We'll spend today's class working on a blog post related to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper." This is a low-stakes, exploratory assignment, but it relates to our next major assignment.
Instructions: Choose one of the following questions, draft a short response (two or more paragraphs) in Google Docs, and post it to your blog. Your response should make significant (but selective) use of quotation and paraphrase, following up on our in-class work with quotation and Edgar Allan Poe.
Questions:
1. Is this a ghost story?
2. Explain the relationship between the narrator and her husband, John. How does this relationship affect the narrator?
3. What do you find striking about the narrator's descriptions of the wallpaper? Isolate and discuss a key element of her descriptions.
If you finish early, spend some time reading and commenting what your classmates have posted on their blogs.
