So in many ways the painting and the story has some similarities, but not in everything.

Comparing The Painting "Christina's World" by Andrew Wyeth with the short story "The Story of an Hour"
In the picture we see a girl crawling trough the grass, trying to reach a house or a farm witha sort of handicap. This demonstrate hopelessness which I get the sense that Mrs Mallars in "The Story of an Hour" is having too. She wants to be free from her husband and if we compare Mrs. Mallard with the girl in the painting we can see that they both are kind of trapped. I also think the mood in the painting is quite similar to the mood in the short story but at the same time i don't think it fit that much. The girl in the painting has obvious some physical damages of some kind of sort, but the girl in the story feels trapped because she can't leave her husband.

Silje, well done. I agree that there are some similarities and some differences in the two works, thematically. Remember to introduce the works by mentioning not only the titles, but also who has written/painted them. In addition, you need to make sure that you have the right form of the verb in sentences like "This demonstrates..."
