It was unusual for women during Kate Chopin's time to be independent. Through her portrayal of Louise in "The Story of an Hour,"

Chopin hints that independence was a forbidden joy for a woman. Which of these excerpts from Chopin's story convey this idea?
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.


Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.

The correct answer is:  

There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.

Kate Chopin´s short story about the liberation Louise Mallard feels during the time transpired since the moment she hears that her husband is dead until she discovers that he is alive after all. That made "The Story of an Hour" very controversial at the time.

Which two quotes BEST show the contrast in maturity between Helmuth and his brothers? "I'm going to float away, right this minut
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

"Helmuth is three." "Hans is eight." "Gerhard, who is seven."

Explanation:

This question is about "The Boy who dared"

The above selected phrase shows that there is a certain difference in Helmuth's age in relation to his brothers. This age difference shows the difference in maturity between them, as it is common that the younger the immature, since maturity is gained with experience and experience is gained with experience.

Helmuth is five years younger than Hans, who shows him that Hans is more mature. While Hans and Gerhard are only a year apart, it is likely that Hans is more mature, as he is older.
