Well, I am choosing to write about the story The Chrysanthemums. I thought the story was kind of interesting although at times it was hard to understand. I didn't like the character of the man with the wagon because I am not a fan of a begger. He asked to do some work for money and she denied, so then he chose to manipulate her and make her feel bad. After there "moment" of her feeling happy and proud giving him some of her precious flowers to give to the neighbor, she decided to find something for him to do for fifty cents. After his disappearance, she got ready for her husband to come home and then go to a nice dinner. On there way to dinner she saw the flowers that she had given to the ol dirty, and grungy man thrown out on the road. From her character, I took that she wanted to have more respect, like a man. Her and her husband Henry don't have children. She stays at home and from the story, she laid out the man's clothes for him, and stayed in the garden for the majority of the day, as if that was her job because, she was just a woman and couldn't have a real job; only to stay home and provide for the man.
