Answer and Explanation:

Mrs. Mallard is the main character in Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour". Louise Mallard has always been a fragile woman whose heart condition may kill her in case she is surprised or shocked. In addition, she has always been a subservient wife, constantly attached and dependent on her husband.

However, something changes inside her when she is told the news of her husband's death. Mrs. Mallard locks herself up in her room to mourn the loss but, while in there, she looks out her open window:

<em>She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. </em>

<em>There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.</em>

<u>The natural setting outside the window represents the new life and spirit Mrs. Mallard is about to discover. The smell of rain, the patches of blue sky here and there, the distant song, they all evoke her own mental state. They all represent the happiness of finding herself free. Spring, specially, always evokes the start of something new - a new chance, a new life. Mrs. Mallard realizes that, without her husband, there is nothing holding her down. She is finally liberated to be herself, to do as she wishes.</u>

In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how the protagonist's cultural background affects his or her actions and choices i
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Note: There was no much emphasis or mention about the cast's cultural background. Certain aspects are based on assumptions. I feel that the historical background is seen most important, to understand the cast's behavior.

Explanation:

Russian author Varlam Shalamov wrote a short story on Condensed Milk. Shalamov spent 15 years of life in Gulag, a camp where Russian forced-labor was being operated. This story narrates his terrifying experiences.

<u>He was a political person</u>, which shows that he was not a regular criminal but has been arrested as a thief. The treatment given to a thief was better than what he has been through. He was <u>arrested based on suspicion </u>as the <u>Stalin Government found him as a threat</u> though he was considered an enemy amongst the people. This is <u>because of expressing his opinion that the Soviet Regime considered/felt inappropriate</u>. Shalamov d<u>emonstrated his brilliance </u>despite his <u>deteriorating health at the camp</u>. He was offered help to escape but wasn't fooled either. He lived amongst people whom he couldn't trust anymore.

While going through a harrowing treatment at the camp, the combatant realized that Shestakov was setting a trap. Shestakov was the only person with an office job with privileges. During those times, <u>being with privileges was considered being good with the government</u> and its people. Shalamov was afraid of Shestakov, as they were the only ones working in the field where Shestakov is trained. Shalamov was incredulous as to who had assigned Sestakov for the training and what he might have been offered?. Everything in the camp had to be paid with either another man's blood or his life.

<u>Shalamov through his brilliance and awareness of the governments and people saved the combatant</u>. He asks for a can of condensed milk as he was starving, pleading to regain his strength to move along with Shestakov and others.

Quote: "There are lots of different tinned foods—meat, fish, fruit, vegetables—but the best of all is milk, condensed milk. Condensed milk doesn’t have to be mixed with boiling water. You eat it with a spoon, or spread it on bread, or swallow it drop by drop from the tin, eating it slowly, watching the bright liquid mass turn yellow with starry little drops of sugar forming on the can. . . ."

After getting 2 cans, Shalamov said to Shestakov that he is not going anywhere. However, Shestakov found himself to be unharmed and nothing happened to him.

- a<em> topic sentence</em> would generally grab the reader's attention

(Example: The sky is made of shades of blue.)

- an <em>outline sentence </em>would give the reader an idea of what would follow next after the introduction such as a plan of development

(Example: Shades of blue are colors like cobalt, ice, steel, turquoise and more. Each shade of blue is a unique hue in the sky. The form layers of blue and paint the picture we see in the sky.)

-a <em>thesis sentence</em> controls the entire writing piece.

(Example: It is possible to refute this notion that they sky has different shades of blue?)

Anna35 [415]

The answer is: "'You’ve changed lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall by two or three inches.'"

The statement itself contains the evidence. By admitting his awe that Jimmy has changed a lot, it implies that he is surprised at what his friend has become. Primarily due to his appearance. In this statement, he pinpointed the change in his height.
