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.

Resolved Question: Why were women treated unfairly during the 1900s and before?
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.

¶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!

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!!!!!!

Resolved Question: I'm having trouble with an essay about The Awakening.?
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.

Resolved Question: Any correlation between "The Awakening" and "The Piano"?
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.
