Week 2

We started with an article called "The Yellow Wallpaper"by Gilman. By reading "The Yellow Wallpaper," I found the stereotype of man and woman. The wife was getting treatment at home and was not allow to go out while husband is working outside. The man get to have sociability outside of the house. To relate this topic to the article "The Final Push for Woman Suffrage," women were fighting for their rights to vote. In the Document 3 from "The Final Push Woman Suffrage," Wooddrow Wilson metioned that the woman played an important role during the war. Women helped with preparation for the war. At the end, women finally got their rights to vote. Of course they went through many troubles to have people to support them.

We also talked about the American soldiers in Europe. In the article "In Another Country" by Hemingway, it mentioned that soldier were using machines to help them move (like walking) again. In the class, we discussed Hemingway's writing style. People said that it was always hard to tell who is talking in the story. And most of the time, Hemingway wrote story of what he heard/known and himself played a role in the story. And he wrote the story in his perspective, so we can't really know most of the things detailly from the story.
