Answer:

To help the reader picture the separation between Grand Isle and the coast of Louisiana.

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" revolves around the story of Edna Pontellier, a woman, and her desire of living her true self and being free to do that. The story deals with themes of independence, feminism, identity, freedom, etc.

The given passage is from the first chapter of the story where the narrator reveals the scene of the cottage at Grand Isle. The Pontelliers had come to the holiday spot to get away from New Orleans for a few days. And when the narrator reveals that the <em>"paper"</em> is a day old and that the <em>"Sunday papers had not yet reached Grand Isle"</em>, we can know that there is some distance between Grand Isle and New Orleans.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

In the poem “second estrangement” what is the authors message ? Respond in one paragraph using text evidence to support your ide

sammy [17]

Answer:

<h3>Realizing that the world is filled with strangers.</h3>

Explanation:

In the poem "Second Estrangement", the poet presents the image of an innocent child who realizes that the world is filled with strangers. She says that one does not realize how scary and estrange the world is until he/she is lost and all alone.

Through the lines "<em>only to see the face look strangely down, utterly foreign, utterly not the one who loves you</em>", <u>the poet presents the idea of seeing the reality of life. </u>Just like the child, everyone of us think we are in a safe place until we see the reality of life.
Then she ends the poem with the lines "<em>How far the world you knew, & tall, & filled, finally, with strangers." </em>to ironically bring the message of life's cruelty and reality.
