Ineed just need a little push. what is the setting of the awakening at the beginning of the novel? explain how chopin uses description, specifically word choice, to develop the setting. use specific details or quotations from the text as support.

The setting of the  awakening at the beginning of the novel is on the grand isle, off the coast of Louisiana and this was on the island Cheniere Caminada which was across the bay and the set happened in the late 1900 century.

Chopin uses some stylistic control over her words in the description. Chopin is able to use formal rules of grammar. The sentences she uses are exact and sharp. Chopin choice of words are also precise\

“Coming back to dinner?” his wife called after him. He halted a moment and shrugged his shoulders. He felt in his breast-pocket; there was a ten-dollar bill there. He did not know; perhaps he would return for the early dinner and perhaps he would not. It all depended upon the company which he found over at Klein’s and the size of “the game.” He did not say this, but she understood it, and laughed, nodding good-by to him.

This shows how Chopin is able to alternate between specific and somewhat vague in her narration. For example, he uses several paragraphs when describing one object.

because each is self-sufficient.
