Dear Mrs. Gillman
In your piece entitled, “Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper,” I see that you begin to explain your reasoning behind your thoughts presented in the short story. A Boston physician stated that, “It was enough to drive anyone mad to read it.” I agree with his statement because I think that there are many details and components throughout the short story that are unnecessary. There is also a good amount of repetition; you state how much your husband cares about you too frequently and you clearly make your point about not liking the wallpaper and the patterns that inhabits it. However, I do think that you successfully can prevent some one from becoming insane the way that you did. I can see how your story could possibly guide one away from insanity through your actions. Your story shows that it is important for people living with your condition to see that it is important to have interaction and changes of scenery to prevent one from going mad.
Sincerely,
Grayson Mann
