Answer: This paper looks to me as if it knew what a vicious influence it had!
In <em>The Yellow Wallpaper</em>, a woman is locked up in a room with yellow wallpaper because she is sick, and her husband, who is a doctor, believes that rest and lack of stimulation can help her get better. However, she feels trapped, and the fact that she has no mental stimulation makes her begin to lose her mind. An example of this is the fact that she is prone to hallucinations. We can see this in the passage, as she states that the paper seemed to know what a bad influence it was.
We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.
For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.
For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.
For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.
For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.
Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.
I went to the clothing store with my mom last week
I would say C) "'Oh, my poor Mathilde! But mine was imitation. It was worth at the very most five hundred francs! …'" (Paragraph 14) is the best option.
