Blog #3 "The Yellow Wallpaper" By: Charlotte Perkins Gilman (reflections)
In the textbook of "Literature", we were assigned by the instructor to read another short story called "The Yellow Wallpaper", by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. At first whenever I read the title of the short story, the title is described about a room filled with yellow in the walls, which that explains why is the title called "The Yellow Wallpaper." Actually, I find this story weird because the story explains not just the wallpaper, but it explains that the characters of the story went to a colonial mansion, and they believe that the house is amazing. However, the author thinks that the yellow painted room is utterly dull, because the color us "repellent." No one ever like to go to a room filled with yellow around the walls of the room. But the author said that the wallpaper was torn off into pieces. I wouldn't have tell the short story that I had read to my friends, but the story of the yellow wallpaper seemed very awkward and I don't really feel like reading this short story again.

For me, I wouldn't have to believe that my instructor gave us a quiz to read this short story, but once I revealed the whole story, it described that the wallpaper is yellow everywhere. My reflection of the story is true because the story makes me go crazy.
ReplyDeleteI find the yellow wallpaper to be very weird as well. But I have to say i really enjoy reading this story. I find it very interesting how the women that was trapped in the wallpaper was her self. She was so sick of her husband controlling her that she got obsessed with the wall paper. But I would recommend this story to a friend.
