Gender: Louise is a female character, and because of that and her ties to marriage she felt that she was being "kindly oppressed." In the late 1800s it was a very male dominant time period, as head of the household they made the major decisions, whether it was financially or life decisions in general.(pg.17)
Setting: The patches of blue sky foreshadow the joy she will feel later, it is mentioned twice.
POV: 3rd person omniscient- allows us to have insight into the characters, how the death of Brently Mallard was discovered, etc.
-Louise was afraid of the emotion of joy that was growing within her, it was not a social norm for women to be glad upon learning that their husband has died.
-His friend, Richards carelessly spread the news of Mallard's death without truly confirming if it was true.(pg.2)

Conclusion: her heart disease represented the way society viewed a mentality like hers, and it ironically became the death of her, and her husband ended up being alive.]]> 2016-11-16 13:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/6t2t3ruh75xi/wish/138058324 nather2917 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/6t2t3ruh75xi/wish/138058398 Why a character acts in a particular way: The narrator has a crush on a girl and acts the way he does because he's young and has a school boy feeling.

Does the character change/learn anything in the course of the story? : "Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger."
Setting: How the setting affects characters: The story is set in the late 19th century, this affects the character because nowadays, guys are more upfront with their feelings, while back then, it was rare for men to show their feelings toward women. 
Plot Structure: What the ending means: The ending of Araby shows realization and how childish it was to chase over someone who most likely didn't know he existed. 
Literary Motif or Theme: Whether the story is about a break with school conventions, the initiation into adulthood...: The character breaks into adulthood of the end short story. 
What the story says about war, poverty, love, alienation, or some other general theme: The story says (about love) that love can be overwhelming and hit you like a train.

She says, "And yet she had loved him-sometimes." Early feminism is introduced, and the wife is beginning to realize the freedom of herself from her husband's dominance. 
Setting: The setting is during the 1800s. During this time period, women are seen as property to their husbands and serve no significant role in society other than providing for their husband. She expresses this by saying, "Free! Body and soul free!" She is relieved from the chains and burdens of the male superiority, and realizes she is an independent women. 
Psychological stance: This being, her overwhelming happiness of a railroad accident causing the death of her husband. She says, "Free, free, free...joy that held her." And, while the town weeped she was reflecting herself in nature, having a refreshing mood when actually realizing her husbands death. She says, "In the open square before her house the top of trees...with new spring life." 
Theme: Femininity & the strive for independence/effects of oppression. These themes are encouraged due to the hardships women faced in the 1800s time period. Women are seen as property to men and Mrs.Mallard is overjoyed at her husband's death because she is finally able to be independent from being a puppet to the society. She empowers women by introducing the idea of happiness and free-will, from the ideal role of women in the 1800s and the unjust treatments they faced.
Plot structure: In the ending, Mr. Mallard walks in the front door and indeed, is not dead nor was he even close too the area where the accident was. However, his wife dies of a heart attack. Ironically, not because of the mourning of her husband's death, but of the overwhelming happiness over his death. She was so exultant about finally being free from subjugation, that her heart literally failed to beat again. ]]> 2016-11-16 13:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/6t2t3ruh75xi/wish/138058647 clamenr7417 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/6t2t3ruh75xi/wish/138058798 POV: The story is told in first person. We know all of the things that the boy is feeling or thinking. It gives the audience a better understanding of his feelings towards the girl.
Setting: The Araby is a mysterious bazaar which relates to the girl because he's trying to get something from both places. THe lady working at the bazaar "seemed to have spoken to me of a sense of duty" showing she didn't really care much for him and his needs.
Character: Throughout the story he realizes that his crush isn't that important. It says "I lingered before her stall, though I knew my stay was useless, to make my interest in her wares seem the more real" this shows the audience how the narrator comes to the realization that he is irrelevant and his "relationship" with his crush is imaginary. The sentence, " Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger," shows how the main character in the end finds his whole situation pointless. 
Theme: Is the narrator's initiation into adulthood by realizing that his 'love' for his crush was simply him being naive. At the end of the story, he grows and learns that his crush on the girl is not reciprocated. ]]> 2016-11-16 13:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/6t2t3ruh75xi/wish/138058798
