We watched a short video on the yellow wallpaper today. We noted that there were several things that were very different from the video and the actual book.
Some things that students came up with were:
- The names were different Elizabeth in the video Jane in the story
-John does not faint in the movie
- No baby in the movie
-The woman's illness seemed very serious, as compared to the story
-Elizabeth unlocks the door at the end in the movie-different from the story in which she tells John to find the key under a leaf.
HOMEWORK:
-Yellow wallpaper word search
-Questions #s 1-7 due next class on TUESDAY.

Rest Cure

The powerpoint was about the rest cure that was widely used
by Doctors in the 18th century.
Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell developed the rest cure.
He essentially imprisoned women for up to two months, and gave them little contact with the outside world.
In the first few weeks, women were not allowed to engage their minds by reading or performing small activities.
Most were even not allowed to roll over in their beds, suggesting that they may have been restrained.
The attempt to do brain work sooner or later brings on symptoms of exhaustion he thought.
HOMEWORK:
Finish the Yellow wallpaper questions due Sept.27.

The Mark Twain House and Museum (Hartford, CONNECTICUT)
Throughout his career, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) published more than 30 books, hundreds of short stories and essays and gave lecture tours around the world. By the end of his life in 1910, Clemens had become known as the quintessential American author having captured in his works the spirit, character and even dialect of a diverse nation. His writing also served to voice his running commentary on American society. Thinly veiled behind the mask of humor and satire, Clemens' writing often critiqued social morals, politics and human nature, making his literature a unique reflection of the American experience in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
