IMPORTANT: Corrections/Clarifications: "Story of an Hour"

ON your "SOH" questions, please make the following corrections on your questions:

• 5. What are some of the things Josephine Louise sees when she looks out of the window in her room?
• 7. What affect does this arrival have on Josephine Louise?

Clarifications:

• The first bullet on #10 asks: In what ways is this an ironic statement?
• #11 asks: What is ironic about the ending of this story?

Consider the statement by itself, in isolation for #10; think about it in terms of the whole story on #11. It's a tough one, but give it a try.
