Question

These question is about the story, "The Awakenening"

By choosing to devote herself to her art Mademoiselle Reisz (5 points)
• has gone against the expectations of Creole society for women.
• has made herself an outcast of sorts.
• has gained the admiration and respect of the Creole society.
• both the first and second choices above

• both the first and third choices above

I think that it is the first and second choices.

why does adele tell edna to "think of the children" when adele sees her in the hospital after giving birth to another child?

Adele suspects Edna is having an affair
Adele suspects Edna is contemplating suicide
Edna tells Adele she is leaving Leonce
All of the above
None of the above

Answer 7

If, after reading the story, you can't remember what Edna said to Adele (did she say she's leaving Leonce?), go back and re-read the scene to find out. And was Madamoiselle Reisz an outcast or wasn't she? After having read the story, what do you think?
