Benjamin Franklin said, "Be assured, a Woman's Power, as well as Happiness, has no other Foundation but her Husband's Esteem and

Love." Based on her thinking after learning of her husband's death, how would Mrs. Mallard in "The Story of an Hour" have responded to Franklin's idea? Use evidence from the story to support your conclusion.

In this quote, Benjamin Franklin expresses the view that a woman has no other purpose except making her husband happy, and that her ultimate happiness lies in knowing he loves her. If this were true, we would assume that a woman who is left alone would have no more reason to live, let alone to be happy. This is the complete opposite of what happens to Mrs. Mallard. Mrs. Mallard feels trapped in a loveless marriage, until her husband passes away. Although at first she is shocked, she soon realizes that now she is free, and she feels as if her life was only now beginning. Therefore, her situation proves the falsehood of Franklin's assessment.

In “The Story of an Hour” Louise Mallard is the protagonist who suffers in a marriage she is not happy with. Different from Benjamin Franklin’s assumption, when her husband dies in a train accident she cries of course, but later she notices that she is free from her marriage and now she has a will to live.

Her marriage made her so miserable she wanted to die and once she is freed from it she desires to live she even screams <em>“free, free, free!” (262)</em>.  So you can assume that the character would not agree with Franklin’s thoughts.

Using PEMDAS it would be -1 .
First you do the parentheses which equals to (-1). Then you raise it to the second power which is 1 because -1 * -1 is 1. But then you have the negative symbol on the outside so it is -1.

Is the italicized word in the sentence below an adverb or preposition? Why don't you come over this evening (over)
DiKsa [7]
The italicized word OVER can be used either as a preposition or as an adverb in a sentence. In this particular sentence, the correct answer is adverb.
When over is used as an adverb, it is not followed by any word which would create a phrase along with it (as is the case here). Compare OVER as a preposition (A bird flew over the lake - we can see over what) and OVER as an adverb (Could you come over - we don't know over where or what).

Answer:

So, this question is asking about your own experiences with technology and how it is. Therefore, try answering it with how technology effects you. Is it mostly helpful? Is it negative towards you? If so,why? If you want an answer already written out, feel free to use this:

My experience with technology is both good, and bad. I can easily get help with homework and access many sites easily. Also, there are many things to do online to keep me occupied when I'm bored. Yet, with the influence of social media, it can be slightly negative due to how many negative people there are out there. Technology can be damaging to mental health and make people lazier, but I am trying to keep a healthy relation with technology. There have been no major changes, but technology has both been a huge influence for me, and something that can cause stress at times.
