Biologist

He was born a normal, healthy boy and he grew as little boys do, with G.I. Joe dolls and plastic guns.

He seemed so normal through and through.

When he chose books over monkey bars they thought him a little bit queer.

He didn't pay sports like the others;

instead he read all of Shakespeare.

Then they told him men did not write poems, but they loved working with numbers.

So he buried his inclinations and struggled with physics blunders.

The boy became a biologist, successful and smart they all thought.

But in his heart he hated his life and the terrible lies he bought.

Jennie's Side of The Yellow Wallpaper

I feel so sorry for John's wife. Sometimes I just do not know what to think of their situation. On one hand, I understand that she is suffering from something dreadful and John is only trying to help her. On the other hand, I do not know how well John's prescription of isolation and rest is doing her. I only say this because I see a type of pain and agony written all over her face. She is a new mother and yet there is something totally detached about her.

When John first brought her to this old house, he had such high hopes. We all did. But as I keep an eye on her throughout the day, I've noticed that she has become more paranoid. She always acts as though she is hiding something whenever I go around her, but it is beyond me to discover what that is. John tells me to keep her from writing, should I ever catch her doing so. I have not caught her writing but I wonder if it could be that harmful to her.

Sometimes I think letting her express herself might give her some peace. It also might help take her mind off of the wallpaper. She also seems to have a strange obsession with the wallpaper in the bedroom upstairs. It is the most hideous color in the world and I can certainly understand why she hates it. I have seen the places where she has torn away the wallpaper and can make neither heads nor tails of her strange behavior. I also do not know why John just does not replace the wallpaper. If it would help her, it seems like a good idea to me.

I have done everything John asks of me. I would love to see his wife get better but I do not know what to do anymore. I even offered to sleep with her at night if it would make her feel better. She only dismissed my gesture with a strange look on her face. I am worried because I know that being here is not helping her but John is a doctor and he knows best. Besides, I have no other ideas of how to help the poor little thing.
