Mr. Pontellier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and needed looking after, then, he lit a cigar and went and sat near the open door to smoke it.
Mrs. Pontellier was quite sure Raoul had no fever. He had gone to bed perfectly well, she said, and nothing had ailed him all day. Mr. Pontellier was too well acquainted with fever symptoms to be mistaken, but he assured her the child was consuming at that moment in the next room.
He reproached his wife with her inattention, her habitual neglect of the children. If it was not a mother's place to look after children, whose on earth was it? He himself had his hands full with his brokerage business, and he could not be in two places at once; making a living for his family on the street, and staying at home to see that no harm befell them. He talked in a monotonous, insistent way.
Mrs. Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the next room, but she soon came back and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning her head down on the pillow. She said nothing and refused to answer her husband when he questioned her. When his cigar was smoked out he went to bed, and in half a minute he was fast asleep.
Mrs. Pontellier was by that time thoroughly awake. She began to cry a little and wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her peignoir. Blowing out the candle, which her husband had left burning, she slipped her bare feet into a pair of satin mules at the foot of the bed and went out on the porch, where she sat down in the wicker chair and began to rock gently to and fro.

Do you think learning about historical
events can guide people to behave
differently? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, but it depends on the approach.

Explanation:

You won't learn anything from history if you simply memorize and listen. The way it's taught is crucial. For example, if you say so and so died in the Holocaust, so and so was in this country, etc etc, you'll feel desensitized to what is being discussed. If you say John Albert died in the Holocaust, John Albert had two sons and a five year old daughter, and then go on to express the brutal ways he was treated as a result of being Jewish during the Holocaust, whoever is learning about the Holocaust is going to feel like it's much more real to them. It's a psychology fact.

The central character is an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago, who has not caught a fish for 84 days. The family of his apprentice, Manolin, has forced the boy to leave the old fisherman, though Manolin continues to support him with food and bait. Santiago is a mentor to the boy, who cherishes the old man and the life lessons he imparts. Convinced that his luck must change, Santiago takes his skiff far out into the deep waters of the Gulf Stream, where he soon hooks a giant marlin. With all his great experience and strength, he struggles with the fish for three days, admiring its strength, dignity, and faithfulness to its identity; its destiny is as true as Santiago’s as a fisherman. He finally reels the marlin in and lashes it to his boat.However, Santiago’s exhausting effort goes for naught. Sharks are drawn to the tethered marlin, and, although Santiago manages to kill a few, the sharks eat the fish, leaving behind only its skeleton. After returning to the harbour, the discouraged Santiago goes to his home to sleep. In the meantime, others see the skeleton tied to his boat and are amazed. A concerned Manolin is relieved to find Santiago alive, and the two agree to go fishing together.

Read the excerpt from act 3 of A Doll’s House.

Nora: And I—how am I fitted to bring up the children?

Helmer: Nora!

Nora: Didn't you say so yourself a little while ago—that you dare not trust me to bring them up?

Helmer: In a moment of anger! Why do you pay any heed to that?

Nora: Indeed, you were perfectly right. I am not fit for the task. There is another task I must undertake first. I must try and educate myself—you are not the man to help me in that. I must do that for myself. And that is why I am going to leave you now.

Helmer [springing up]: What do you say?

Nora: I must stand quite alone, if I am to understand myself and everything about me. It is for that reason that I cannot remain with you any longer.

Which 1800s societal expectation does the excerpt most challenge?

Women were expected to raise children and be caregivers.
Women were supposed to educate themselves without assistance.
Women were obligated to share the same opinions as men.
Women were required to forgive men’s emotions, especially anger.

Answers

Answer: Nora: And I—how am I fitted to bring up the children? Helmer: Nora! Nora: Didn't you say so yourself a little while ago—that you dare not trust me to bring

Explanation: hope this helps :)

The excerpt most challenges the societal expectation that women are expected to raise children and be caregivers, which is option A. In the passage, Nora questions her ability to raise her own children, acknowledging that her husband was correct in saying that he could not trust her to do so.

What is this text about?  

During the 1800s, society had rigid gender roles where men and women had separate spheres. Men were expected to work outside the home and provide for their families, while women were expected to stay at home, raise children, and maintain the household. Women were not supposed to pursue education or professional careers because it was believed that their primary role was to take care of their families.The excerpt from "A Doll's House" challenges this societal expectation by showing Nora's desire to break free from the traditional role of a woman as a caregiver.

Hence, the excerpt most challenges the societal expectation that women are expected to raise children and be caregivers, which is option A.
