"The Yellow Wallpaper"

Today (9/22) we listened to "The Yellow Wallpaper."  You will be writing an analytical essay next week over this story, so please take the time to listen to the story.  I will also be grading your annotation of the story.

You can listen (and follow along) to the story at this link:

A few notes to add to the front of your story:

The story is a psychological horror, which means it is something she has going on in her head.  She's going crazy (hint, hint).

The story is written in the format of stream of consciousness, or writing as she thinks.  This is an interior dialogue.

The author lived from 1860-1935, and had post partum depression (which is what this story is about), but she did not go crazy, she left her husband and baby (which was not done in that era).
