Explanation:

              "The Storm" is one of the most famous short stories that was written in the year 1898 by the author named, Kate Chopin. It is about a love story about two person, Calixta and Alcee.

             The author uses many symbols to represents and plots his story. One such symbols is the 'storm'. It is the main symbol of the story. It mainly represents the sexual drive of  Alcée and Calixta and their repercussions because of this drive. The 'rain' is also used as a symbol in this story. It symbolizes and introduces the adulterous affair between the two. The rain starts falling when Alcee arrive sand it stops as he moves away. Other symbols used are the name of the place, Assumption, the colors white, red, green, etc.

              The setting placed in this story tries to create the perfect environment for an adulterous affair. In “The Storm”, by Kate Chopin,  Chopin not only wishes to create the perfect setting but she also uses her setting as the symbol of the affair. The storm and the sexual passion of Calixta and Alcée are both potentially destructive. The storm's destructive act which lead the two protagonists to have sex, it will most likely to have a destructive effect to their marriages.

             Kate Chopin uses the word 'storm' as a metaphor as it sets the mood of the setting of the story and also it symbolizes its potential destructive nature which may ruin the marriage life of both Alcee and Calixta.

Nimfa-mama [501]
I had the same question and got all the points on my response here: The story, “Another Evening at the Club” is about Samia and a wealthy man that she’s married to. The significance in the title of the story is that when you add “just” to the title it makes the two times that they were in the club, seem unimportant. The two times that Samia and her husband went to the club were important parts of the story. The first time Samia had went she lost her emerald ring, and then blamed her servant. The husband was angry with the servant, smacked her, and had her taken to the police station for questioning. The next day the husband had gone to the club while Samia was at home, and that’s when she found the ring again. Both of these shows that it was another evening at the club, almost like saying this happened, then another day happened. The difference in language and how you word things is important because it can change the whole meaning.
I hope this helps because I literally just retyped all of it lol

Online communication allows people the ability to create new identities. People can switch genders, race, age, etc. since the vi
lukranit [14]

The above essay is an argumentative essay. See a sample below.

The question of whether or not the above practices are harmful or helpful is totally dependent on the reason why they are being done.

For example, witnesses to serious crimes and highly dangerous criminals may opt to alter their visual identities for sakes of protection. Alternatively, the criminals may also alter their identities to escape from the justice.

Hence, it is right to state that this does create ethical issues. The best practice maybe for society to come up with a system that keeps track of what kind of identity people switch from and to.
