Question 6 • English Language Arts 11
Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper." He seems very queer sometimes, and even Jennie has an inexplicable look. It strikes me occasionally, just as a scientific hypothesis,—that perhaps it is the paper! I have watched John when he did not know I was looking, and come into the room suddenly on the most innocent excuses, and I’ve caught him several times LOOKING AT THE PAPER! And Jennie too. I caught Jennie with her hand on it once. Why does the narrator believe that John and Jennie are looking at the wallpaper?
