Use “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “The story of an Hour”

Assignment: Use “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “The story of an Hour”. Select one key passage from each text and make an argument about the significance of the way(s) that a theme common to both texts is treated similarly or differently.Depending on which passages you choose, you can decide to take a number of different approaches. You may decide to discuss similarities/differences in dialogue, in description, in tone, in characterization, etc. However you decide to approach the assignment, your goal is the same: to identify a meaningful point of comparison between the two texts and to explain why it is significant.Criteria for EvaluationA clear thesis statement enunciating 1) the common feature you have identified in the two texts you are analyzing, and 2) what you believe the importance of the similarities or differences in how the two texts represent that feature to be.A strategic close reading of both passages, which provides key quotations from both as support for the thesis. (Tip: strategic, in this case, also means brief. You have only 2-3 pages to work with. Don’t try to account for everything in both scenes; isolate specific details and do more with less).Interpretive statements in the writer’s own words explaining how the evidence from the story supports their claims.The correct use of technical terms regarding the art of fiction.Minimal plot summary (i.e., the writer spends only a few words on telling us what is happening, and devotes most of her/his space to explaining why it matters).
