You chose the following answer to Question 3:
| Choice
d) Through her depiction of Mrs. Mallard's husband, Kate
Chopin justifies Mrs. Mallard's joy in her husband's death. |
This argument is unrelated to the thesis statement:
"Through the story Chopin communicates that even if women believe
they are happily married, the "joy" of marriage destroys
a significant part of them." The thesis does not include the
concept of justification, so the argument is irrelevant in this
essay. It does not increase the likelihood that the reader will
accept the validity of the thesis.
Of the remaining choices, which
is the best thesis statement?
Choice
a)
Mrs. Mallard experiences many different emotions when she learns that
her husband is dead.
Choice
b) The progression of emotions that Mrs. Mallard
feels when told of her husband's death shows that she was unaware of her
true feelings about marriage.
Choice
c) Mrs. Mallard is upset when she learns her husband is
dead.
