Thank you Mam "Moral Education"

The people that I think are responsible are the child’s parents. The parents are responsible for teaching their kids on how to act. Growing up my parents taught me how to act in front of people. They would tell me never to interrupt an adult when they are speaking. They also taught me how to treat other people with respect. I grew up knowing how to act at the dinner table. Seeing other kids in the streets there were not as lucky as I was. Some of them did not have parents who cared about them so they grew up learning the wrong things.
Also I think that the teachers don’t always have a part to do with teaching the kids with moral education. Some teachers would take their time and help the kids that were not lucky enough to have parents that cared about them. Then again some teachers would just teach their lesson that they had for the day and not care about anyone else. Again I was lucky because the school I went to the teachers would care about their students and help them if they had any problems.

Story of An Hour questions

1. The story says Mrs. Mallard “had loved him [her husband]–sometimes. Often she did not.” If she was “often” not in love with him, why did she marry him?
She married her husband was because maybe he had money or it could have been arranged for her to marry him.
2. What was life like for Mrs. Mallard in the home of Brently Mallard?
Life was not good for Mrs. Mallard because she was not happy. When she found out her husband died she was happy. So it shows that she was not happy when her husband was alive.
3. In the report of the train accident, Brently Mallard's name was at the top of the list of fatalities (Paragraph 2). Does this information mean that Mallard was an important citizen in his community? Does it also suggest that perhaps Louise married him, in part, because of his standing in the community?
I think that part of why Mrs. Mallard married her husband was because of his standing in the community. Mr. Mallard could have been an important man in the community. Maybe it could have been by chance his name was first on the list.
4. Do you believe Brently Mallard mistreated his wife? In answering this question, keep in mind the following: (1) In Paragraph 13, Louise Mallard recalls that Brently was kind and that "he had never looked save with love upon her." (2) However, Paragraph 8 had previously informed the reader that Mrs. Mallard's face "bespoke repression," and Paragraph 14 says Brently had a "powerful will bending her."
Mr. Mallard could have mistreated her because paragraph 14 it said that Brently had “a powerful will bending her.”
5. How much of Mrs. Mallard's apparent unhappiness in her marriage was her own fault?
I don’t think it was Mrs. Mallard’s fault because I think her husband didn’t treat her right.
6. After Mrs. Mallard receives news that her husband died in a train accident, she goes to “her room.” Do these two words mean that she slept separately from her husband? Does the fact that no children are named in the story indeed indicate that she and her husband slept apart?
I don’t think they slept apart but once she found out that Mr. Mallard died, it became her room and her house because she was living on her own now.
7. Research the life of Kate Chopin (1851-1904). Then decide whether the death of her husband in 1882 influenced her when she wrote “The Story of an Hour,” published in 1894 in Vogue magazine.
I think that the death of Katie Chopin’s husband did influence her to write the story. I think it helped her express how she felt through the story.
8. Did author Chopin herself face problems similar to those of Mrs. Mallard?
The author faced problems but not the same problems as Mrs. Mallard.

The Story of An Hour

In The Story of An Hour the main character Mrs. Mallard is told about her husband’s death. Her husband died in a train accident. Josephine and her husband’s friend Richards had to break the news to her even though they knew she had a heart problem. The story says that Mrs. Mallard was “young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength”. After hearing about her husband’s death, she locked herself in her room and would not let anyone in. She was happy that her husband had died. Miss. Mallard kept whispering “free, free, free”. Josephine was outside her room insisting that she opens the door. Josephine said that she will make herself ill if she did not open the door. Miss. Mallard didn’t open the door, she noticed the things outside her window, things that someone notices when they are happy like the spring days, and summer days . She thinks about the days she would have a head of her by herself without her husband. Miss. Mallard decided to open the door and go down stairs. As she was going down the stairs someone was opening the front door. It was her husband who walked through the door. He was amazed at Josephine’s cry. Mr. Mallard was far from the accident, and did not know there was an accident. When Mrs. Mallard saw her husband she died. The doctors said that the cause of her death was because of a heart disease.

Texting

Before reading this article on texting I new that many people text while doing other things. I know that people would text when there driving and walking. After reading the article I found out some of the accidents people have been in when they were texting. i found out that a 15-year-old girl fell off her horse when she was texting. Also about the girl who was texting her boyfriend while she was cooking and bunt her leg and arm. This article made me think about what could happen when you text and do other things. I still text and do other things but now i try to be more careful.
