(1 point)

Answer 1

the one your looking for is in page 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Rifaat’s story is the protagonist Samia’s journey to realizing the true meaning of her place and authority in her marriage. Through various flashbacks the author attempts to bring a cohesive end to the protagonists realizations at the end of the story. The final passage of the story is the defining point of realization of her role in establishing the status quo of her marriage. The story reinforces the theme of materialism and societal influences on a person and their desires.

Social norms and values play a significant role in shaping Samia’s perception of life and love. The final passage is the moment when Samia realizes that the idea of marriage that she had been taught to believe in was just an empty negotiated contract. In that moment she understands that the secondary position that she had accepted and the riches she had received was a form of payment. A price she paid for compromising a husband’s love and marrying an older man. Samia’s journey of realization to that moment begins when the terms of her marriage to Abboud Bey is negotiated.

The author also shows how Samia’s mother and the patriarchal society have shaped her expectations and desires for materialistic pleasures. Her mother’s words in turn solidify her view that marriage should provide her with money, power and status

Heyo! ;D

So, it has been a little while since I have taken this assessment, so I will help as much as I can...

So, based on what I remember reading, I believe that the quote...

"On her wedding night, as he put a diamond bracelet round her wrist, he as reminded her that she was marrying someone with a brilliant career in front of him and that one of the most important things in life was the opinion of others, particularly one's equals and seniors."

...was the best quote from "Another Evening at the Club" that foreshadowed the fact that Abboud Bey is not as charming as he would have others believe he was.

Hope this helps! If so, please lmk! Tysm and good luck!
