Kate Chopin Response... I hope this is right

Kate Chopin went through a lot in her life. She went through many tragedies but managed to recover from them. A kind of outlet to her pain was to incorporate her life into her stories, as many writers did and still do. Chopin was the third of five children, but sadly her sisters all died in infancy and her brothers in their twenties. She was the only child to live past twenty-five years old. Her father was killed in a train crash when she was five years old. This tragedy possibly gave her an idea for her short story, “The Story of An Hour”.
“The Story of An Hour” is about a woman named Mrs. Mallard who finds out that her husband has been killed in a train crash. It deals with her reactions and what she thinks about this sudden “gift” of freedom. The way her father died is possibly what gave her the idea of how Brently Mallard died. However, there was something different about her relationship with her husband and with Mrs. and Mr. Mallard’s relationship. Chopin’s husband "adored her, admired her independence and intelligence, and “allowed” her unheard of freedom”. (Biography of Kate Chopin) Mr. Mallard treated Mrs. Mallard the exact opposite of that. Perhaps she is trying to relay in a way how she felt trying to cope with the death of her husband. Writing was probably the only thing she had left since everyone she ever loved and cared about died.
Chopin’s life has been a whirlpool full of death’s ever since she was little. Her sisters died when they were infants and her brothers died in their early twenties. She was the only one to make it past twenty five and lost her husband to swamp fever. She also lost her mother, grandmother, and father. With that much pain and heartache it’s a wonder she didn’t go crazy. Possibly the only thing that was keeping her sane was her stories. They became a sort of outlet to her pain.
Kate Chopin used her life experiences to create some of her best work, even though they weren’t the best of times for her. She used her stories as a way to keep herself from going crazy.
