Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I would just like to introduce why I started this blog.

As my profile states, I am a college student taking an American Literature course. As a midterm project, we were instructed to start a blog about something we found interesting or cool that we either learned or read or maybe even just felt about when in this class. As soon as I saw we were going to be reading "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, I got excited because I had read this short story back in high school and I loved it. It was one of those short stories that just kept my attention and made me want to read it. It is also kind of a chiller and I love scary and chilling stories.

I hope you enjoy my blog and join discussions!

  1. My daughter loves Yellow Wallpaper! She always teaches it to her students at Clinton Prairie High School. Good start on your Blog. I am looking forward to reading your posts.

  2. Poor Jane goes out of her mind in that dreadful room. Who could blame her! It kind of reminds me of a scaled down "The Shining." It is a wonderful diversion from the more conventional stories found in the textbook.

  3. I know! I had read it in high school so when I saw it on the list I knew I was going to read it again. I like creepy and unconventional stories (I have a book called "Weird Indiana" and it is my favorite book).

  4. I was hoping to make some sort of comment on your posting, since I'm aquainted with you through Pioneer, but I haven't read this story. I look forward to reading you future posts.
