Ol' Grandma and her Cat

In the other story that we read, there was a family who wanted to go on a road trip. They have decided to go to Florida and the little old grandma wants to go to. Well it turns out that there is a "misfit" on the loose that has just gotten out of jail, and grandma doesn't like the thought of it very much. So as they are driving the grandma is telling stories to the two kids, and you get the hint that she is a bit racist. A little while later they pass a dirt road, that the grandma told the kids that it had a house with a secret passageway. The kids threw a fit until the dad decided to give in and drive back to it. As they are going down this dirtroad the grandma suddenly realizes that the house was not even in that state, it was somewhere totally different! She had brought her cat, and at this moment it got spooked and jumped on the dad's lap causing him to roll the car. As they all get out of the wreckage, they manage to flag down a car.....but guess what.....it was the misfit. He then kills everyone in the family and then him and grandma have a pretty long talk about Jesus. Apparently that did not help grandma much, because just as you think the misfit might let her go he puts three bullets in her chest.

Yellow Wallpaper Lady

In the Yellow Wallpaper story that we read, I think that the woman had postpartum depression. I think she had this and tried to hurt her baby and thats why she got locked away in her room. I think her husband didn't really care for her much and was having an affair. It would really suck to have been her at this time, there she is all crazy and what-not and her husband is out messing with someone else. I think anyone in her situation would have went crazy, so I don't blame her. As for the ending, I believe she hung herself with the rope and when her husband came in he passed out.
