Read the following nonfiction narrative and answer the questions below. Drip, Drip 1986 It happened in math class. 7th grade mat

h was definitely NOT my favorite class. I had Mrs. Fifer, and she was the quintessential math teacher – hair in a bun, glasses on a chain that she wore low on her nose. I was terrified of her. I was wearing white pants that day. I loved those white pants; they had loops on the side like carpenter jeans, extra pockets and pleats. Yes, I knew you weren’t supposed to wear white pants after Labor Day, but I was a rebel. We were taking a test, and that meant we weren’t allowed to leave our desks. This was a hard and fast rule, and there was no way I was going to break it; however, as I was taking my test, I noticed my nose was running a lot. I was constantly sniffing. Then, a drop of blood fell on my test. “Oh no,” I thought to myself. “I’m having one of my nosebleeds.” My nosebleeds were legendary in my house. They were not your average nosebleed; mine were like someone turned the faucet on high and walked away. I put my left hand over my nose with the hopes that I could contain it until after math. Christa, who sat in the desk across from me, looked at me with a, “What is happening to you?” expression on her face. I just looked down and tried to continue my test, but my nose was having none of that. Apparently, covering my nose with my hand was like putting a stopper on a garden hose; there’s only so much pressure it can take before the water busts through. I think you get the idea. My white pants and test looked like a crime scene. Needless to say, Mrs. Fifer sent me to the office and wondered why I had waited so long. I looked at her, with her severe bun and low-hanging glasses, mumbled something and took off to the office. 7th grade math continued to be my least favorite class.

Which statement is a theme of "the yellow paper"?
babymother [125]

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent social critic and feminist writer in the United States of the period from the 1890s through the 1930s. In The Yellow Wallpaper, originally published in 1899, she presents the internal dialogue of a woman diagnosed with hysteria and for whom total rest has been prescribed. In the short fiction, the patient is slowly driven mad by her cure, cut off from any intellectual pursuits whatsoever.  

Though The Yellow Wallpaper is a work of fiction, it was based on Gilman's own experience after being diagnosed as an hysteric and prescribed a "rest cure" which prohibited her writing and labelled her feminism and social critique as symptoms of uterine illness. Gilman recovered from her "cure," and went on to write influential social theses, including Women and Economics (1898), and a feminist utopian novel, Herland (1915), which has become a classic of American women's literature.
