Finally Julia saw the paper knife is hidden under Lydia’s little “baby”, it’s a teddy bear stuffy, but in Lydia’s mind, that’s her little girl.

    The narrator provides evidence that classifies the figure she sees as a real being: “I see her in that long shaded lane, creeping up and down.” This quote reveals how close the narrator is to completely being insane. When the narrator tears down the wallpaper in an attempt to free the trapped figure she states, “I’ve got out at last,’… ‘in spite of you and Jane? And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!”. At this moment, the narrator has been completely consumed by her own reality. She names the figure Jane and states that she is Jane. The figure behind the wallpaper symbolizes the narrator. The figure is trapped behind the wallpaper as the narrator is trapped in her own reality and in the nursery by her husband.

When my mom looked at the note on the card from Ms. Anderson about why she had given it to me, she immediately laughed, then proceeded to toss it into the recycling, “No worries sweetie, you didn’t do anything wrong. Was it tasty at least?”…

    In the hallway, coming from right, two short and skinny Asian looking males (subjects# 20130128/1 and 20130128/2) appear in view. As they head in my direction, I can hear their excited chatter in Chinese. With little smiles on their tan faces, they greet me. Straight black hair frames their flat faces with a narrow nose and wide cheekbones. They do not find the professor at his desk, so I tell them that the professor is expected to be back shortly. With the excited look in the faces, the subjects introduce themselves to me as Chang and Lionel. Wearing boat shoes, worn and tattered jeans and t-shirts with intricate logos, the subjects mention recently returning to campus from the study abroad program in Florence, Italy.
