Then describe the way she is characterized at the end of the story. Explain why she changes from the beginning to the end of the story. Be sure to use specific examples from the text to support your answer.

In the beginning,  Elisa presents herself as a rigid and reserved woman, educated and kind. By the end of the story, her husband notes that she is different, with more confidence, strength, and even happiness. But at the same time, for herself,  sad for not feeling understood by men.

The change is the talk she has with the stranger, believing that the man had an interest in her garden but in the end, she realizes that he was a liar and that distresses her.

" In a moment it was over. The thing was done. She did not look back" (When she notices the man throws her chrysanthemums)

the answer is slaves

douglas was a slave who turned into a statesman and he refused to celebrate the 4th of july until all slaves were emancipated or set free.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
