Rankin’s response to Chopin’s writing is that <span>Rankin is complimentary of Chopin's regional style. The excerpt you are referring is this one: </span><span>In The Awakening under her touch the Creole life of Louisiana glowed with a rich exotic beauty. The very atmosphere of the book is voluptuous, the atmosphere of the Gulf Coast, a place of strange and passionate moods.</span>
<span>Satire is taking real world events and exacerbating the shortcomings. The word "modest" indicates to the reader that the material they are about to read is anything but modest.</span>
