Bruno Melofiro Prof. La Puma Due 2/14/13 ENG1121 Tu-Th 11:30 3. Write an essay arguing that “The Storm” is (or is not) immoral, or (a different thing) amoral. Kate Chopin’s story “The Storm” was written in 1989. However, this story was surely very much ahead of its time, as Chopin never found a publisher for it during her lifetime due to the immoral and graphic content of it. “The Storm” was not published until 1969, sixty-five years after her death. Although in current times stories such as these are common and hardly controversial, in the late 1800s themes of adultery and sex were largely frowned upon and no respectable magazine would ever dare publish such work. As time progresses, so do our tolerance for such themes and stories, but that does not mean that “The Storm” is seen as a moral story by any means, adultery and lying are still actions that are wrong and unacceptable, and although they can surely be talked about freely, they should not be celebrated. At the beginning of the story, Bobinot is with Bibi at Freidheimer’s store, where Bobinot decides to take shelter with his son until the storm passes, since it is no more than an obstruction for him. While they patiently wait, Bobinot purchases a can of shrimp, which his wife Calixta is very fond of. This shows Bobinot as a diligent and loving husband who is thinking about his wife’s needs and wants. Calixta, who at first is depicted as a worrisome and hardworking housewife, later decides…

He was rather outgoing, the kind of person who could gain someones trust with ease. Everyone who met Chris cared for his well being but he always rejected their concern because of his personality traits. Chris did not want people to care for him, he wanted to care for himself and do everything himself, which caused a massive amount of irony in this novel. McCandless died alone but had written a letter (the S.O.S. note) that went unread until it was too late, which is an excellent example of…

Carlos Rico AP World Civ. Mrs. Carter 10/7/13 Per. 6 Classical Athens and Han China share major similarities yet they have distinct differences. Their form of government was different because Han China had an emperor and Classical Athens ran a democracy. When it came to the children both Classical Athens and Han China the murder of a child was justified. Also women in both Empires played a similar role in society. When you have two great empires they always seem to share common…

“In the Snackbar.” Emma Louise Gall “In the Snackbar,” by Edwin Morgan, tells the story of an experience the poet had whilst in a Snackbar in Glasgow. He helps a disabled, old man who is struggling to go to the toilet. We have chosen this poem as it has been written as a result of an anxiety: this experience worried the poet and gave him cause for concern.

Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather. Neo vs. The Agents. Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney. All of these fights are great. My experiment: soil with a base vs. acid rain, who will reign? Acid rain affects plant growth, yet does adding a base to the soil combat the acid rain effects? In my experiment the two competitors will battle it out to see plant height, germination (the development of a plant), and pods produced. If I have three plants in soil with a bases 9, 11, and 14, then I predict the plant…

Forth To The Mighty Conflict. By Allen Cronenberg. (Tuscaloosa and London, A.L.: The University of Alabama Press, 1995.) “The Great Arsenal of the South” most Alabamians called home during the Second World War.

Alabama was strong figuratively, but also economically during this time as it was one of the first states to recover from the Great Depression. Why did Mr.…

New England vs. the Chesapeake Region (DBQ) Settlers arrived to the Chesapeake region only to be greeted by unhealthy lands full of despair and labor. New Englanders, on the other hand, were welcomed by fresh air and clean water. As the years passed, the state of these two lands stabilized a bit with each other, but the people’s way of living in these regions did not. New England and the Chesapeake region developed differently because of the types of people who came to each of these places,…

but it was too late. Chino took a bite out of my butt. I was horrified, my chest was pounding and I was crying. Reina grabbed me said “ Calm down! Chino is an old dog. He has no teeth!” My hysterical crying turned into sobbing. I told her I wanted my mommy and she said “Okay, but let’s stop by my house first”. We walked back to her house, which happened to be the neighborhood convenience store. Reina handed me a popsicle, and she walked me home. My mom had not noticed I was gone. I was only…

a revolutionary for south America, his inspiration was greatly influenced by both french as Spanish cultures. Darío described Modernismo as “new generation of American writers [with] an immense thirst for progress and a lively enthusiasm”. He creates musical poetic illusion through the repetition of sounds in his work. In his poem ‘A Roosevelt’ written in 1904 and extracted from his set of work ‘Cantos de Vida y Esperanza’, Darío repeats certain sounds in order to create a musical effect ‘…
