Today we will finish our reading of "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
EQ: What does it mean to be crazy?
Aim: What does the protagonist see within the wallpaper that makes her change so drastically?
Do Now: Yesterday, most of you noticed the names that John called his wife. What are some of those names? Why does John call her these names? Do you think this is appropriate?

2) What is in the wallpaper?
3) Why do you think the author wrote this story? What was she trying to say?
