1.  What is the author's central message in "Assembly Room Women"?
I believe that the author central message is that talking about what needs to be done in order to eventually get, for example, a hair brush, she tries to talk about the fact that women on the path of becoming a person who stands on the same level as a man, she has come a long way.

1.  What is the author's central message in "The Company Man"?

Though it seems to be about a man who worked himself to death, it's truly an example of how economic prosperity doesn't mean someone has achieved the American dream.

1.
I don't blame her a bit. It must be very humiliating to be caught creeping by daylight! I always lock the door when I creep by daylight. I can't do it at night, for I know John would suspect something at once.

2.  Gilman's purpose in demonstrating a figure like this into her story is to emphasize the emotions that she went through long ago, she uses this woman to demonstrate how restricted she felt under the control of a more "powerful" figure, a man. She felt as if she could never step out and try something new, for she thought that it would "be very humiliating to be caught creeping by daylight", she felt free in the nighttime only when everyone was asleep

1. This man "had no outside 'extracurricular interests,'" solely dedicating his life to his work and his employer. However, when he dies, Goodman does a great job exemplifying the forgiveless tone in the American Experience. The boss, the day of his funeral, begins "to make inquiries about his replacement." This goes to show the laborious strains and forgiveless environments some must go through in order to succeed in America.

2.  This helps establish the forgiveless tones because it evidences the sacrifices that people can make for a superior, only to be completely replaceable and having no true impact on others' lives.

3.  This helps exemplify the sacrifices that people have to make for economic supremacy, but it also shows that wealth doesn't equate to success in life.

1. As soon as it was moonlight and that poor thing began to crawl and shake the pattern, I got up and ran to help her
2.  The woman behind the pattern is a reflection of who she has become, she has become isolated from society and seems to find no way out of her situation, her own freedom has been compromised by John and she seems helpless at this point.

1.  How does the situational irony contribute to our understanding of the themes present?
Story Of An Hour represents a sad situation and it delivers the punchline with situational irony.
The wife dies because of the "joy that kills", this is because the doctors believe she was so happy she had a heart attack. But she was so sad and shocked he was alive that she fainted. It is ironic.
2.  How does the dramatic irony contribute to our understanding of the themes present?
Dramatic irony takes place when the husband actually turns out to be alive. Yet the wife faints and dies. It is ironic that the husband was the one who was supposed to be dead, but the wife truly dies in the end.

1.  What is the author trying to say about the obstacles that get in the way of success for certain groups of people?
Chopin highlights the fact that women have obstacles that are often too hard to leap over during their journey to success. Those obstacles seem to be their controlling husbands. We see it in the text when she feels as if she is finally free when her husband dies. Like a burden is gone, but when said burden comes back.....she dies.

Goodman's piece relates to Doro's "Assembly Room Women." In both pieces, people overwork themselves in order to find economic prosperity. While prosperity means different things in both scenarios, the end goal is the same, and in both cases, the workers have trouble achieving the American Dream.

1.  Write significant passages related to the setting which help shed light on the author's central message.
The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.

2.  Analyze how the setting helps deliver the author's message.
The setting helps deliver the message, because it helps add emphasis to the message. When she looks out the window, she sees a street where it recently rained and birds tweeting. It almost reminds one of a somber beginning. The recent rain implies how the bad times

- In "The Story of an Hour", Mrs. Mallard learns of her husbands death and after a brief moment of grief, she suddenly becomes hopeful that she will finally be able to live her best life without anyone to hold her back. This is very similar to the situation with Jane in "The Yellow Wallpaper" when she sees the woman behind the pattern who would "shake the pattern", both of them show us that they're frustrated with not being able to enjoy the freedoms because of their perceived gender roles as women.

I believe that "The Story of an Hour" and "Assembly Room Women" relate to each other because in "The Story of an Hour", Chopin highlights the fact that women have a lot of obstacles on the path of becoming a person who will stand on the same level as a men. And often it's too hard to achieve success. And It's very similar to "Assembly Room Woman" because in this poem she was explaining the fact that in order to eventually become "someone". Women has come a long way.

Give a specific example for how the two relate in relation to the essential question.
The Yellow Wallpaper and Chopin's main characters are both wives who seem to have little to no control over their own destinies. Jane's husband, John is a man who controls every aspect of her life. When she sleeps, what she eats, what she can do.... And she desires more freedom. But instead, she spirals into madness. In Story Of An Hour, Mrs.Mallard, like Jane, still loves her husband, but wishes they had more control. When Mr. Mallard "dies" she is at first sad. But then she is happy at the new prospect she has.
