if there are any punctuation problems it's because i have a bad keyboard right now

this is one of the greatest short stories my teacher has shown to our class. it reminded me of what being someone outside is really about. it's about this woman with post partum depression. she was placed into a room with nothing but this really awful looking wallpaper and she couldn't help but look at it constantly. she took notice that it had many patterns that were not what she saw in life. the author compared the wallpaper to society and how it wasn't a cure for insanity only health.

in the end the woman goes insane.

the truth behind it was about how this psychologist put women with depression in bed for upto six weeks with out writing or doing anything.

the story is mainy a journal of one of the patients but it was very fictional. the narrator wrote in secret and kept it secret.

after it was published the doctor quit doing this 'resting.'

Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no ones ever eaten before? Like chicken and telephone ice cream?...Green mouse ice cream was the worst.

I actually remember reading this in high school. I actually found the end quite funny as she begins to tear off the wall paper and her husband comes in and I think he faints and she looks atr him and just keeps going.

You guys read it in high school? My stupid Gifted education excels me a couple of years, so I know what you are talking about.

I liked the story because it seemed like she was the only sane one. Everyone remained stuck on a wrong opinion and hurt her much more than they helped her. At the end, it kinda freaked me out how she was crawling around. I know the symbolism of it, but wow. What a crazy lady.
