Last Blog First Question


11. Write an essay about Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”  analyzing Mrs. Mallards character. Your essay should be clear, concise, and grammatically correct.

In Kate Copin’s “The Story of an Hour” Mrs Mallard is a character full of ambiguities who is happiest for herself is stronger upset about the loss of her husband’s life.  Firstly, Mrs. Mallard initially tries to fight back her ironic feelings of happiness in her room after being told of her husband’s death.  Secondly, Mrs. Mallard accepts that she is happier for freedom from her husband. Lastly, the interactions of Richards and Josephine with Mrs. Mallard are indicative that Richards and Josephine believing that Mrs. Mallard is going to be devastated which is to the contrary.

  1. Thanks Nicholas,

    I like the clear thesis here and the statement of enumeration that provides a clear scope for the essay to follow. The words "firstly, secondly, lastly" make your writing feel a bit stiff. They're not wrong, but you should ask yourself whether they are necessary.

    Be careful of your grammar. Your first sentence, for example, looks like there might be a word missing: "who is happiest for herself is stronger upset about" doesn't make any sense.
