Description: I liked the concept of the story, however not the way it was carried out. A lot of the literary terms and vocabulary made the story very complicated to understand. For example, "The sorrows of the hand-toiler fit him easily." Without that word choice, I think the story would be more effective. I believe O.Henry’s message was that people can have very different views on the same subject. There are different ways to portray aspects of religion, and people should be open to hearing about it without it becoming an argument. I also noticed that O.Henry used a lot of imagery in his writing. I think for some parts of the story it was good placement. However for other parts of the story I think should have had more dialogue than visual writing.

The Day Resurgent
Summary: O. Henry’s short story, “The Day Resurgent,” tells the story of a simple man who paints and writes. He goes to an Easter party and meets people there, who all have different views on religion. He spends the majority of the party alone and then comes into contact with different men from different backgrounds. They begin to talk about religion and all debate their beliefs. The entire story is at the same party and just goes into detail about what the characters think.
