Happy Endings

This particular set of stories were very interesting. I believe that each ending had a significance to it but i could not quite catch on to what they were. I did however enjoy each ending. I think that it was kind of funny how each character begin to come together as each ending came together.
Happy Endings had a lot of truth to it. It's a perfect way to explain or write about how some relationships just don't work. I think that this story was dynamic and also funny at some points. This particular story kind of reminds me of Romeo and Juliet and how they fall in love and were willing to die because the other was no longer living. I think that each "happy ending" was rather peculiar in some ways because in each one there was one person who was madly in love and the other was not. I would recommend this story to someone else to give them something to think about.

The Yellow Wall Paper















Wall paper, what can I say, it was an unusual story. At some points in the story, I thought it was quite funny. I believe that the main character pretty much lost her mind. In the beginning she attempts to write in a journal to relieve her mind. She was writing down her thoughts and how she felt about her house. Reading about this was weird at first but then it began to make sense. I believe that writing in her journal was a way for her to escape her unhappiness and it was stress therapy for her.

As I read on in the story, it became quiet scary. This woman began to see things within the yellow wallpaper that she had become obsessed with. She freaked out and saw images that may or may not have even been there upon the wall. In being obsessed with this paper, this woman begins to become better at hiding not only her journal but her true feelings from her husband.
