What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
John Milton

Girls' Literature:"The Yellow Wallpaper"

Ladies,

Here is the link to the short story we're reading for next week.

"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Remember, your homework assignment for this week is as follows:

Make a list of ten adjectives you think are significant in the narrator's description of the wallpaper.  
For each adjective you list, answer the following questions: 
What connotations does the word have (positive or negative, pleasant or gross, beautiful or ugly)?  
What do we learn about the narrator from her choice of this word?

Enjoy!
