To get us started on our blogging assignment for the semester, we have six volunteers who will post by 6:00pm on Tuesday–everyone else will comment by 10:00am on Wednesday. They will consider one of the following three questions–but if you want to suggest another, please do so quickly!
How does setting work in âYoung Goodman Brownâ?
Does Mrs. Mallard have freedom at the end of âThe Story of an Hourâ?
How do the men and women read details differently in âA Jury of Her Peersâ?

Triumph: noun: the joy or exultation of victory or success, a notable success
From “The Story of An Hour”: “She arose at length and opened the door to her sister’s importunities. There was a feverish triumph in her eyes, and she carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of Victory.” (Paragraph 18)
This means there was an intense joy of victory in her eyes.
