This semester, with some trepidation, I decided to take a class on Shakespeare's tragedies. I appreciate that Ms. Robertson establishes clear expectations for students: the course requirements are ,begin underline,rigorous,end underline, but fair. On the first day of class, she handed out a detailed syllabus listing all the required readings, in-class projects, homework assignments, and tests. The course is definitely challenging, but in a good way, and Ms. Robertson is always very supportive and encouraging.

Answer
It seems like Jelly Roll Morton was born to make music. The flamboyant composer, arranger, and pianist first tickled the ivories when he was 10 years old. From that day forward, music was the driving force of his life.
,begin bold,The Early Days,end bold,
Jelly Roll Morton was born Ferdinand Joseph La Menthe on October 20, 1890. His early childhood was spent in the homes of his parents and other family members in New Orleans. There is no record of his having formal music training as a child. His music reflected the musical influence of his surroundings: ragtime and Creole. By the time Morton was in his teens, he was playing his music on the streets, in the halls, and anywhere else he could find an audience. Morton began traveling beyond New Orleans. As he traveled across the United States, he incorporated various local sounds, such as the Latin influence, into his music.
,begin bold,Jelly Roll and Jazz,end bold,
Although Morton often stated that he invented jazz—indeed he carried business cards bearing this claim—there is little evidence to support this. He moved to Chicago in 1922, where other musicians were playing early forms of jazz music. There Morton worked as both a solo performer and as a band leader, adding his own unique twist to classical jazz. Morton's "hot jazz" was a unique blend of musical influences that earned him great popularity.
Recording helped Morton's fame grow and highlighted the similarities and differences between classical jazz and hot jazz. At the time, records held a maximum of three minutes of recorded music. Working within this time constraint, Morton managed to write group pieces with solo spots, as was typical of jazz. However, unlike classical jazz, which tended to be improvisational, Morton's performances were well rehearsed, so they would fit the limited time span of the recordings. His recordings from the 1920s earned him national fame and served to establish him as one of jazz's pioneers.
,begin bold,Hard Times,end bold,
In the 1930s, the Great Depression took hold of the United States. In such somber times, many Americans preferred the smooth, soothing sounds of big band music over the lively, hip-swinging sounds of jazz. Morton's star was no longer on the rise, and his goal became basic survival. He returned to his roots as he traveled around the United States, earning money by playing the piano and working at odd jobs.
Morton never recovered from those hard times. In 1948, a Library of Congress project on the development of jazz music renewed interest in Jelly Roll Morton's music. Unfortunately, the revival came too late for Morton to benefit from it. He had died seven years earlier.

I could not go back, and consort with those people now, whom I used to meet in my father's studio. Lords come up to my door with stars and garters instead of poor artists. . . . I have a gentleman for my husband, and an Earl's daughter for my sister in the very house where I was little better than a servant a few years ago. But am I much better to do now in the world than I was when I was the poor painter's daughter, and wheedled the grocer round the corner for sugar and tea?

The point in the passage where Becky's tone changes from contemptuous to regretful is option 4: "when she asks if she is 'much better to do now in the world.'" This is where Becky expresses doubt about whether her current position in society and her material wealth have truly brought her happiness or fulfillment. Her contemplation about her past and comparing it to her present indicates a shift in tone from arrogant superiority to regretful reflection.
