Document Summary
Compare/contrast do: find areas to compare and contrast and write them in the body paragraphs. Jumps back and forth between two objects/ideas. Uses transitional words (e. g: on the other hand) Louise mallard: has heart trouble, does not fully love her husband because brently may not be loving and repressive, felt free from marriage but dies at the end from shock (brently still alive) Josephine: louise"s sister, broke the news of brently"s death to louis in broken sentences with veiled hints. Richards: brently mallard"s friend, heard the news at the newspaper office of brently"s death at a railroad accident, maybe having an affair with louise (shielded brently when he came back) Brently mallard: louise"s loving and repressive husband mallard: species of waterfowl (duck), mates only once, females lack colour and males look flamboyant. Setting: most likely in the same time period that kate chopin (the author) lived in (1851-1904) and likely the us.
