you will with it... it hasn't been graded or i'd
give you the grade. good luck Kate Chopin wrote
her fictional short story "The Storm" in the late
nineteenth century. During this time, women were
looked down upon as being merely housewives; their

that he comes out ahead. Much like Nietzsche's
slave revolt, where there is an inversion of
power, and the weakling comes ou...
