"The Story of an Hour" text The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death. It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. “Sweetness” Oh, yeah, I feel bad sometimes about how I treated Lula Ann when she was little. But you have to understand: I had to protect her. She didn’t know the world. With that skin, there was no point in being tough or sassy, even when you were right.

Though Paradise (1997) opens with the chilling line, "They shoot the white girl first, but the rest they can take their time," the reader is never told which of the characters is white.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on politics, human rights and storytelling You were invited to discuss the art of writing at the Berlin International Literature Festival. You personally started reading and writing at a very early age: What were the stories you wanted to tell? When I started writing, I was maybe 5, and I was writing the stories that I was reading — mostly children's books from England. I lived in a small town in Nigeria, in a university community. I had never seen snow, I did not know what an apple was, but I was writing stories in which children were playing in the snow and eating apples, because that's what happened in the books I read. So it actually took a while before I started writing about my own experiences and my own world.

Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina A fines de 2007, el Congreso Nacional aprobó la Ley 26.331 de Presupuestos Mínimos de Protección Ambiental de los Bosques Nativos. Sin embargo, el Poder Ejecutivo recién la reglamentó en febrero de 2009, tras el reclamo que hicieron más de 70 organizaciones sociales, entre ellas la Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina.

Así zonifica los bosques de la siguiente manera: Categoría I (rojo): sectores de muy alto valor de conservación que no deben desmontarse ni utilizarse para la extracción de madera y que deben mantenerse como bosque para siempre.
