Synthesis of sources Claim: Personal agency lies at the core of Chopin’s writing, where individuals seek and either find or fail to find their own escapes from social and personal directions . Chopin believed that authentic existence is less a matter of choice than of necessity, and this idea informs her fundamentally deterministic vision of human nature. Chopin’s writing presents people and society “as forever ruled by the gospel of selfishness which makes basic improvement impossible” (Critical Biography 90). Allen Stein believes Chopin’s view of human selfishness emphasizes the futility of seeking human improvements by either restraining or rebelling; as a result, Chopin’s marriage stories rarely touch on social or moral implications of marriage (165). Instead, they deal with whether characters are able to find happiness within the institution, whether marriage constrains them or not. Rarely arguing against marriage, she centers her themes on personal dignity . By seeking authentic existences, Chopin’s protagonists share these principles on human dignity, whether their goals lie within or outside of society’s limitations. Chopin’s subject matter remains consistent throughout, with her primary concern usually being the conflicting nature of people's needs for a secure place or role in life, for love, and for autonomy. In developing this theme, Chopin depicts characters striving to subvert typical definitions, 14 including female roles: “one might say that it is the woman against stifling sexual standards or that it is the woman against the tedium of a provincial marriage” (Wolf 449). However, Chopin’s mission goes further; too much attention to the “ female ” in “ female emancipation ” obscures the real force and focus of her

literary efforts. Chopin’s tales repeatedly turn on whether or not characters lead authentic existences. Not only does her most recognized protagonist, Edna Pontellier, systematically transcend conventional social and personal boundaries, characters in her shorter works also seek to exert essential identities unencumbered by social prerogatives or personal limits . Part 2 : Choose two paragraphs from you draft of the Longer Research paper. Look at the following check list and number the examples within the following text. For example, underline and write 1 on the parts that exemplify number 1 . 1 Topic sentence 2 Summary sentence, a sentence that summarizes the ideas of the paragraph . 3 Words or phrases in the topic sentence(s) and summary sentence(s) that make explicit connections to the claim of the paper 4 . Words or ideas that connect the second paragraph the previous paragraph . 5 . Cohesive device: repetition, synonyms, pronouns 6 . Synthesis of sources Part 3 : Pick one substantial paragraph from your paper. Mark the subjects and the verb in each sentence . Do you tend to keep subjects and verbs together, or do you separate them? How many words come between them? Find a sentence with the most separation between subject and verb and rewrite the sentence. Which do you like better? Why ?
