The yellow wallpaper – Charlotte Perkins Gilman In “The Yellow Wallpaper‚” Gilman critiques the position of women within the institution of marriage. She uses a number of literary devices to express the political theme of feminism and the oppression of women.

This discussion is very old‚ Greek and Roman philosophers already discussed whether or not there is a higher force‚ and if there is‚ does this higher force have any influence upon our lives?

Gilman makes it clear that John’s patronizing and paternalistic conduct toward his wife has little to do with her illness. He dismisses her clever opinions and her “flights of fancy” with equivalent scorn‚ while he demeans her innovative compulsions

Even if you are making a good living for yourself‚ you should always take time out of your day to give back; you never know when you might need someone to help you out. Volunteering my time to my community has always been something I’ve made time for. Not only does volunteering help others‚ but it can affect your own character
