Red Rising by Pierce Brown is said to be comparable to books like Ender’s Game and Hunger Games. There is no problem with having an opinion‚ although I find it very misleading when an author like Pierce Brown advertises someone’s vague opinion on the front of his book when there are few similarities to begin with .

In Kate Chopin’s “The Storm”‚ a married woman breaks free from the patriarchal norm of her time. This story embodies feminism for many reasons—some of which are giving female characters typical “male” characteristics and discussing female sexuality. An affair that would usually be looked at with distaste and as an abomination is nonchalantly recounted in this shocking tale. It is also representative of Chopin’s background and symbolizes the turning of a page for women everywhere. This story goes

Is Bad Weather an Excuse for Deceit? In the story “The Storm”‚ Kate Chopin plots a situation in which two people surrender to their physical desires. Chopin wrote fiction stories in the late 19th century. She was condemned due to the immorality presented in her work.

She is not a popular writer of her era because of her crude works;
