The Awakening

At that early period it served but to bewilder her. It moved her to dreams, to thoughtfulness, to the shadowy anguish which had overcome her the midnight when she abandoned herself to tears.

Below is another umapper containing a tone thesis and a look into the imagery of our sentence. If this umapper is not working then please view it here.












Last but not least, we have a look into the syntax of Chopin's sentence in the novel The Awakening. Below is a view mapper and a regular jpeg to view the syntax. Once again, if this umapper does not work please view it here.

Superb job, ladies. Excellent analyses. Your visual presentations bring your ideas to life.Bravo!

Great job girls. My group had this sentence also and we came at it with a different approach. We thought about it more as a mother abandons a child- being lonely and in the dark and cold, rather than Cinderella (that was very interesting, by the way).
She did take a step of faith to get out into the waters, but immediately began sinking. This could foreshadow what is going to later happen in the book.

Visual depiction was awsome. I was in the group with Destiny and we had the same sentence as you guys. I worked on the diction in our group and did the same words. I took another look on the way I did it. I took it, not as a prince leaving, but a girl left behind to fend for her self.

I thought the use of pictures really complimented the project and added emphasis to the syntax especially. The picture with the eye was subtle, yet it brought so much more to the project. The project was very well constructed.
