17. your opinion of the work, good or bad, supported by specific references from the work
The novel "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin is a very interesting book was written in past times, to show how one woman evolves as she develops feelings she has never felt before, for a man other than her husband. I believe this book is a very well written book that has wonderful meaning behind it, but it a bit hard to comprehend on some levels. Since written in older times, there is more elaborate vocabulary, as well as some French language scattered out through the novel.
Even though the book was just a little hard to comprehend, I managed with my own knowledge to gather up as much information from this well articulated book as I could. There are many lines in the book that could relate to anyone's situation throughout life to help. I absolutely adore one quote that says, "She was moved by a kind of commiseration... a pity for that colorless existence which never uplifted its possessor beyond the region of blind contentment, in which no moment of anguish ever visited her soul, in which she would never have the taste of life's delirium."
That quote in particular is so powerful from the vocabulary to the meaning behind it. I believe Kate Chopin did an excellent job of writing such an intellectual novel, but I would not recommend it to just any young-adult. You have to have a certain interest for books like this one, as well as the comprehension to even comprehend and acknowledge what its talking about, but overall I liked the meaning and storyline of this book.
