HELP Provide a formal, objective summary of "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and analyze the story's deeper meaning. Focus on how setting, characterization, and other elements affect at least one major theme.
How you go about this project is up to you, but consider one of the following options:
Option 1: Write a preface (an introduction) and an epilogue (commentary that comes after a story) for the "The Yellow Wallpaper." Imagine that your preface and epilogue appear in an anthology of literature that includes Gilman's story. Use the preface to prepare student readers to read and understand the story, focusing on the relationship between setting, characterization, and theme. Use the epilogue to objectively summarize and further help student readers analyze the major themes.
