Summary: This week we read the short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman‚ the Vanity Fair article Rethinking the American Dream by David Kamp and the short story Thank You M’am by Langston Hughes. These three pieces of writing all had the common theme of tackling with expectation versus reality and the way our perceptions of ourselves and others can fail us.

The Yellow Wallpaper. Gilbert’s chronical of her own descent into madness is set in a remote‚ isolated older home‚ with very beautiful surroundings‚ and more in particular and old nursery in which Gilbert is imprisoned for her own "sanity".

Let me get right to the point: The Big Short is as sharp as a serrated 100$ bill. Ever reminiscent of The Wolf Of Wall Street (with much less sexual exploitation)‚ The Big Short tackles serious themes with flare without ever forgetting to bring the viewer along for the ride.
