And then he came. All of the suddenly his arm was around my waist so warm and tight and he said very casually, "May I skate with

you?" and then he took my hand. That's all there was to it. Just that and then we were skating. It wasn't that I never skated with a boy before. Don't be silly. I told you before I get around. But this was different. He was smooth! He was a big shot up at school and he went to all the big dances and he was the best dancer in town except Arnold Wright who didn't count because he'd been to college in New York for two years! Don't you see? This was different. I can't remember what we talked about at first; I can't even remember if we talked at all. We just skated and skated and laughed every time we came to that rough spot and pretty soon we were laughing all the time at nothing at all. It was all so lovely.

Answer: The right answer is the D) Excited.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the tone of the excerpt refers to the attitude of the author towards the events that she is describing — the chance encounter between two teenagers at an ice skating rink. That attitude is clearly an attitude of excitement. The author was observing the main character and she describes her reaction when a young boy invited her to skate with him, and the feelings of happiness and enthusiasm that that unexpected and warm invitation arose in her.

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.
