John From Harlem

John attempts to control even her inner life, her writing. She says that "he hates to have me write a word" (482). He says the writing is not good for people who are sick. He tells her that it will slow down her healing. Writing is the only thing that’s keeping her sane, but she is unable to do it freely. She has to hide her words so John does not find them. This shows that John has mental control as well as physical control.

Analysis: The above quotations clearly display the similarity between John and the Narrator’s relationship to that of a father and a daughter. John controls the majority of the Narrator’s behavior to the point she feels an overwhelming sense of guilt for her incapacity as John’s wife. The Narrator is restricted in her actions and is therefore unable to fulfil her wifely duties, forcing her to consider herself as a burden. When is reality, John treats the Narrator as his daughter and does not permit her to complete her duty. For instance, the Narrator dislikes the yellow wallpaper and wishes to have it removed; however, John does not allow her to do so and acts as if it would feed into a child’s stubbornness. His continued belief in his superiority disregards the Narrator as is wife and instead infantilizes her. He believes her identity exists only through him, which merely encourages his paternalistic

In 1957, John was born in Athens, Georgia (Robison, 1). When he was born, both of his parents were in college and his dad was also a preacher (Robison, 1). They moved to different areas until they finally settled down in Amherst, Massachusetts and his father became a professor in Philosophy (1). Throughout John’s childhood, he was always different from his classmates and brother (2). He said he was always sad, a loner and had few friends (Robison, 2). His parents recognized this and tried to help him by having him see therapists and guidance counselors (Robison, 2). At this point in time, Asperger’s Syndrome was not diagnosed yet (Robison, 3). Some therapists thought he was a psychopath because he did not make eye contact with them (Johnelderrobison, 00:00:45-00:01:00). Others said he was lazy or chose to misbehave, when he did not have control over his actions (Robison, 3). Due to all of this negativity and people telling him something was “severely wrong” with him, John dropped out of school in tenth grade (Robison, 3).

Having knowledge and understanding of psychological perspectives allows me to understand John’s needs, and current behaviours and how they may be related to past events and needs unmet.

Later on this year John had an experienced in which a family friend harass him and will take John to a truck and have sexual interaction with him.

So the next three paragraphs you will understand what developmental statements, John was missing and how it impacted his life. One of the key developmental assets John was lacking was honesty. In chapter eleven Mr.Pignati has just had a heart attack and John has called the ambulance and the police have started to question him about his Mr.Pignati’s age “John replies fifty eight...” (zindal 112). This shows that John colin had no signs of honesty because he has no clue about his age so he was lying to a police officer which is a crime.
