Color Yellow Autobiography

Perkins Gilman’s ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ and Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Fall of The House of Usher’ both serve a highly horrific purpose which is both good examples for the gothic. The strongest example of gothic is ‘The Fall of The House of Usher’ as it established the extreme horror intense and shows the gothic scene of the house.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the idea of “true womanhood” is challenged. The white woman portrayed in the story is prescribed what is known as the “rest cure” due to the overwhelming pressure of being the perfect woman, wife, and mother. Driven mad by the smothering of her husband and her inability to do anything for herself, the woman in this story goes crazy attempting to free herself from the constraints. In stark contrast to the woman in “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Sojourner Truth, a former slave, delivers a speech titled, “Ain’t I a Woman,” in 1851 that shakes people to their very core. A little before “The Yellow Wallpaper” was released, Truth shares a message that is astoundingly different from the

“Yellow Star”, a book written by Jennifer Roy, but experienced and told by her aunt, is all about her aunt’s tragic and harsh struggle as a Jewish girl living in the Lodz ghetto with her family. There were countless close calls, little food, and unsustainable conditions. As known by many, during World War II Jews were forced to have a yellow star sewn onto their clothing, but what many don’t know, is the significance and meaning of that star.

Over the years there is no question that African Americans were treated as stepchildren in American society. They struggled to integrate with whites, while at the same time trying to gain their independence from them. Set in the 1950s in New Orleans, the short story “Miss Yellow Eyes” Shirley Ann Grau illustrates the struggles African Americans faced during this era. In the 1950s the south faced segregation, the civil rights movement and a draft to enlist men to fight in the Korean War. This story is a first person narrative that describes the lives of two young African American men faced with segregation and injustices in America that promised liberty for all. Grau reveals by the use of foil how a young black man chooses to survive segregation and the social prejudices of this era.

The first example of suppression is the usage of the “rest cure” as a treatment for mental illness, which the author indirectly criticizes by showing the negative impact this treatment has on the narrator of the story. Instead of finding ways to work through her depression, she wasn’t allowed to do any kind of work or leave the house area, which caused her to get lost in her own mind. By not being allowed to work or write, she wasn’t able to deal with her problems. She spent most of the time alone in a room, with just her thoughts. Therefore, it is not surprising that she developed a fascination with the pattern of the yellow wallpaper. Although the rest cure treatment obviously did more harm than good it was widely used in the 19th century to treat nervous illnesses. According to the sciencemuseum.org.uk, patients usually were prescribed the rest cure for six to eight week and it meant that were on a bed

The main idea of my story, “An autobiography of an ex-colored man”, is about a young man who is mixed between African american and White. He doesn't know that he is mixed until his principle ask all the white children to stand in the middle of class and when he proceeded to stand the principal told him to sit because he was Black. After this dreadful day of discovering that he was part African American, the young boy started to view the world a lot different as he aged. The author uses pathos and ethos to really get the main idea across. The author uses pathos by expressing the feelings of the boy as he was discovering how the world treated African Americans.

Danny’s Identity Crisis “Yellow” written by Don Lee is about Danny Kim who was born in 1954 in Rosarita Bay. His parents were immigrants from Seoul and had just migrated to America a year earlier with the help of missionaries they met during the Korean War. His mother was having a hard time grasping their new life, and would sometimes take it out on Danny’s father because she felt she could have married better than what she did and his only reply was silence when she went on her rants.

The mother stopped scolding her toddler for chewing on the new walls when she noticed that the toddler had discovered layers of secret text typed beneath the wallpaper. It read, “Оној што живее во оваа куќа е оној кој ќе стигнат до крајот.” She grabbed her phone out of her pocket and opened Google Translate. As the baby continued crying her her arm, she typed the words into the search engine. After a long time of typing, she saw that the translation was, “He who lives in this house is the one who will reach the end.” The text was written in Macedonian. Maria had just moved into the house from her apartment. She needed more room for the baby. Her brother left yesterday after helping her move in. The house was in Italy, which was certainly not too far from Macedonia, yet it was still far. It was almost a one day trip to Macedonia. She wondered why someone who speaks Macedonian was in this house. The house was almost 100 years old, so it could have been anyone who wrote the text.
