Answer to Question 1

• This severe storm was unexpected; otherwise, Bobint would not have gone on this errand to Friedheimers store with his son in the first place. Because its strength is so clear (both in sight and sound)somber clouds that were rolling with sinister intention from the west, accompanied by a sullen, threatening roarBobint decides to stay at the store in safety, until the storm passes. That Sylvie, a house servant, helped Calixta the day before becomes an important detail, because her absence means Calixta is home alone. When Alce happens to be walking by her house, he asks for her help and she willingly invites him inside.

Answer to Question 2

• The storys cultural milieu is the French Catholic bayou country of Louisiana. The fierce storm, the can of shrimp, and the characters French names signify that this story takes place in Louisiana. Calixtas concern that the levees may not withstand this fierce storm, as well as the French expressions (Dieu sait or Bonte), set the story near New Orleans. Alces wife, Clarisse, is visiting her family in Biloxi, Mississippi, and the storm is so powerful that she may have felt its effects even from that distance.
