My enjoyment in A Pair of Silk Stockings by Kate Chopin, is in no comparison with my indulgence in The Ghostly Letter by Susan Millner Graham. I much more prefer The Ghostly Letter because of the way is written compared to A Pair of Silk Stockings.
             A pair of Silk Stockings was told in an omniscient narrative perspective, with an opening of "Little Mrs. Sommers one day found herself..." in resemblance of the opening of a childish tale, caused me to lose complete interest. In contrast, The Ghostly Letter was told from a first person narrative perspective. As the story begins with "We had enjoyed a lovely day in the country", it's like someone explaining to you an event which then leads on to something important. While comprehending the story teller's problems, you realize their fears and despair, and you sympathize for them, since you are seeing the story from only one point of view. This way, it becomes more intellectual and personal than a story being told in an omniscient narrative perspective, thus, my preference.
             Kate Chopin in A Pair of Silk Stockings provides a lack of descriptions, and the descriptions provided are often objective, such as "revolving stool", "very pleasant to touch", and well-dressed multitude". This causes the story to be unbiased, and thus, boring. The story is told step by step without flashbacks or a sudden time change, which as a result, leads you into confusion, causing you to ask What is the point here? As the story goes closer to the end, the time pace only becomes more rapid. There is no true indication of climax; it does not have a certain event to represent the climax of the story. Whereas Susan Millner Granham in The Ghostly Letter, provides all necessary imagery and details for you to step into the story teller's shoe. She even includes hints of tragedy in the beginning- "They say that all good things must come to an end, however...
