Read the excerpt from chapter 17 of the awakening.

once she stopped, and taking off her wedding ring, flung it on the carpet. when she saw it lying there, she stamped her heel upon it, striving to crush it. but her small boot heel did not make an indenture, not a mark upon the little glittering circlet. in a sweeping passion she seized a glass vase from the table and flung it upon the tiles of the hearth. she wanted to destroy something. the clash and clatter were what she wanted to hear. a maid, alarmed at the din of breaking glass, entered the room to discover what was the matter. “a vase fell upon the hearth,” said edna. “never mind; leave it till morning.” “oh! you might get some of the glass in your feet, ma’am,” insisted the young woman, picking up bits of the broken vase that were scattered upon the carpet. “and here’s your ring, ma’am, under the chair,” edna held out her hand, and taking the ring, slipped it upon her finger.

The Awakening is a novel written by Kate Chopin and published in 1899. It tells the story of Edna Pontellier, a woman that fights against the social establishment of the 19th century. It is generally considered a feminist text since it questions the role of women and their duties during that time. The main character, Edna, starts to question her role as a wife and mother after she finds out that her husband Leónce has been cheating on her. Throughout the novel, she learns to consider herself an independent woman.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
