"Story of an Hour"

I feel paragraph 5 is significant because it puts the reader in the room. It takes us right to where she is. Not just in the physical realm, but also in her state of mind. I think that "suspension of thought" is that point when you are stuck on something, stuck on a thought, but it has a purpose. We can have many dazed moments in life, but not all of those moments have a purpose. Sometimes we just have wandering minds. I think the opposite would be in paragraph 19 when she is thinking about all that is to come, a life alone, a long life. This was a good story. It brings to light some of the emotions that one might have if they loose their significant other.
