NOTE: We will go over the story on Tuesday in class and follow up with a lecture on both Perkins- Gillman  and themes presented in "The Yellow Wallpaper:" This will tie into our oppression theme that will permeate our short story unit. We will see oppression in many forms reflected in subsequent works such as in Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" and " White Woman of Color" by Julie Alvarez.
