For an audio recording of the story, go to iTunes on your computer, go to the iTunes store, search for "Kate Chopin - 23 Unabridged Stories," and then scroll down to Story No. 7 ("Her Letters"), and download it for FREE.

Write a first response to "Her Letters."
Use the following writing prompts: How did you feel about the wife? How did you feel about the husband? How did you feel about the letters? Did the ending surprise you?
Or free-write your own response.
