Explanation: .  Almost at the start of the story, in the second paragraph, Richards "hastened" (12) to bring his sad news.  But if Richards had arrived "too late" at the start, Brently Mallard would have arrived at home first, and Mrs. Mallard's life would not have ended an hour later but would simply have  gone on as it had been.  Yet another irony at the end of the story is the diagnosis of the doctors.  They say she died of "heart disease--of joy that kills" (11).  In one sense they are right: Mrs. Mallard has for the last hour experienced a great joy.  But of course the doctors totally misunderstand the joy that kills her.  It is not joy at seeing  her husband alive, but her realization that the great joy she experienced during the last hour is over.

           All of these ironic details add richness to the story, but the central irony resides not in the well-intentioned but ironic actions of Richards, or in the unconsciously ironic words of the doctors, but in Mrs. Mallard's own life.  She "sometimes" (13) loved her husband, but in a way she has been dead, a body subjected to her husband's will.  Now his apparent death brings her new life.  Appropriately this new life comes to her at the season of the year when "the tops of trees [...] were all aquiver with the new spring life" (12). But ironically, her new life will last only an hour.  She is "Free, free, free" (12), but only until her husband walks through the doorway.  She looks forward to "summer days" (13), but she will not see even the end of this spring day.  If her years of marriage were ironic, bringing her a sort of living death instead of joy, her new life is ironic too, not only because it grows out of her moment of grief for her supposedly dead husband, but also because her vision of "a long procession of years" (12) is cut short within an hour on a spring day.

The plot details in "The Story of an Hour" are significant because they reveal Louise Mallard to be a woman who is deeply unhappy in her marriage and who longs for freedom.

Claim: The plot details in "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin play a crucial role in revealing the internal conflict and transformation of the main character, Louise Mallard, as she grapples with her emotions and desires in the face of societal expectations.

Evidence 1: The text states, "She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion as trivial." This detail highlights Louise's initial shock and hesitation upon learning about her husband's death, followed by her inner conflict as she acknowledges her newfound sense of freedom and the "monstrous joy" that accompanies it. This internal struggle reflects the complexities of her emotions and sets the stage for her eventual transformation.

Evidence 2: Additionally, the text describes how Louise "carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of Victory." This detail symbolizes Louise's growing sense of empowerment and liberation as she envisions a life without the constraints of marriage. The contrast between her inner thoughts and the outward appearance she adopts illustrates the tension between societal norms and her personal desires.

The plot details in "The Story of an Hour" are carefully chosen by Kate Chopin to reveal Louise Mallard's true feelings about her marriage. Louise's initial reaction of joy to her husband's death is shocking, but it makes sense when we consider her unhappy marriage. She has been trapped in a loveless and oppressive relationship, and her husband's death represents her freedom from that relationship. Her thoughts about her future as a free woman also reveal her desire for independence. She dreams of spending her afternoons reading and gardening, and she even considers remarrying, but only to a man who will give her the freedom she craves. In the end, Louise's death is not caused by grief. It is caused by the shock of seeing her husband alive and well. This suggests that Louise's happiness at her husband's death was not simply a temporary reaction to grief. It was a deep-seated desire for freedom that could not be sustained in the face of reality.

The plot details in "The Story of an Hour" are a powerful indictment of the restrictive social roles that women were expected to play in the 19th century. Louise Mallard is a woman who is denied her freedom and her independence, and she ultimately pays the price for her desire to be free. Chopin's story is a reminder that the fight for women's rights is still not over.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! What would be some good dialogue to add to this? After they get out of the force field, Kate, Mr. Jacks, and his dog, Vader, are walking around trying to find water, food, and shelter. Vader hears something and runs off. As they are searching, they see a very big beacon emitting a blue-tinged light that is the same color as the force field. As they are walking to the beacon, they meet Greg, Phillip, and Vader. Greg and Phillip are also heading to the beacon. They say they are going to the beacon to obliterate it also. Kate and Mr. Jack are suspicious of G & P, so they ask about P’s blue eyes”Why are your eyes blue?” Kate asked. P tells them that when they were escaping the force field his eyes turned a blue-tinged color like the force field. Greg, the scientist, says he thinks P has the power of the force field inside him now and might be the only one who can destroy it. They all decide to see if Gs theory is correct and go to the beacon to test his hypothesis. Vader runs off again. The group of four reach the beacon and notice that there is an eye scanner…. The doors rapidly opened up to the beacon and the eye scanner vanished. The group’s sight increased because the room's length was extended and in the entryway was Vader...

Read the passage from President Bush's speech.

"Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.

Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone."

The saint President Bush refers to is Mother Teresa. She lived among and served the poor all over the world. She symbolizes selflessness in giving of herself to take care of others.

How doe the allusion to Mother Teresa affect the meaning of the speech?

1. It urges listeners to live among the poor in order to help them improve their lives.

2. She serves as an example of how Americans should treat each other and their country.

3. She sets an example of how well-run democratic counties should be governed.

4.
It appeals to the emotions of listeners so that they will feel guilty if they ignore the poor.
