Within the room that Jane spends most of her time, one of the first things she describes in detail is the wallpaper. Jane believes the “wall and paint look as if a boys’ school had used it” and she continues, “I never saw a worse paper in my life” (Gilman, “The Yellow Wallpaper, 610). As the weeks pass, Jane spends more and more time in the room, where she is locked away from society and social interaction. Gilman writes that Jane sees that the wallpaper has, “a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down” (“The Yellow Wallpaper” 611). Jane begins to see patterns and images within the wallpaper because she is confined by her husband’s treatment. When John stripped her of the opportunity to write, Jane was forced to find a new way to engage her mind and express herself. Jane wants to keep this new found way of expressing herself out of the hands of her husband and his sister, Jennie. Gilman writes, “I have watched John when he did not know I was looking, and come into the room suddenly o the most innocent excuses and I’ve caught him several times looking at the wallpaper! And Jennie too. […] I am determined that nobody shall find it out but myself!” (“The Yellow Wallpaper” 615). Jane slowly comes to the realization that there is not only a pattern within the wallpaper, but also a woman trapped behind it. Rula comments on the woman within the wallpaper and how it affects…

The fingerprint is an impression on the surface of a person’s fingertip and is used for identifying individuals from the unique pattern of spirals and lines. Detectives, much like the ones in the chosen short story, use these prints to identify those that have taken part in a crime scene. It’s made clear through Dahl’s description of the Maloney house that Mary has committedly taken on the model of the perfect middle class wife. Ms. Maloney is a young mid-twentieth-century housewife, keeping a tidy home and catering to her husband. The text states that she’s found pouring drinks when Mr. Maloney finishes his day at work and caters to his every need;…
Finding a partially eaten apple laying on the ground where Snow White was last found, the investigators decided to look at it more closely, and took it from the scene as evidence. When they got back to the crime lab, they gave the apple in an evidence bag to the forensic scientist. Then they left and the scientist looked over the apple. She took it out of the bag while wearing gloves, and noticed some hairs and/or fibers on it when she looked at it under the microscope. She then looked at the list of suspects and the name of the victim that she was handed earlier by a CSI agent. The names of the suspects were Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, The Prince, The Queen, and The Huntsman. After reading the list of suspects, the…
The narrator’s close examination of the paper has her thinking that the more she stares and observes it, the more obvious the solution. She conceives there are two patterns, an outside and inside that can be argued as being a symbolic representation of sanity and insanity, which at this point of the story, she is brinking towards the insanity or outside norm. It could also be seen as metaphoric between her husband’s theory that she isn’t sick, just tired and her fully believing she is sick. Like some believe we will see light at the end of our lives to follow, the narrator is seeing the outside pattern getting clearer each day she examines it.…

Toward the end of the story, Jane writes about how she locks John and his sister, Jennie out of her…
Some ten years later the two girls meet again. The person speaking suddenly notices Mary on a bus with a man who is clearly her husband; he has "eyes for no-one else but Mary" The poet envies her a little, as she carries her library books home, as Mary has "her arms round the full shaped vase that is her body", a metaphor for pregnancy. The poet claims not to be jealous of Mary but there's definitely a trace of it there. The last verse of the poem informs us that Mary's life has changed radically and she wonders when they made the…
I don’t think I liked any of the chapters but of course the one that drew the most attention to me was number 4. Nobody choses to be born in a rich family and trust me nobody choses to be born a poor family. It’s all based on pure luck. It is such a shame that Tammy has such little support from her own family, society has created useless labels that we seem to must have, in order to live a decent life. Why is Tammy’s son so ashamed of their humble home? Why is he ashamed of how Tammy dresses? Because society has taught us that you MUST own a nice middle class home, you need to look gorgeous at all times, don’t you dare to not put make up on, wear your designer clothes, and live the so call American dream. If we lived in another dimension where…

They threw themselves against a big tree next to the path as rocks kept falling down and dust started to fill the air. The horrible moment seemed to last forever….. At last it stopped, and everything turned dead silence. After a few seconds a voice was heard shouting: ‘’Sara , are you okay? Where are you? It was Kevin ofcourse. He was lying under the tree, and seemed to be safe and sound despite the horrible incident. A few seconds went by without an answer from Sara. He started panicing and shouting, even louder and more anxious than before. Then silently, but still, a wage sound was heard. Kevin jumped up from the place he was lying on and started to look around. There, on the path, under a pile of rocks he saw a red thing but he couldn’t distinguish what it was. Coming closer, he saw that Sara was lying there and that the red was from her T-shirt which she wore that day. He quickly grabbed the biggest rock on top and started to push, at first it…
First, Flavia finds an incriminating clue at the scene of the death of Rupert Porson before the investigators. When Flavia trespasses the police tape to have gander at the scene, she takes notes and the Inspector and Sergeant catch her and orders her to leave the crime scene: “Then,” I said, reaching up and almost touching the thing. “ Perhaps we should tell the vicar we’ve lost his bicycle clip”(Bradley, 181). The Inspector and the Sergeant find no clues within a couple of days, while Flavia finds a clue in the few minutes she is at the scene. This proves that Flavia is keen by finding hidden clues, while the Inspector and Sergeant in their field of work are not able to find any clues that could further their investigation. Also, Flavia noticing that the clip belongs to the vicar, could mean that he is guilty or an accomplice in regards to the death of Rupert Porson. Furthermore, after Flavia founds out Nialla is pregnant by testing her tears, she also realizes that Nialla is not wet because of rain but urine. Flavia thinks about Nialla and her situation and remembers on the day of them meeting at St. Tancred’s churchyard, that the ground near Nialla is damp but the fall of rain is absent. Flavia concludes that: “She must have been desperate, I decided. Yes! That is it! There wasn’t a woman on earth who would choose such an unwelcoming spot unless she had no other choice. The reasons were numerous, but the one leapt immediately to mind was one I had recently come across in the pages of the Australian Women’s Weekly while cooling my heels in the outer chamber of a dentist’s surgery in Farringdon Street. “Ten Early Signs of a Blessed Event,” the article had been called, and the need for frequent urination had been near the top of the list”(Bradley, 51). Flavia shows observation skills because she connects what she reads with the urine of Nialla on the ground. Nialla…
The doctor told Sue that Johnsy had a one out of ten chance for living, but Sue remained hopeful. Johnsy was determined that she would die when the last leaf of the ivy vine fell. Sue kept on encouraging her, telling her that all she spoke of was nonsense, and that she should just pray for her health to regain. The wind blew hard, and the rain poured, but the last leaf still remained, dangling bravely on the thin, wet branch. Meanwhile, Mr. Behrman, an old painter, poses for Sue’s new sketch. He always talked about his newest masterpiece, but he never manages to finish them all the way.…
