#The story of an hour annotations movie

When it comes to movies, I’m as interest in how the movies are made as I am the movies themselves, and I’m glad someone came up with the idea of bonus features for movie rentals.Īnnotation allows us to access the “bonus features” of things we read. I was amazed to find out that the skydiving scene was real – Tom Cruise actually jumped out of a plane while other skydivers film that scene. I recently watched “Mission Impossible: Fallout and then spent the next hour watching how all the stunts were done. When I rent a movie I’m a sucker for the bonus features.

There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.” and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. Imagery: “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life.Simile: “…except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.”.Ends with a simple sentence, “When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of the joy that kills. ”.This creates a more rapid tone then the beginning sentence.But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.” What was it? She did not know it was too subtle and elusive to name. (commas,semicolons,periods) “There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares.” “The delicious breath of rain was in the air. As the story unravels we begin to get shorter sentences.The story begins with a regular, logical and to the point sentence.It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.” But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. “She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. Descriptive:The essay develops through the accumulation of concrete and specific details revealing the repression of women by men as it is experienced by Mrs.There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.” “There would be no one to live for during those coming years she would live for herself. Women’s lives were restrained to certain thoughts and emotions, not all could be evoked.

“She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her.” “Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.” Pathos: Emotions revealed vary from sad, confused, joyful, and ends with a bittersweet death.“There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. When she sits by her window after crying she begins to notice the flowers blooming and many other things around her.Things only noticed when someone is happy.For women it was a way to show them that freedom may come to late in their lives so they should live their lives for themselves.This story is mainly written for women.Chopin wrote this to show how men weren’t the only means of happiness in a women’s life.Women had boundaries set by men, and were thought to only live for their husbands or men in their life.

Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.” Switches to more emotional and elated tone of a new found freedom.Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.” And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.” “But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. Live your life for yourself and not anyone else, because your chance at freedom may come to late in your life.The Story of an Hour Kate Chopin Jasminne Andy Nick
