Mid-term writing test
1.Louise's opinion of marriage is negative. She feels that the woman is too submissive to her husband and cannot express herself freely. We can see this in the twelfth paragraph.
3. She is awaiting the future with great joy: no one to tell her how to behave or what to do. We can see her opinion clearly in the line '' There would be... ;she would live for herself.''
4. Richard and Josephine thought the Mallard's wedding was a beautiful one: Louise was a devoted, young, caring wife who loved her husband enormously. However, Richard loved Louise; therefore, her loss was his gain.
7. She is sad because her husband has died and dying is always something hard to accept. However, she feels joy because she did not really love him and it is more a liberation than a loss.
There are many instances of irony in the story ''The story of an hour''. Indeed, we can notice certain elements hinting towards an ironic atmosphere, while reading. We can see this in the message of the story which is we must not judge someone by his looks, and in the themes of marriage and relationships. For example, Richard is the husband’s friend, but enjoys Brently's death because he is also in love with Louise; so, he is very kind and considerate towards her, not because of her loss, but to use this situation to become more intimate with her.
Also, with the presence of irony in this context, we can deduce the message of the story as: things aren’t always what they seem. As explained before, Richard is supposedly sad for his best friend, but is rather happy for himself. We can feel how he exaggerates his sadness when he says he has to hasten '' in bearing the sad message''. The sad message is not at all sad in his case. Furthermore, the last sentence explains the cause of Louise's death: she died of happiness. However, we know, as the reader, that this is not the case. On the contrary, she was perfectly happy with her husband’s death and had a heart attack because she saw her horrible, repressing, submissive, unhappy life reappear in the form of the man she did not love. Moreover, the author explains to us what is truly marriage: the silent cage to a woman’s freedom. Indeed, it is silent because she cannot express her misery. The general feeling, outside the main character’s head, shows how the other characters think Louise happy in her perfect marriage. But it being not the case is the biggest irony of all. We can conclude that marriage is not seen as a wonderful thing by all of the concerned indivuals. This also demonstrates how the relationship between everyone is mostly shallow. Josephine does not understand the pain her sister must endure in being a wife and believes, like everyone else, that she died of happiness. Furthermore, Richard should be truly sad for his friend’s death, but in not being so we see that their friendship was not as strong as it seemed.
In conclusion, ''The story of an hour'' can be described by the great presence of irony in its plot, characters, and themes: marriage and relationships seem harmonous on the outside, but are mostly shallow on the inside. It makes us requestion ourselves about the way we see one another: we must look deeper than what we only see with our eyes.

Hills like white elephants
1. Introduction:
- Written in 1929
- Ingenious symbolism
- Powerful dialogue
- Iceburg theory
2. Plot summary:
- Jig is pregnant
- Takes place in Spain
- 40 mins
- The American and Jig are waiting for the train at the train station while drinking beer.
- Conversation quickly turns to an operation the American wants Jig to undergo.
- We comprehend that the operation is abortion because of certain sentences like :« But I don't want anybody but you»
- Jig tries to give arguments against the abortion, but the American stays impassive
- Jig finally consents with the argument that she doesn't care about herself and tries to drop the subject.
- The American still tries to convince Jig, because he is unsure that she is completely sure.
3.Themes and recurring elements:
- Abortion
- Alcohol
- Romantic relationships
- Responsibility vs Hedonism ( total pleasure)
- The beer symbolismes the disagreement between the two people, so they try to pass the time and the unease with drinking.
- The white elephant could mean for the American an unuseful and additional cost, while Jig can see it as a wonderful addition to her life.
- The white elephant could also mean the emotional neglect Jig is experiencing. She is the American's white elephant: useless, but there to boast his pride.
4.Symbolism and setting:
- Jig is a dance, slang for sex = object
- White elephant= baby for the man
- Number 2 = two felt pads, bags, drinks, tracks, people ( 3 is a crowd)
- White elephant: expense for American, tries to convince her abortion is best, will resolve all their problems and is very simple.
- Train station divides the fertile land and the barren land: Two choices in life, different understanding of the problem. Division between the couple.
- Jig means sexual intercourse, is her pet name : viewed as an object by the American , only a tool.
5. Dialogue:
- Indicates resentment and unease
- Jig is distant, submissive, the American is rational.
- tone and pattern indicates deeper problem than what we see on the surface.
Formative work: October 24
Course 3: Fundamentals of Writing 4: Editing I
- Interest level: Very interesting. There are different types of exercices. I would recommend this to the students who have problems writing coherent sentences. It teaches you how to watch out for common mistakes while writing.
- Difficulty level: It wasn't very hard, but it helped me a lot. I wouldn't change for a harder course. It was a perfect difficulty level for me to start. I think I will try the next course for the next formative work.
- What you learned ( examples) : I learned to watch out for run-on and run-together sentences, and I learned how to correct them. I learned that neither is always singular. I learned the importance of referring correctly to indefinite pronouns while writing. I learned a very easy trick to help me with pronoun case agreement.
- Score: There isn't a score given at the end of this course.
RATING: 8/10
Course 4: Fundamentals of Writing Course Prompt: Persuasive 1
- Interest level: It is interesting to see how much I can write in a short period of time. I think I lost a lot of points in the length of my text. It is not indicated how long our essay must be. I think we should be given a general idea of how many words we should write. Next time, I will write a longer essay and take more time in writing it.
- Difficulty level: It takes time to write. I wrote quickly and did not review my text. It was easy for me because I did it very quickly, but I should have taken more time to write my essay and work harder on it.
- What you learned: I learned that I have to take the time to write clearly. My sentence structure is weak. My use of punctuation is not very good either. I have a lot of work to do to be able to write clearly and coherently.
- Score: 3/6
RATING: 5/10
