Read the excerpt from chapter 32 of the awakening.

when mr. pontellier learned of his wife's intention to abandon her home and take up her residence elsewhere, he immediately wrote her a letter of unqualified disapproval and remonstrance. she had given reasons which he was unwilling to acknowledge as adequate. he hoped she had not acted upon her rash impulse; and he begged her to consider first, foremost, and above all else, what people would say.
what does mr. pontellier’s letter reveal about his personality?

a. he is jealous that his wife may be thinking of leaving him for a much younger man.
b. he hates to be away from his family for such a long period of time and aches to return home.
c. he is very concerned about maintaining an appearance of financial good standing within his community.
d. he feels his wife has a good grasp of the situation at home and relies on her to take care of everything.

C. He is very concerned about maintaining an appearance of financial good standing within his community.

Explanation:

Mr . Pontellier is interested in appearances. His wife, Edna, wants a different life from the one she is having with her husband. However, Mr. Pontellier is more concerned about other people's opinions than about his wife 's feelings. In fact, he is a business man and wants to keep to a good imagine of his financial status. This is evident when Edna is away from home because she is looking for new adventures. However,  Mr. Pontellier does not care about his wife's true reasons; he just wants people to think that she has not gone away because of financial problems.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
