The youngsters came tumbling up the steps, the quadroon following at the respectful distance which they required her to observe.

Mrs. Pontellier made them carry her paints and things into the house. She sought to detain them for a little talk and some pleasantry. But they were greatly in earnest. They had only come to investigate the contents of the bonbon box. *** [Mrs. Pontellier] stood watching the fair woman walk down the long line of galleries with the grace and majesty which queens are sometimes supposed to possess. Her little ones ran to meet her. Two of them clung about her white skirts, the third she took from its nurse and with a thousand endearments bore it along in her own fond, encircling arms. Which best explains how these two scenes from chapter 5 contribute to the novel’s plot development? They contribute to the falling action by introducing a series of events that take place between Mrs. Pontellier and her close friend Madame Ratignolle after the climax. They contribute to the exposition by providing additional background information on the friendship between Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle. They contribute to the rising action by introducing a secondary conflict related to Mrs. Pontellier’s envy of the ease with which Madame Ratignolle manages traditional female roles. They contribute to the climax by marking a turning point in the series of events that take place between Mrs. Pontellier and her close friend Madame Ratignolle.

The correct answer is "They contribute to the rising action by describing the behaviors that take place between Roger, Madame Ratignolle, and Mrs. Pontellier".

In "The Awakening", by Kate Chopin, the veil of appearences slowly lifts up throughout the narration <u>exposing the inner conflicts of motherhood, gender roles, femininity and oppresion towards women</u>. The social and political context surrounding life in the South at the turnn of century, also plays a big role.

Addressing your question directly, it seems like you're mainly being asked to differentiate <u>the storytelling stages of exposition, rising action, climax, resolution</u>, etc. What is revealed in this excerpt (in the context of the tale as a whole), would best fit the category of "rising action". <u>This particular stage occurs </u><u>when the first clues of a potential conflict start to appear, setting things up for further scalation</u><u> towards a climax and eventual resolution in the end.</u>


Hope this helps!

elena-s [515]
I soar from one area to another, looking down on the unfamiliar creatures below me. These creatures are so ordinary and bizarre! They remain on the ground, never once experiencing the exhilaration of a long flight.
also their communicative style! If something, a noise! Every other minute, the creature's voice sounds completely different from the way it does one minute.

They have eyes, a mouth, and what I assume to be hands and legs. They occasionally approach me quite closely, as if they may hurt me. Once they do, I flee, afraid of their evil plans. The strange creatures build a shelter bigger than the tree itself, unlike the nests we, the birds, manufacture and have. and they placed stuff within it! How amazing!

They frequently leave the house and enter a vehicle, which I believe they refer to as a "car." As I watch the machine move away at a speed that even I can't maintain, I gasp in horror as it comes to life. They occasionally leave some of their food outside, and when it is abandoned I fly over and devour it because their meal is in no way similar to ours.

However, these critters and pests may be unfortunate in that they are unable to fly. They were unable to fly away from their problems.

s protecting her own reputation the only reason Elizabeth wants Proctor to ‘break his promise’? page 1128
Orlov [11]

Elizabeth isn't worried about her reputation, she's worried about John Proctor's reputation because she cares a lot about what happens to him.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see from the context of your question, that it refers to the play "The Crucible."

When we read this play, we have access to the following information:

  • John and Elizabeth Proctor are a Puritan couple and they hire a housekeeper to help Elizabeth with the housework.
  • This maid is named Abigail and she and John have an affair.
  • When Elizabeth discovers this, she fires Abigail and agrees with John to try to rekindle the marriage.
  • John is very remorseless and decides to cut off contact with Abigail.
  • However, Abigail doesn't accept the way she was treated and as a way to get revenge on John, she decides to accuse Elizabeth of practicing witchcraft.
  • This causes Elizabeth to be arrested and tried, which possibly will lead to her being sentenced to death.
  • Elizabeth made John promise that he would never reveal the extramarital affair he had with Abigail, however, John ends up revealing this to the court in an attempt to save Elizabeth.

John was a very respected and admired man in Salem. Elizabeth knew that if he revealed the case of adultery, all his reputation would be gone. She cared a lot about her husband and would rather tarnish her reputation and be sentenced to death than risk John losing his reputation.

Importantly, "The Crucible" portrays the events that took place during the Salem Witch trials, showing the problems that this event of mass hysteria caused.

What is Tenzing Norgay's viewpoint in "A Dream Comes True" about being one of the first people to reach the summit of Mount Ever
Mekhanik [1.2K]
I believe the correct answer is A. <span>Norgay thinks that his and Hillary's climb was a victory not only for themselves but for their nations and all men.

The point of Norgay's narrative is in supplementing Hillary's account, which said that Norgay had had many problems during the climb. According to Norgay, it really doesn't matter who made the climb first, because no one would have made it alone. It isn't a single victory of a single man, or even two men. It is a victory for the humanity.</span>
