Genre: Short story
Q4) What kind of writing stye and language does the writer use? Quote examples to support what you say.
The writing is using a Journal format as a writing style. In The story she is talking about how her husband is very controlling and he is a doctor. She is a woman that has a sickness and her husband treats her, and in he forbids her to write and work , he wants her to rest. This is the woman's secret diary. In the diary she talks about the house and how she does not like the wall paper in her bedrooms she calls it “revolting.” The woman also talks about how there is Ghost, and she finds it scary. The story is mostly about her life. how her husband controls her, the problems she has and her inspecting the yellow wall paper that she dislikes. The woman changes her story a lot, because one minute she is talking about her feelings and the other minute she is back talking about the wall paper, that shows it is a Journal. She is writing her story in third person limited, the writer writes the story in 3rd person but describes the feelings and thoughts of the woman. For example in the story the writer writes '
'' fact is I am getting a little afraid of John'', that is only her feelings and her toughs. In the story the woman writes a lot about her feelings, another example is ''John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no REASON to suffer, and that satisfies him.'' That is another taught.
Elements of the genre short story character, setting, conflict, plot and theme.
The elements that are used for character is the woman who is writing the Journal, the minor character is the husband. The setting is in the house. The plot is the woman's feelings and how she going through her sickness and the theme is that you should always clear your mind somehow (release your feelings). This woman she has sickness but she uses this journal to clear her mind. I think if she does not clear her mind she would have gone crazy.
