This discussion focuses on your first reading – “The Story of an Hour” – by Kate Chopin. Please read the story carefully (probably more than once) before you respond to these questions. Write your response in paragraph form (in other words, not as a list of “answers”). You don’t have to address the questions in the order they appear; the way you organize your response depends on what you have to say about the story. Your discussion should address the following:
Do you think Brently Mallard physically abused his wife? Did he love her? Did she love him? Exactly why was she so relieved to be “free, free, free”? In your response, include at least one quote from the story that supports your ideas about it. In other words, if you write that Mallard did love his wife, support it with a quote from the text that shows this.
Your response should be at least 250 words. Remember to write in complete sentences, use correct punctuation, and paragraph appropriately (change paragraphs when you change topics or ideas).

Business Schools of Asia-Pacific
The pursuit of a higher education degree in business is now international. A survey shows that more and more Asians choose the master of business administration (MBA) degree route to corporate success. As a result, the number of applicants for MBA courses at Asia-Pacific schools continues to increase.
Across the region, thousands of Asians show an increasing willingness to temporarily shelve their careers and spend two years in pursuit of a theoretical business qualification. Courses in these schools are notoriously tough and include economics, banking, marketing, behavioral sciences, labor relations, decision making, strategic thinking, business law, and more. The data set in Table 3.11 shows some of the characteristics of the leading Asia-Pacific business schools.
