1. GoodBooks textbook company is in need of an image to accompany the Kate Chopin piece [|"The Story of an Hour]" for their latest edition. The editorial staff has narrowed down the choices to a small pool of possibilities, but can't reach consensus. They need a recommendation from someone who's skilled at literary and visual analysis and they've asked for your help.

2. Review the image finalists on Page 2 of this wiki. Consider each of the images in detail (click on them to enlarge).

3. Decide on the image that you believe best represents Chopin's story. In a carefully worded letter or memo to the GoodBooks editor,
 * summarize the task you took on
 * state which image is the best fit
 * support your choice with specific references to Chopin's story (e.g., characters, plot, tone, theme, etc.) and the elements of the image
 * explain why some or all of the other images are less effective
 * thank the editorial team for this opportunity

(After 3. is finished) 4. Having read your letter, the GoodBooks editor has invited you to present you case to the editorial board. You will have access to the images in your presentation, but you should prepare to speak with confidence and control about the details of your argument.
