the wallpaper becomes more than just wallpaper. It
takes on human characteristics. This paper looks

refers to the house as haunted. This theme is
again brought to the forefront when she begins to
describe the wallpaper. There is a recurrent spot
where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two
bulbous eyes stare at you upside down (107).

Spanish American War 19 Th Century

little war. " Internationally, however, the war
had major historical significance. The
Spanish-American War signaled the emergence of the
US as a great power onto the world stage of
