Read the excerpt from Edith Wharton's short story "April Showers," which was published in 1900: For a few weeks longer she must bear to be misunderstood; then--ah, then if her novel were accepted, how gladly would she forget and forgive! But what if it were refused? She turned aside to hide the dismay that flushed her face. Well, then she would admit the truth--she would ask her parents' pardon, and settle down without a murmur to an obscure existence of mending and combing.

How does Theodora's attitude in this excerpt typify the thoughts of many women during Wharton's day?
Many women aspired to work at fulfilling careers, but they lacked the opportunity to do so.
Most women wanted a better education so that they could relate to their husbands and fathers.
Women were tired of housework and wished that men took more interest in the home.
Many women were weary of working to make a living, and they wanted to just be homemakers.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?

"it's more of an essay than story, but perhaps it is best described as a mood-piece: it uses a lot of musical imagery, not to mention sea imagery, religious imagery, and any other imagery that suits his purpose."

he was looking for nothing because this question had no complete sentence.
