I have to choose from these three books for my english class: The Awakening by Kate Chopin The Doll House by Henrik Ibsen A Lost Lady by Willa Cather Which one would you recommend?

by kate chopin, any ideas??

For American Literature, I had to read "Désiree's Baby" by Kate Chopin. One of the questions asks: What prejudices are at the heart of this story? I've never heard of the phrase "at the heart" What does that mean?

1) Frisky the young puppy bounded along the shoreline splashing in the surf. 2) When the elderly man began to wobble I went to help him. Now what's the subject and the verb in these quotes: 1) "She looked in to the distance, and the old terror flamed up for an instant..." -Kate Chopin, "The Awakening" 2) "If my mother was in a singing mood, it wasn't so bad." -Toni Morrison, "The Bluest Eye" This is what I think: 1) Frisky, the young puppy, bounded along the shoreline splashing in the surf. 2) When the elderly man began to wobble, I went to help him.

in the part where mademoiselle reisz, the lesbian, comes behind edna and like grabs her shoulders, does anyone know what she says? something about spreading her wings? pg #?

I can't have it be a citation from a website but we were allowed to acquire our copy from the website. We need an original citation -- one from a book that printed the story. The thought is that the websites are from the books and that they should have citations themselves to copy from the books. But all of the that I've looked at don't. Anyways, straight to the point, it would be REALLY helpful if someone could provide me with a book MLA citation for "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. Thanks!

Am I the only one that thinks it's torture?

In Kate Chopin's "Story of An Hour" and "Deseree's Baby," the author utilizes irony to explore marital issues of woman in the south during the 1800's.

I have an english research paper due sometime in the future and we've been fighting in the library for resources, unluckily, everyone is using up all the books we have. we're to find one commonality within two authors of two time periods. Are there any Norton anthropologies with Kate Chopin and/or Flannery O'Connor? I need information on The Awakening and The Life You Save May Be Your Own. Anything that shows changes/differences in characters, or dishonesty in characters to others.

I have an english assignment to compare "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin to a song that I find has similar meaning to it. "The Story of an Hour" is basically about a woman who is married to a man she does not love and she finds out that he died and she feels so free and full of joy, and then he comes home (it was a mistake he wasn't actually dead) and she is so shocked she dies (she has heart trouble) So basically I want to find a song about someone being freed from something they have been trapped in. Please Please Please help Quick!

Is Kate Chopin related to Frédéric François Chopin? I am referring to the author Kate Chopin

Females are awesome. I can't believe they were treated inferior to men during those times. Why were they treated so? I mean, aren't they most important for the reproduction of the human race? Don't they give all their time and effort to raise children? Aside from that, females are beautiful people. Men should have treasured them, not hurt them. I've read in many history books that shop owners cheat women employees by paying them less and mistreat them by beating them. If I lived at those times, I would have treasured my wife and never do such things to her. Actually I would respect her. Were all males mistreating women? Doesn't this whole mistreatment of females bother you all? After reading Kate Chopin's works, it makes me think about these things . . . especially the Awakening.

also about her work, The Awakening what were the major themes and important quotations in the novel ?

I need help on starting these essay. I don't Know where to start. I have to write 2 essay one on a major theme and the other on a major symbol.

¶Through history people have been striving for change, for a second chance, a new life. Change is triggered by many events, including bad choices, an unfullfulling life and unexpected disasters. Change is the difference between a dull life, and an extraorinanry one- that’s what motivates change. ¶Since the day we were brought into life we have faced choices, which would ultimately change out lives-for better or for worse. And unfortunately many peole have chosen the wrong path, and once they travel deep into it its hard to get out. Once they reach that certain level they view only one way out, change. ¶As human beings we want the best for ourselves and wish to have a wonderful life full with excitement and new experiences. Although as we view our life through the past we realize that we are not fulfulling the life which we wanted. This topic is illustrated in The Awakening by Kate Chopin were the main character feels as if she is wasting her life and wants change. ¶With new situations and problems comes the avsolute need for change. If someone has an unexpected pregnancy, a natural disaster hits, or a familt member dies suddenly chance is best handled by change. With any of these life altering events, life requires change in order to stablize a family, a community, the world. ¶With so many motivations for change, it reminds us that change is abundant in our lives, and usually leads to exilerating outcome. Wether it be bad choices, a want for a better life, or a disaster, change is the only way out. Here is the prompt: What motivates people to change? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support you position with reasoning and examples take from your reading, studies, experience, or observations Scores PLEASE!

I'm trying to come up with a test and I came up with about 15 and I'm having trouble trying to make more. I was trying to make the test at least 40 questions.

Could you give the title and tell me alittle a bit about it? I know 'The Awakening' Is daring, but is there any other 'daring' stories she has written???

Also, does her relationship with any of them push her toward becoming like one of the other women on the list? How and why?

I read it! But I need to structure theme into a statement so I can't merely just put "racism"

After a close reading of Kate Chopin’s short story of your choice, and the Emily Dickinson poem of your choice, please write a well-developed essay that states one of Chopin’s and Dickinson’s common implicit assumptions about the people in society through a careful examination of their explicit strategies (examples, anecdotes, repetition, imagery, metaphor, etc.) Be sure to use the articles you found online to help you explain both the implicit and explicit aspects of the texts. that is what i have to do please help me!!!!!!

My first paragraph includes: The main conflict in The Awakening, by Kate Chopin, is the demands of society versus the needs of individuals. To say it more simply: Man versus society. When Edna goes upon her quest for freedom and self-contentment, she finds herself up against the expectations and conventions of society, which demands a married woman to choose the needs of her children and husband over her own. I'm having trouble finding sources to reinforce my idea, i also need a quote or two from the book. honestly i only skimmed the book because i had chem test and an accounting test and i was busy studying for those. i know that people looking for answers to their homework can be annoying but if you have any helpful information/ideas/examples it would be very appreciated. i seem to be in a tight spot right now.

I'm supposed to be showing how Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a critique of the sentimental romance of women's writing of the late 1800s, but i don't know what that is. is it a genre or something? if it is what is distinct about it? all answers are appreciated! thanks!

I am working on a study guide wher I need to know the point of view for the novel. I know that it is in third person, but I don't know if it is omniscient, limited, or objective. Thanks

I read the book "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin last year for an english class. About a week ago, I watched the film "The Piano" for a film class. Now there some really heavy similarities between the two and I was wondering this was intentional or if it had been pointed out before. -The piano is a symbol of the women's independance both stories -Ada is the main character in "The Piano" and Edna is the main character in "The Awakening" -Both are about women in the pre-feminism movement finding their own voice -Edna drowns herself in the end, Ada comes extremely close There are a lot more but I was just wondering.
