your videos on essays he assigns us. I just thought I ad that to your already good day. 😊

[@MintBlondeVevo]

I am absolutely in love with the way you convey the message of most problematic literary works. I wish I had a teacher like you. Greetings from Poland

[@MintBlondeVevo]

Hello my name is Megan Bloom. It is currently the beginning of 2018. I just looked at the date this video was publishes so I have no clue if you are going to read this. I just wanted to take this time to write a thank you to you. This has helped me so much for understanding the story itself. When I was reading the story myself I had no clue what was going on in the middle of it. From all the graphic details to what she was actually doing. I am currently a student in high school but I take all my classes at a college near me. (duel enrollment) With that being so it was very unexpected that the story was about an affair. Thank you so much for the help!

[@SixMinuteScholar]

MY ANGEL I'm so glad the video helped you! I teach at a college with lots of dual enrollment students, so I see what you mean. :-) Good luck with all your courses, educational goals, and your English class especially!

[@MrEzolio]

Thank you so much for all of your videos and help. The way you explain Kate Chopins work helps me understand everything!!

[@hishamafit7401]

This is an outstanding analysis. Can u do other stories ? Please.

[@biancagadi786]

what makes it outstanding in your opinion?...........all she did is regurgitating the carnal content of the story over and over and over............there is no analysis here

[@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8]

@@biancagadi786 First of all, you're replying to a 6 year old comment. Second of all, she didn't just explain the plot of the story, she explained what the story *means,* how is that not analysis???

[@ladyghostfacekillah1]

Thank you so much for making these videos.

[@MrKoiFish101]

What a disgusting way for Kate to resort to cheating, but I can't deny the symbolism and the writings are so good.

[@joey5027]

[@DigitalWraith]

More like she was being energetic so her husband wouldn't be suspicious of her. Also, you seem to be omitting the fact that this same system oppresses men as well.

[@Swinktastic]

+DionLaurent1 she's giving an analysis of a story set in the 1800's, the story is called "The Storm" Written by Kate Chopin. This whole video was made to explore the meaning of the story written in question. It's a literary analysis. An analysis is when the book or movie in this case a book is explained in detail, themes and motifs are discussed. The themes discussed are the ones in this story. I hope I clarified some stuff for you!

[@DigitalWraith]

Swinktastic Oh wow, here's captain obvious.

[@thesubatomicman3661]

Bitches be like, "Sorry, babe. It was my animalistic desires that made me yell at you and cheat with my ex. But I followed what my heart wanted and now I'm chill 😚✌️"

[@chocolateboy10]

I thought she could have talked about Alcee more rather than just saying his part was with an affair. Even if it means being chavenistic. Your critical analysis is good but I feel like you could be more indepth with all things.

[@SixMinuteScholar]

sheldon lac You make a good point! I focused on one or two main aspects and left out Albee. Maybe I need a part 2!

[@atonewiththedust]

Strange to absolve the cheaters of any responsibility because "le evil society made me do it!"

[@marievillarreal1255]

do you think calixta is insecure?.

[@SixMinuteScholar]

marie villarreal Mmm. Maybe? I will think about that!

[@jocelync8236]

I dont understand the meaning behind the ending. "So the storm passed and everyone was happy"

[@buinicoletram9145]

This story sounds like a movie. Lol

[@kingech_B15]

She is what we call a Molly

[@tchatchalongo5739]

Your analysis is full of holes, that you patch on the fly with the most superficial explanations, principally, it's society's fault. If I had a space ship, I would fly it to the moon, but I don't, so I think I'll have an affair instead since you did actually say that the protagonist could not marry the person she would have preferred, so her having a tryst with him is society's fault. Weak. What say you?

[@biancagadi786]

blablabla.......this is a professor?.......in ten minutes of "analysis" she only makes one point (honor your sexuality, no matter how) and drags that out over and over and over. when I listen to a professor for interpretation of a piece of "literature" I want reference to: historical context, political context, bio reference of the piece to the author, at minimum mention that the story was not published until about seventy years later and why. these are just a few little aspects that pop up in my little 'non-professorial' mind................today's quality of thinking is stuck at the pre-pubescent stage.

[@amyrodriguez5523]

false advertising. The channel says "SIXMINUTEscholar" but this video is ten minutes long :(
