First impression

The title of the story I'm going to analyze is "The Yellow Wall-Paper".
This story was penned by Charlotte Perkins Gilman - famous American author, poet and feminist, who encouraged women to gain economic independance.

The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.


After reading the novel for the first time, I dare to say, that I was not so impressed as others. Maybe such stories are not my cup of tea, maybe I don't like weak women. Nevertheless, I will read it once again and try to find something I like.

What I can add is the fact that Charlotte Perkins is a real master of writing descriptions. They are so exact, that it was really easy to create a scene from the story in my mind. 
+1 to Charlotte for her descriptions!

Hello there

So, let's get started.

This is the first time I start working with the blog. I hope my posts will be interesting and you'll also find something for you.
I've never practised such an activity, so don't be too hard on me.

Frankly speaking, the creation of the blog was easy as I've already had the Google+ account.
I suppose that this blog will give us a great opportunity to enlarge the communication with our groupmates as well as with your teachers. 

So, don't be shy, share your thoughts concerning my posts.
