Working on thesis statement
‘The Awakening’ by Kate Chopin, the text that I’ve chosen for Position Paper. I really interested in that story though we did not discuss the novel thoroughly in Pn.Juridah’s class last semester. So, I need to do my own research and opinion regarding that particular text. You know what, I went to Kinokuniya just to get the text book and luckily I have found a book entitled’ The Awakening and Selected Stories of Kate Chopin’…and it’s only RM19.90!!!:) Within 2 days I have finished read the novel, I mean just the one entitle ‘The Awakening’ ( as I did not have so much time,quite busy this semester). So, I found that the title of the novel itself brought a very deep meaning. The Awakening…just like the awakening of Edna from 28 years, leading her life in closed eyes…It is during summer in Grand Isle that Edna realized what she really wants in her life….but she has acted in the other way of what society expected her to be…and her actions can be considers as rebellious acts that in turn helped her to discover what she really wants…So, I came out with a thesis statement: Edna’s rebellious act is a form of self discovery in ‘The Awakening’ by Kate Chopin. Luckily my thesis statement has been approved by Dr.Edwin.
