The Sympathy in Mrs. Mallard’s Life

For the revision, all I want is for you to try your hand at another version of the introduction. You can do some editing on this version or write a different one.

There is a different approach to introductions that I want you to know about, whether you use it in this revision or not.

You can start an essay like this by talking about some related topics, like death, grief, marriage, divorce, or “women who are limited from doing certain things by their husbands.”

You can spend most of the paragraph introducing this topic, but then you must make the connection to the story near the end of the paragraph and make your main point about the character in the final sentence.

For instance, let’s say you start out talking about how women have been limited in the past from doing certain things by their husbands.

Once you establish that idea, then you roll out something like:

“Mrs. Mallard, the main character in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour, represents these women,” and then you’d go on to make your point about her.
