Read the following excerpt from Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," in which the protagonist, Louise Mallard, is contemplating

her life after learning of the death of her husband.
No; she was drinking the very elixir of life through that open window. Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.

Based on the excerpt, what does the open window come to symbolize for Louise?

a.)Nature; staring out the window helps Louise reconnect with nature and, in the process, rediscover her family’s identity now that she’s without a husband.

b.)Escape; staring out the window is a means of escaping from the monotony and tediousness of life that Louise experiences on a regular basis.

c.)Independence; staring out the window makes her aware of the life that lies before her, as well as the personal liberty she has within her reach.

d.)Sadness; staring out the window evokes a feeling of sadness within her as she views the world moving on, while she is stuck in her house without the comfort of her husband.

e.)Opportunity; staring out the window opens her eyes to the economic possibilities life presents, even when confronted with hardships and tragedies.

Read the excerpt from a student’s essay.
Oxana [17]
<span>The correct answer would be C - within the context of a literary essay the most valuable addition would be to include the information that Rainsford also comes from a priveleged background. This is because it means that rather than simply rewriting the narrative, the student will be showing that they understand the importance of context and social standing within the story.</span>

Which BEST describes Mr. Bixby's influence on the narrator's learning how to "read" the water?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Excerpt from: Life on the Mississippi

Mark Twain

THERE was no use in arguing with a person like this. I promptly put such a strain on my memory that by and by even the shoal water and the countless crossing-marks began to stay with me. But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr. Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a lesson on water-reading. So he began—
