still have a second look with interest. While
rereading the story I look for the details, which

time reading the story. But when I started to look
for hints of foreshadowing I found that Chopin is
doing more than tell us a story about a couple.

as any of the different varieties of human beings
distinguished by physical traits, blood types, and
so on. Nonetheless, I see this definition more fit

opinion, ethnicity is a part of ones race. Ones
race embodies much more than just the ethnicity,
which is just physical traits or blood types. It
represents ones identity, culture, origin, moral
values, and so on. One could belong to any
