Answer: D.  Gilman wanted to illustrate to her readers how the rest cure could seriously damage a person.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman had gone through the ''rest cure'' which was a method prescribed to cure women of ''hysteria''. It consisted of them not doing any physical activity and just resting with no physical, creative or intellectually stimulating activities.

Ms. Gilman hated this treatment and based the short story, "<em>The Yellow Wallpaper"</em>, on this treatment. In using a first person perspective she wanted the readers to see just how much the rest cure could affect and damage a person because the readers would get to observe a first person glance at the deterioration of the mind.

Which excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life?
matrenka [14]

Answer: The excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life is the one by Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress."

Explanation: This excerpt from Marvell's famous poem is specifically referring to the ephemeral nature of life, since the speaker is saying that he is constantly hearing the chariot of time - which is fast since it has wings - hurrying near, and eternity is ahead of us waiting for all of us. This poem is, in fact, a call to seize the day (<em>carpe diem</em>) and enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer. The speaker is telling to his coy mistress that if time was unlimited they could wait before courting and loving each other, but it is not, so he is urging her to let him love her.
