Another minor dispute has escalated into yelling and screaming, throwing of objects and breaking of hearts. Words that shouldn't be expressed between two loving people cause tears and feelings of hatred, anger and disrespect. This is just one of many problems that could have been effortlessly resolved before the mole hill grew to the size of Mt. Everest but of course walking away from the situation isn't always the easiest thing to do. If she only turned her back away from the quarrel and began her journey in the opposite direction she wouldn't be roaming the streets at 3 AM trying to find some place warm and safe to sleep; she wouldn't be carrying a duffle bag with enough clothes to last her a...show more content...
It must be a case of "tough love." What could their child have done to have lost all rights of having a roof overhead and being kicked out with nothing more than a bag of clothes and a couple dollars for either some phone calls or some food? Still there are some who barely receive that. Truthfully it's a hard pill to swallow when the reality of these adolescents having nobody to turn to because of their heartbreaking lifestyles sets in. Being sexually, emotionally or physically abused by someone close to home isn't any fault of their own; neither is having aparent or guardian who is more focused on their next hit rather than handling responsibilities they unconsciously took on the moment they realized they were bringing a child into this world.

These are the men and women who took an oath and vowed to protect and serve each community with their entire being, but are the same men and women who come to the "ghetto" or to the "'hood" and harass and arrest innocent black men and black women for standing on the corner too long.

In the end of The Story of an Hour, Louise walks down stairs to see that Brently is actually alive which causes Louise to fall into severe devastation and die. The last type of irony used in The Story of an Hour is dramatic irony. Dramatic irony occurs when the meaning of the situation is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play. When the doctor in the story says, "She had died of heart disease, of a joy that kills." The characters in the story, Josephine and Richards, think Louise died out of joy when Brently is actually found to be alive rather than dead. This realization causes Louise to fall into desolation and die because now she cannot live her life freely. Dramatic irony also occurs when Josephine thinks Louise is sick in her room when she is really experiencing joy. This falls under dramatic irony because Josephine thinks Louise is becoming sick due to Brently's death, but the audience reading the story know that Louise is actually full of joy.
