From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions a

re both fish-loving mammals. Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.
In the passage about seals and sea lions, which transition is used to add an idea? (5 points)
a
However

Moreover

melomori [17]
Using a natural voice is important than using an ideal voice. The passage tells us that many people that have the prestige of having a low voice, try to alter their voice, which can cause voice damage. While Choice C is correct, it is not the main idea, while Choice A would be.

The Story of an Hour

ideas

Richards and Josephine must share the death of her husband to Louise Mallard. They believe they should be gentle, as they believe her to be fragile. However, Louise becomes empowered by the loss of her husband and begins to consider her life as being better. She considers the freedoms that can occur from not having a husband anymore. This is an unexpected and surprising response, as the traditional view is that she will mourn her husband and be unhappy about being a widow. Yet, by the end, there is an unexpected twist: the husband is still alive. Louise’s happiness is short -lived and she dies of the shock of having to return to her unhappiness.

context

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author. She lived in a time when women had few rights, including the vote. The role of women was to be subservient to men and to obey them. Women were unable to have their independence and they were expected to marry and produce children. Many women felt trapped at the time and they were not free to have career paths.

author’spurpose

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author. She was of French and Irish descent. She lived in many different areas and she wished to express her ideas about 19th century Southern American society.

Chopin had bold ideas regarding society at the time. She took an interest in the suffering of others and the struggle for identity. Although she was not a feminist, she understood the suppression of women at the time and how they were not equal to men.

language

Repetition and Metaphors

Throughout the story, ‘open’ is repeated. It shows the freedom that she now possess and the lack of restrictions that once contained her. The fact that she can see: ‘Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own’ shows that she feels that it feels natural to her to have this freedom. The trees are almost a metaphor: ‘tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life.’ They reflect her inner self. She feels that she is now in the ‘spring’ of life and it is time for her to grow and blossom.

Remember: metaphors are when you compare something directly to another object.

Simile

Similes are where you compare one thing to another using ‘like’ or ‘as’. Towards the end, Louise descends the stairs:

‘like a goddess of Victory’.

This emphasises the power that she now feels at being widowed and she feels as though she can achieve anything. She almost feels like royalty.

structure

The story is set across one hour and it is worth considering how one hour can change your life completely. The story contains multiple short paragraphs that contain multiple short sentences. It is almost as if these are the seconds and the minutes of Louise’s life. It is important to recognise that we know little of Louise and Brently’s marriage. We know nothing of their past, as this is just one hour. We can only empathise to a certain degree.

Ending

Towards the end of the story, Chopin states:

‘She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.’

This is an important quote as, although it appears heartless, it suggests the hope that now exists in Louise’s life. It suggests that one event can change your life and your outlook completely.

Yet, this feeling does not last, as there has been a mistake: her husband is still alive. This results in:

‘When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease—of joy that kills.’It appears as though the lack of freedom and the life that she would have to endure as a wife killed her. She was so overwhelmed by the possible happiness, that once it was snatched away, she could not survive.

appears as though Chopin is suggesting that happiness is important and the ability to be free is a life goal.

exam practice

Within the exam, you will be asked to compare one text to another of your choice. Here are 3 example essays that you could practice. You must consider the use of language and structure in your answer:

Compare the sense of freedom in ‘The Story of An Hour’ to another text of your choice.

How are women presented in ‘The Story of An Hour’? Compare it to a text of your choice.

What is the goal of a sustainable environment?
Assoli18 [71]
The definition of a sustainable environment is an <span>environment that can simultaneously meet the needs of the ones living in the environment without damaging it. Therefore, B would be incorrect because there is no concern for the environment's safety. C would also not make sense because it implies that there will be damage to the environment. D also does not make sense because there is nothing concerning the equilibrium between those who exist in the environment and the environment. Therefore A should be your best answer by choice.</span>
