Answer:

Lindbergh book was a chance for women to think outside the box, in 1950.

She instigates the reader to confront the unknow, so that he or she can experience new things.

Explanation:

In her book Lindbergh talks about relationships, specially marriage, and how women could be more than just a housewife, and how would be healthier for married people to be able to develop their own individuality.

When she instigates the reader to confront the unknown, it is a powerful and positive thing to do, because when we explore new things our lives change. Our horizon expands and our minds become more inclined to accept new things.

The unknown might seen a little bit unconfortable in the beginning, but then, it shifts us. Narrowmind thoughts are no longer allowed and we are suddenly susceptible to new points of view. For instance, a very simple example is a place or city that you had never being before, in the first moment you might not like it, but as soon as you start exploring, knowing and learning about it, you will be surprised with the amount of great stuff you will experience.

The best conclusion is Lindbergh conclusion, "the unknown is not to be feared". She is right. We should be delighted by the unknown, the expectations, the mistery behind it. That is the beauty of life. That is what makes life spontaneous and amazing. We never have the same day twice.

In 2–3 complete sentences, thoroughly explain the protagonist's main motivation or goal in your Module One short story? What doe

Dafna11 [192]

In the short story "Condensed Milk," by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982), the protagonist appears to have two main motivations: hunger and revenge.

The protagonist's name is never revealed. He is a prisoner at a Gulag, a Russian forced-labor camp. He is sick from exhaustion and starvation, and emotionally dulled to the lack of empathy and dignity of his condition.

When another prisoner, who is treated much better than the protagonist, offers him a chance to escape, the protagonist almost immediately realizes the whole thing is a trap. He lies to the man, tells him he agrees with escaping as long as he is brought some condensed milk to eat. At this moment, hunger seems to be the main motivation:

I fell asleep and in my ragged hungry dreams saw Shestakov's can of condensed milk, a monstrous can with sky-blue label.

When he is brought two cans, the protagonist drinks their contents to only then reveal he does not intend to participate in the plan. This where we find out about his need for revenge. He knows Shestakov is a traitor:

It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings.

NOTE: I know the question asks only for two or three sentences, but I found it important to add context to the answer. Feel free to edit and shorten it.
