Answer:

B.

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863 during American Civil war. The speech was delivered at the dedication ceremony of National Cemetery of Gettysburg. Many soldiers were killed during this war from both the sides in the Battle of Gettysburg.

So, in the honor of these martyred soldiers, President Lincoln delivered this speech.

The speech contained less than 275 words, and Lincoln took only few minutes to deliver this speech. But even in this few minutes, he left a remarkable impact to his audience. The speech spoke about the principles of human equality mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

How does the narrator feel about washing and tying her husband’s turbans?<br><br> Montreal 1962.
Radda [10]

Answer:

She felt proud and also felt closer to her own heritage and home.

Explanation:

<em>Montreal 1962</em> is a short story by Shauna Singh Baldwin, recollecting her first experience of being a Sardar's wife in a foreign land. She recounts how her husband was asked to remove his hair and turban to be employed.

The short story delves into how she, as a Sardar's wife, felt about her husband's predicament on being asked to be 'normal' like the Canadians and get rid of his natural identity- the turban and his hair and be clean-shaven. While her husband was out working, she took upon herself to wash and then work on even trying to tie a turban, like her husband and others must have done before her. And in the process, she began to understand the significance and even the cultural significance of the turban. She felt that it is what makes them “them”, declaring that she will not let their tradition and culture be taken away from them.

She came to the realization of the turban's significance in their lives and decides to stand by him no matter what happens. She will work for her hands and help him to tie his turban, and then she <em>"will have taught Canadians what it takes to wear a turban". </em>

How does Edna’s character illustrate the theme that society pressures women to fill specific roles? Use examples and evidence fr
Y_Kistochka [10]
 Edna Pontellier was a controversial character. She upset many nineteenth century expectations for women and their supposed roles. One of her most shocking actions was her denial of her role as a mother and wife. Kate Chopin displays this rejection gradually, but the concept of motherhood is major theme throughout the novel.
Edna is fighting against the societal and natural structures of motherhood that force her to be defined by her title as wife of Leonce Pontellier and mother of Raoul and Etienne Pontellier, instead of being her own, self-defined individual. Through Chopin’s focus on two other female characters, Adele Ratignolle and Mademoiselle Reisz, Edna’s options of life paths are exhibited.
These women are the examples that the men around Edna contrast her with and from whom they obtain their expectations for her. Edna, however, finds both role models lacking and begins to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. The inevitability of her fate as a male-defined creature brings her to a state of despair, and she frees herself the only way she can, through suicide.
