The story was about an couple renting a house over the summer.the wife feels uncomfortable with the house that they chosen but she got over it. The husband believes his wife is in some type of depression. So he finds a room for them so she can rest in it. She basically obeys everything that he tells her. And he also wins all the disagreements between the two. The wife wants to be a writer but her husband and some family members don't think that us a good idea. So she gets obsesses with the yellow wallpaper in the room because she basically doesn't have control of her own life. She begun tracing the wallpaper around the room and believes there is a women trap in it. So she starts peeling the wallpaper of the wall.

It was about an women and a men who are at a train station at the bar drinking. The women then says the hills look like white elephants starting a little disagreement between the two. The disagreement starts to get tense and the men tells the woman that she should get an aboration, but only if she wants to.

My opinion on "The Fish", is it was a good poem. It was a bout a fisher man who caught like a 50 pound fish. The fish was all beat up. It had old hooks in it from the past where it look like it gotten away from other fisher mans. So after he caught it, the fisher man kind of felt bad, so the fisher man threw the  fish back in the water. Me personally, I wouldn't of done that, because i would of felt special because i was the only person to catch it and i would of been eating good for that night.

My opinion about, "The Glass Menagerie", is the play overall was okay. The main characters were Tom, Laura, and Amanda Wingfield. there was also another character Jim O'Conner. Tom is an poet, who works at a shoe warehouse to suppoet his family. Because he doesn't like his job, he resolves it by drinking and going to movies. Laura, who is very shy and walks with a limp, because of her bad leg. She is very distance from the outside world, so she spends all her time with her records and her glass items. Amanda is the mother of Tom and Laura. She is a very animated person. She cant get rid of the memories of her past. Jim works at the shoe warehouse with Tom and was the popular athlete in high school. The story to me was Amanda basically tried to run Tom and Laura life. Always arguing with Tom about every little thing.
