The part of the rhetorical triangle I am going to use for this story is pathos. The first way I am going to describe pathos is how the narrator talks about her husband John. The second way o am going to describe pathos is her feelings towards the wallpaper. The final way I am going to describe pathos is how she feels about Jennie. These are the ways I am going to describe pathos.
To begin with I am going to talk about how the narrator feels towards her husband John. It can be inferred by the way the author wrote the story that the narrator really does love her husband John. The reason why I can say this is one of the main reasons she was trying to get healthy again is because of him. It could also be said that she would get a little irrated by him from time to time. The reason why I say this is when they first moved into the house she would consonantly ask him to change the wallpaper, now the thing about this that lead me to believe that she got irrated by him is her reaction after he reused to remove the paper after she asked him to do so many times. This is how I think the narrator felt about her husband John.
To continue with I will talk about the narrator’s feelings towards the wallpaper. The narrator could not stand the sight of the wallpaper at the beginning of the story. The reason why I say this is whenever she would write she would how much she can’t stand it. Then towards the middle of the story she starts to become infracted with the wallpaper. The reason why I say this is she watched and studied the paper so much that she started to see things that nobody else had noticed about it. Finally towards the end of the story she felt like she had to free the woman that she thought was trapped in the wallpaper. The way she tried to free her was to tear the paper off of the walls. The woman she saw in the paper was a metaphor of herself in the ways she felt trapped in the house. This is how the narrator felt towards the wallpaper.
Finally I will talk about how the narrator felt about Jennie. In the beginning of she just thought of her as a “perfect and enthusiastic housekeeper”. Then toward the middle of the story she stared to think that she gave her all the freedom that she wanted since John would not let her do anything. Then towards the end of the story she thought that Jennie thought that something was weird about the wallpaper. This is how I think the narrator felt about Jennie.
To conclude the part of the rhetorical triangle I used for this story was pathos. To begin with I talked about how the narrator feels towards her husband John. I then talked about the narrator’s feelings towards the wallpaper. Finally I talked about how the narrator felt about Jennie. These are the ways I described pathos.

CC STILL SITTING ON YANKS' OFFER

Are the Yankees headed for another Randy Johnson situation when dealing with CC Sabathia?
Johnson orchestrated his way out of Arizona to The Bronx for one reason: Yankee dollars.
As Johnson discovered, money often doesn't buy happiness in New York.
Now it appears Sabathia, who is light years ahead of Johnson as a teammate and person, may only land in the new Yankee Stadium
because of the $140 million offered across six years.
Though Sabathia's wife, Amber, would like her husband to pitch for the Giants, and though the Angels have the money, neither
club has shown a strong interest in the 28-year-old lefty, who
went 17-11 with a 2.70 for the Indians and Brewers last year.
Sabathia - who reportedly was offered a fiveyear, $100 million deal to remain in Milwaukee and offered arbitration Monday by the Brewers - is from the Bay Area.
According to several sources, the Giants have money to invest in Sabathia, but can't come close to the Yankees' deal.
A week ago it was reported the Angels were preparing an offer for Sabathia, but that seems to have cooled.
That leaves the Yankees as the only horse in the race. And since the offer has been out there for more than two weeks, it makes you wonder why Sabathia hasn't inhaled it.
As for A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe, free-agent hurlers in whom the Yankees have interest, the Braves were linked to Burnett and a five-year deal that some don't believe is real. The Yankees are wary of a fifth year for Burnett.
Lowe wants an East Cost team with a chance to win. That means the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets or Phillies.
One day after the Yankees didn't offer Andy Pettitte
arbitration, no new developments in the standoff surfaced.
The Yankees want the 36-year-old lefty back but not for the $16 million he made last year, when he went 14-14 with a 4.54 ERA
and was bothered by a left shoulder that was examined and found not to have structural damage. Their offer was for $10 million.
Because Pettitte said at the end of the year that his return wouldn't be about money and that he would pitch for the Yankees or retire, there are some heads within the Yankee organization shaking over Pettitte's strategy, which includes talking to the
Dodgers, who are interested.
Of course, when Ryan Dempster got four years for $52 million from the Cubs ($13 million a year), Pettitte had to believe he
was worth $3 million a year more than Dempster
