to free herself of earthly bonds was made with great resolve. Edna had made her decision. She swam out and made the ultimate sacrifice…… herself. Edna knew she was born in the right place at the wrong time and there was nothing this life had to offer her. There was no room for free thinking women. She had two choices these being either to live her whole life in misery and hide her spirit and soul, or to sacrifice herself, that is her outer being and keep her dignity and essence. Edna chose the latter as she gracefully left this world. All of Edna’s actions were not unintentional. She knew what she wanted like most, but Edna was the only woman to have the courage and the determination to go on the road less traveled. This story showed Edna’s awakening, and her realization
