What does the wallpaper symbolize in “The Yellow Wallpaper”?

English

forsale [732]4 years ago

Gilman uses the description of the wallpaper to symbolize the havoc within the mind of a woman undergoing the rest cure. The narrator of the “The Yellow Wallpaper” perceives the wallpaper as a riddle that she must decipher. The narrator spends many days trying to interpret the “changing” patterns on the wallpaper. At first, the wallpaper is an “unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight” and “dull yet lurid orange in some places, a sickly sulphur tint in others.” With the passage of time, she sees the wallpaper start disintegrating and decaying, which symbolizes her own crumbling sanity. Her final mental breakdown is exhibited when, at the end of the story, she rips off the wallpaper, attempting to free the woman trapped inside: “The faint figure behind seemed to shake the pattern, just as if she wanted to get out.”

If you're talking about the one by Charlotte Perkins, the wallpaper symbolizes Family, Medicine, and tradition that the desperate woman feels trapped in, like a cage with metal bars.<span />

I'm laughing at this first question because it doesn't seem necessary to know for graduation in the future lol.... Okay so the answer is D. because the whole paragraph was saying what he was packing and that he was excited for his trip so it doesn't make sense to go off topic about how far away his house is from the camp or that he spent last summer somewhere else and that there will be horses there. For an ending, you want to make sure its an ending point and not an unnecessary sentence.

Identify which line is NOT a Key Detail that supports the main idea:
sasho [114]

Answer: At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.

Explanation:

''At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.'' is a detail that is not supporting the main idea because it is excessive. The main idea of the paragraph is describing the type of weather event between the sun and the wind including speed and type of the wind.

  • Because of that, we can feel that the described trip from New York City to Los Angeles is a sentence that does not belong in this passage and this one sentence is acting outstandingly in the passage.

Other sentences are well connected and that is why they are incorrect answers.

Below are works cited entries for a book in print by one author. Select the one that is completely correct.
True [87]

The correct answer is Entry A. Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print.

Explanation:

In writing, it is common to use ideas or words of other authors to support own ideas; however, ideas taken from other sources and authors cannot be used without acknowledging authorship. This is usually included by adding some information such as the author's last name and the number page during in-text citation and including a works cited page at the end of the document with  entries that provide further information about each of the sources used during the paper; however, the type of information included is not the same in all cases and mainly depends on the type of source.

In the case of printed book by one author the MLA manual which is the manual commonly used to write and publish academic document establishes it is necessary to include the name of the author (last name first), the name of the book, the city of publication, the publisher, the year of publication and the word print. Besides this, other specific guidelines in terms of punctuation should be followed this includes separating the last name from the first name of the author using a comma, then adding a period before writing the name of the book then using period again to introduce the city of publication, using colon to introduce the publisher, followed by a comma to introduce the year and finally a period to introduce the word "Print". Considering this, the entry that is completely correct is "Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print" as the information of the source has been included in the correct order and following the punctuation marks required.
