This question is about "the storm" by Kate Chopin
Answer Explanation:
1. Calixta is happy at the end of the story because her son and her husband arrive home safely, even in the face of the storm, besides, she does not feel any remorse for the adultery she committed.
2. Everyone is happy because she has a family that was not destroyed by her actions, and they know that adultery is impossible to be discovered, so their lives, as they are used to, will be maintained.
3. Reading the short story, we have the impression that the author does not encourage adultery, but does not see it as something capable of destroying a family and ruining the marriage, but rather as something that can be kept secret, without hurting anyone.
4. The only moral tone that can be considered in this story is that people should do what they want and make them happy regardless of the rules established by society.

Answer:
Unable to cross the Teklanika River, Christopher McCandless heads back to the bus. He hunts. He also underlines several key passages in Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago that address the prospect of living a modest life of service to others. He leaves an enthusiastic note beside a passage saying that happiness is only real when shared with other people. Krakauer interprets this to mean that he may have had an epiphany because of his journey. McCandless’s diary also suggests that he was planning to go back to society. In his diary, McCandless left a note that he had been sickened by wild potato or Hedysarum alpinum seeds. But this leads Krakauer to more questions. H. alpinum seeds contain a toxin when they begin to sprout, but why would McCandless have eaten so many sprouted seeds? McCandless could have confused wild potato with wild sweet pea, a similar-looking species.
