Part 1 Fundamentals of literary analysis
1 The way that Louise Mallard reacts to her husband’s death is different from that of other women in that she had almost sudden joy at her husband’s death.
2 The three things Louise Mallard hears are birds chirping, a merchant yelling his wares, and somebody singing a song. 3. In paragraph’s four and five, the author uses language and imagery to describe Louise’s state of mind. 1 The author uses the imagery of the open sky to show that Louise’s mind is open to new possibilities 2 The author uses simile and

1 in my opinion, pulling a lever to divert the train has less intention to cause harm than pushing somebody over a bridge. 2 If you pull the lever then 5 people are saved
4. If you push the man over the bridge, then you might stop the train and save six people and the people on the train.
5. This position is not persuading to me because then I would be stuck with the guilt of pushing somebody over the bridge and killing them.

j. Comment on the author’s use of illustration. To what physical senses does she appeal most often? What use does she make of metaphor?
From the video I realized that our simple fault can change others life. The young man in the video was picking up his phone call, and he miss the stop sign. At meantime the truck driver on the main road want to avoid crash therefore the truck driver go to the opposite lane and crashing to this narrator’s car. This young man’s simple fault made the truck driver never want to do this job anymore, in fact he is scared of driving now. Our narrator broke a lot of bones and stayed in hospital for a long time and she lost both of her parents. So, before we picking up a call or message when we driving, we should considering about others safety as well, they are the innocent
Typically when a woman loses her husband, the love of her life, especially in a horrific accident, she is usually in a state of sadness, however that is not the case for Mrs. Mallard. When she learns the news of her husband’s death, she does not ask her sister if she is sure that the news is true. Rather, she immediately acknowledges it. Most widows still would have been in denial, but Louis is not like most widows. She is not afraid to show feelings of pleasure; "she sees beyond the bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely.
It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.” (Chopin)The window from which Louise looks outwards from for much of the story is representative of the freedom and prospects that dangle before her after her husband has died. From the window, Louise observes a blue sky, treetops, and clouds. She hears people and birds singing and smells a coming rainstorm. Everything that she gathers through her senses hints towards happiness and renewal. When she gazes and contemplates towards the sky, she feels the first sense of bliss. Once she fully takes in this array of emotions, she feels that the open window is sustaining her with life itself. The open window provides a clear, unobstructed view towards the distance and Louise’s own bright future, which is now unshackled of the wants and needs of another person. It is, therefore, no coincidence that when Louise turns away from the window and her view, she promptly loses her freedom as well.
Mallard cries dramatically at first, as any other woman at the time would. She then excuses herself to her room to be alone. She sits numb in an armchair facing an open window and begins to think of what her life will now be like; thoughts that both inspire yet frighten her for it is not how a widow in her society should be thinking. There can be debate on whether or not Louise Mallard is a cruel person. She weeps even when she is alone in her room, but one could say it is more of a physical reflex rather than a surge of emotion.
In the first scenario you are in a trolley cart travelling down a hill on train tracks and there are five people tied to the track ahead. You notice a lever next to you, which will cause the trolley to veer onto another track, missing the five people. However, on the alternate track there is one person tied down. So what is the correct decision to make?
There is five people lives at risk compared to the one man if the train is diverted. In the next one I thought the train should just continue on. It is not right to push that man in front of the train even if there is a possibility of the train stopping. For the next scenario I said that we should push the fat saboteur into the way of the train because of him being the cause for why the train had failed brakes. I also think that the fat man should be tortured because a million people's life is at risk and even though there is a 75% chance that we will get the information it is better than waiting on him and those people
In addition, Louise will mourn her husband’s death, but she is now joyed that she doesn’t have to go through anymore pain from Mr. Mallard. After she realizes that she’s free, she starts planning her new future. Ms. Mallard loved her husband, but she believed that independence

I was initially appalled that some my classmates would choose not to potentially save 5 people. Throughout the class discussion, I kept asking how anyone could decide that one life is more worthy than five lives. I was incredulous. In my understanding of the dynamics of the question, it seemed obvious to me that an outcome of five lives saved was definitely better than an outcome of only one life spared. This question sickened me. If I can’t prove to myself that life, by virtue, has value, how can I make everyday decisions on what is right or wrong? I needed answers, so I approached my teacher.
Personal safety is very important to most people; using this pathos base, a logos argument is built by showing how driving a SUV is not as safe for the
Another voice on the opposite side of the tracks catches your attention, screaming for you to do something, for you to save them. You begin to sweat and your hands begin to shake as the graveness of the situation suddenly dawns on you. If you don’t pull the lever, you let five people die as a result. If you do, one person still dies but you will have been the direct cause of his death. The sound of the train’s horn blares loudly as sweat drips down your face. What do you do? What is the right thing to do here? Is it right to let one person die to save five others? Who are you to decide who lives or dies?
