These questions refers to the story "The Yellow Wallpaper."
In this story, we meet a woman who was diagnosed with an illness, and is prescribed absolute rest, including intellectual one. The story is told from the point of view of the woman herself, which allows us to witness the deterioration of her mental state first-hand.
At the beginning of the story, we see that the woman is quite a reliable narrator. However, as she begins to lose her mind, she becomes increasingly unreliable, making it impossible for the reader to know to what extent she should be trusted. Moreover, the woman is unable to escape from this situation due to the fact that her husband is a doctor, and he does not accept her opinions.
Finally, in terms of the room, we see that the narrator is in a room that has an ugly, yellow wallpaper. Besides this, she receives no mental stimulation, which leads her to become obsessed with the wallpaper as well as with the ideas of freedom and captivity.
I’m pretty sure it’s number 3. I’m sorry if it’s wrong.
Answer and Explanation:
You can use some of the following ideas:
- Plot: The story is set in the future. Vampires are now being hunted down by a special army created solely to kill them. Humans have developed weapons capable of easily murdering vampires. One soldier falls into a trap but one vampire finds and rescues him before the others can kill him. The vampire takes care of him, the two end up falling in love, and now they are both hunted by not only the army but also by the other vampires.
- Characters:
- Chris, the soldier. Brave and a bit reckless. His mother was killed by a vampire when he was a child, which is why he now hunts them. Alana's kindness toward him deeply confuses him.
- Alana, the vampire, Chris's love interest. Used to be a human but was turned when the vampires tried to increase their numbers to fight against the humans. Kind-hearted, clever, courageous.
- Todd, Eric, Lena, and Sylvia, Chris's friends who join the mission to rescue him. Have to make the difficult decision of either letting their friend go or killing him. Some are more determined to do what is right for the human species, others are more likely to follow their hearts.
- Vania, leader of the group of vampires to which Alana belongs. Strong and fierce, tries to kill Alana once she finds out she has rescued a human.
Answer:
This question requires a personal answer. I will give you an answer that you can use as an example to modify it and make your own.
Explanation:
This question corresponds to the poem "My mother saw a dancing bear" by <em>Charles Causley.</em>
We must begin by clarifying that the word bruin is used to name bears, especially in texts addressed to children.
That could be the first reason. The author may have wanted his poem to be addressed to an audience of children. If we read the poem with attention we can see that the poem has a happy tone and that there are even children in it.
Another option could be that the author wanted to avoid repeating the word "bear" so he used another meaning.
