A Sorrowful Woman

You have already discussed how the author moves the action in The Story of an Hour. Now I want you to do the same thing with A Sorrowful Woman. Read and reread paying attention to how the story is organized and what ways Godwin uses to move it from scene to scene. Do you see any similarities with The Hour? Write your answer in the best paragraph you can, with a strong topic sentence, developing idea, and support. Respond to two classmates this time.

The Story of an Hour

In an academic article or an essay, writers use connectors and transitions to show the relationship between sentences and paragraphs. Fiction is not academic writing. Authors must use language to build tension, create mood, and move from scene to scene.  What kind of language does Kate Chopin use to move through her story? In other words, how does she create flow,make transitions between scenes, and build tension?

Main character

Who is the main character of your novel? How would you describe him/her? Be specific. What is his/her biggest challenge? Can you identify with this person? Why or why not? Use a variety of tenses and the AWL. Respond to one classmate.

Poetry

Choose one of the poems we've read and explain why you like it. Be sure to mention the language , topic, and theme.

Then reply to one of your classmates. Use accurate sentence formation, paying attention to punctuation and spelling. Use vocabulary from the chapter when possible.
