English

A preposition is a word (usually a short word) that shows the relationship between two other two nearby words.

For example (prepositions in bold): <span><span>
-    a boy from the ghetto
</span>-      (Here, the preposition from tells us the relationship between ghetto and boy.)
<span>-    a bone for the dog
-    </span>(Here, the preposition for tells us the relationship between dog and bone.)

</span>The following are all examples of prepositions: in, on, at, around, above, near, underneath, alongside, of, and for.

Note: The word preposition means positioned before. A preposition will sit before a word (a noun or a pronoun) to show that word's relationship to another nearby word.

What does this excerpt from the end of the "the yellow wallpaper" tell the reader
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

I believe that the best answer to the question here: What does this excerpt from the end of "The Yellow Wallpaper" tell the reader, would be, C: The narrator believes the window bars will not allow her to escape.

Explanation:

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Stetson about a woman who has to spend her entire summer vacation cooped up in a mansion, and particularly an old nursery room papered with yellow wallpaper, with her husband John, his sister and their child. Although at first the woman, who is the narrator, tells us that she despises the wallpaper, as time goes by, and since she is forced to remain where she is, she starts to develop a sort of interest in it as she starts to see that there is much more to the paper than she first thought. Images, and then figures, start to appear, until she is sure she sees a woman´s shape behind the jail-like pattern. At the same time, she starts to see that the woman from the paper also appears on the garden outside, creeping. The appearance of disappearance both in the pattern, or the garden, will depend entirely on the light (sunlight or moonlight), and depending on the reflections on the windows, that woman will turn into many. At the end of the story the narrator and the woman from the pattern become one but they realize they cannot escape, as the windows are barred and cannot be opened. So, it almost seems like she tells herself that even if she had wanted to, she won´t because she cannot open them, it would be misunderstood by others and besides, she could see multiple women out there, creeping, like she did. It almost becomes like the wanderings of a child who knows she cannot get away with what she wanted to do originally, but still gives herself justification for not trying it. That is why the best choice is C.
