"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall"

"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne Porter is an old fashioned story about a grandmother on her death bed. As she lies surrounded by her family, she begins to ponder her life and get ready for death. She tells her family about the event that left the most impression on her life. Sixty years earlier, on her wedding day, her fiance never showed up to the alter. This event made a lasting impact on the grandmother. As her last wish, she wishes that George could see her with her family, letting him know that she did alright with out him. As she dies, she waits for God to give her a sign, so she can feel reassured. However, she gets no sign, and she realizes this is the second time she has been jilted. When no sign from God appears, she realizes George is the least of her worries.

This story makes me think about life, and how all things are relative. There is no reason to get mad about small things in life, when there are much more important things. I did not really like the story. The language did not appeal to me, and it was confusing with all of the flashbacks.
