Read the excerpt from The Awakening, by Kate Chopin. He was returning to the city to his business, and they would not see him ag

ain at the Island till the coming Saturday. He had regained his composure, which seemed to have been somewhat impaired the night before. He was eager to be gone, as he looked forward to a lively week in Carondelet Street. Mr. Pontellier gave his wife half of the money which he had brought away from Klein's hotel the evening before. She liked money as well as most women, and accepted it with no little satisfaction. How does the excerpt reflect its social and historical context?

Answer:

It illustrates wives' dependence on their husbands in the 1800s.

Explanation:

The text shows how Pontellier's wife needed him to give her money because she was not economically independent. The text also shows that she did not like to depend on her husband so much and so she accepted the money with little satisfaction.

This reflects a social issue of the nineteenth century, which is the century depicted in "The Awakening." At that time women did not have their own money and relied on husbands' money to survive.

The context (1899, New Orleans and Louisiana) is shown in some details. The use of some particular words like eager, composture, impaired is a sign of it.  Also the fact that the money had to be transported phisically. It's also clear in the way Kate Chopin describes the like of women for the money. This is somewhat a macho point of view that has to do with the time and political context she lived in.

<h3>What do the short sentences reflect?</h3>

The use of short, descriptive sentences can have varied purposes in literature. In this case, we must analyze what the purpose is in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier's Home.”

Notice that the sentences are showing us what going through Krebs's mind. In other words, we are shown his thought process. He seems to be quickly analyzing and judging what he sees - in this case, the girls. He rapidly goes from one thought to the next, judging and making conclusions about his feelings toward the girls.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option for this question.

<em>Atlas Shrugged - The Trilogy</em>

You know when you're sick and need something mindless to watch? And the thing you pick turns out to be so terrible that you almost become sicker? That describes the Atlas Shrugged trilogy.

I could spend hours going on about how bad this movie was but here are some of the lowlights.

First off...the cast changes from movie to movie...not the characters the actors playing them. Whether it was because the people making the films were running out of money and the subsequent sequels were budgeted lower grade I don't know but...it was a wee bit off putting.

Secondly...the whole trilogy is shot in some sort of soft focus sort of thing more reminiscent of softcore entertainment from the 90s. Maybe it was intended to make it more sci-fi-ish or something but...again...no clue.

Thirdly...the dialogue. I have never ready Ayn Rand's work nor do I care to but...my god...if these movies are even a faint reflection of her work then it so so heavy handed and over the top that it's more than slightly cringeworthy.

Fourthly the editing was/is atrocious. Characters appear and disappear almost at will. Little explanation is given to motive or...anything.

I freely admit I watched it until the end out of...self loathing or something I don't know but...if you don't want to make yourself even sicker...avoid it at all costs.

What word would you use to describe the tone of this sentence?
vlada-n [284]
The tone of this sentence is considered optimistic or positive since the word perfect is used to describe what it is like to have a bunny for a pet. Also, since the word bunny is used rather than rabbit, the tone is casual and informal.
