Read the excerpt from "a pair of silk stockings" by kate chopin.
a young girl who stood behind the counter asked [mrs. sommers) if she wished to examine their line of silk hosiery.
she smiled, just as if she had been asked to inspect a tiara of diamonds with the ultimate view of purchasing it. but
she went on feeling the soft, sheeny luxurious things-with both hands now, holding them up to see them glisten, and
to feel them glide serpent-like through her fingers.
how does mrs. sommers's enjoyment of this simple pleasure reflect chopin's experiences, as explained in "a new
biographical approach." by emily toth?
it mirrors chopin's own enjoyment of exploring new orleans.
it mirrors chopin's own indulgences on her european honeymoon.
it mirrors chopin's own affection for her friend kitty
it mirrors chopin's own preference for quality craftsmansho
