4. Student Example
After receiving news of her husband’s death, all Louise begins to think about is herself. Chopin consistently uses the word “her” after Louise finds that her husband is dead, “There would be no one to live for her during those coming years: she would live for herself” (429). Instead of Louise directing her attention to her husband’s death, she begins to think about herself. She now had no one to oppress her; she would make decisions on her own.

12. Quotes and Their Peeps
Primary-source quotations are just like us: They need their peeps with them to help them make sense. Just as we have our support system to help us make sense of our crazy lives, so it is with quotations. They need an intro to lead them, and they need analysis to follow them and bring everything together.
