MONDAY:
This week, you are beginning your novels! Given that you have 2 weeks (spring break), I'd like you to write a minimum of 4 pages double spaced—but feel free to write far more than this! I've had students write 80 page novels during these two months of time to write, so if you put your mind to it, you can really create a great chunk!
Just remember that everything you write should either:
- Push the story plot forward or
- Develop the characters
Have fun!
TUESDAY:
Read "The Yellow Wallpaper" which can be found for free at:
The Yellow Wallpaper
Answer 2 of the following prompts in at least 1/2 page each:
- Which is more injurious to the narrator--the psychological demons or the societal demons she faces? Why?
- How does Gilman use changes in language (diction, tone) to affect the narrator's shift from seeming sanity to madness? Be sure to give examples from the story.
- How does the changing description of the wallpaper reflect the narrator's changing character? Be sure to give examples from the story.
