The author's central message is that one should not become so indulged in their work because work is not something that truly matters in the long run. The people who decide to choose work over everything lose connection with the people that mean the most in life. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008796 connor_farrington https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008797 1.  Share evidence that helps establish a particular tone throughout the story.
"A company friend said, 'I know how much you will miss him.' And she answered, 'I already have.'" (Goodman 39-41). 
2.  How does that evidence help establish that particular tone?
It establishes a nonchalant tone because it is just showing how the wife is already used to him always being gone. 
3.  How does that tone contribute to the main themes present in the story?
This tone helps contribute to the main themes present in the story because it shows how the man who died, Phil, has lost the connection with someone who matters most in his life, his wife. This is sad because he becomes so overwhelmed with his work that he doesn't take the time to try to reform any connections he had with people who really care about him. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008797 connor_farrington https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008798 1.  What is the author trying to say about the obstacles that get in the way of success for certain groups of people?
The obstacles that get in the way of success for certain people is that they get so involved in having a job and they begin to forget about the things that are suppose to truly matter in life. Being successful is not only about having a good job, but it is also about having a family or a group of people who you can rely on. It is very important to have relationships to people, and not let other things get in the way of that. ]]> 2018-03-01 16:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008798 connor_farrington https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008799 Give a specific example for how the two relate in relation to the essential question.

"And yet she loved him--sometimes. Often she had not. what did it matter! What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in the face or this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!"

The setting shed light on her future life.]]> 2018-03-01 16:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008801 connor_farrington https://padlet.com/connor_farrington/3r9a737kr578/wish/237008802 1.  How does the situational irony contribute to our understanding of the themes present?
After her husband passed away, the setting is expected to be very gloomy and dark but Chopin makes it bright and cheerful almost.  This foreshadows her thoughts. 

2.  How does the dramatic irony contribute to our understanding of the themes present?
