Remember that stage directions are written into the script of a play, they indicate the actors and everyone reading it, about: the location of a scene, a sound (and where it's comming from), how does a person, place or thing looks, and the psychological or emotional stage of a character.
So the correct answers are:
- Character's action and behaviours: here we can see that Nora pays the Porter, shuts the door, takes off her hat, etc.
- Character's gestures: we can see the directions indicate that Nora laughs to herself.

In the post-war period, Thomas Jefferson's United States Declaration of Independence, his influence on the United States Constitution, his autobiography, the Notes on the State of Virginia, and his many letters solidify his spot as one of the most talented early American writers. The Federalist essays by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay presented a significant historical discussion of American government organization and republican values. Fisher Ames, James Otis, and Patrick Henry are also valued for their political writings and orations.
Much of the early literature of the new nation struggled to find a uniquely American voice in existing literary genre, and this tendency was also reflected in novels. European forms and styles were often transferred to new locales and critics often saw them as inferior.
