Okay, so i'm going to help you get started with writing a well -organized essay that responds to the topic.
00:11
And so when you're starting this, it wants you to analyze the protagonist, louise, emotional journey, and kate chopin's the story of the hour, focusing on the theme of repression and oppression.
00:43
So theme is repression and oppression.
00:54
To help students understand how to approach this essay, what you want to do is you want to outline to guide them in developing a structured and focused response.
01:04
So you're going to start with an introduction.
01:09
You're going to briefly introduce the story of an hour and kate chopin as a the writer.
01:25

03:45
Anyone else.

04:05
Then your second paragraph, you're going to talk about the internal conflict of repression.
04:24
You're going to bring the point...
