The ants

1.Leiningen Versus the Ants

 (Ed. Sara Constantakis)

The ants number in the millions or even billions. They form a highly disciplined army that collectively is able to determine the most efficient way

of reaching its goal. They are capable of killing any creature, including humans, that stands in their path. They first attack the eyes, making the victim blind. The District Commissioner tells Leiningen that the ants will “eat a full-grown buffalo to the bones.” The ants are also presented as if they possess qualities that make them more than insects. It is almost as if they possess human attributes. Leiningen and his men “began to stir with the unpleasant suspicion that inside every single one of those insects dwelt a thought. And that thought was: Ditch or no ditch, we'll get to your flesh!” The ants gaze thoughtfully at the gasoline; not satisfied with occupying the plantation, they exhibit greed and are eager to get at the men and the horses.

2.The Insect Play

(Ed. Elizabeth Thomason)

Chief Engineer

The chief engineer is an ant who appears primarily in Act III. He runs the Ant Realm for the mysterious “she,” receiving information from the inventor and the messenger and acting on it. It is the chief engineer who answers the tramp’s questions about the operation and tries to put him to work. The chief engineer directs the operation against the yellowants, the Ant Realm’s last enemy. He is power hungry, adapting his words to fit the situation and to his benefit. The chief engineer appoints himself dictator and emperor when war breaks out between his ants and the yellow ants. While he tries to win without mercy to his enemy or his men, he fails. The chief engineer only thinks in terms of work, control, and victory: nothing else matters.

The ants like army,each of ant has their own work,they never confused about the work. For example, the chief engineer of ant just control the work of other ants, they don't need to do that just distribute the work.In addition, the ants always  working together,they can move any food if they want,even elephant's bone. So they have a strong body although they looks really tiny. The number of the ants determined that they can destroy any thing. Fortunately, most ants lived underground,so that in generally they can't effect the human's live.

The Novel

‘There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down. I get positively angry with the impertinence of it and the everlastingness. Up and down and sideways they crawl, and those absurd, unblinking eyes are everywhere. There is one place where two breaths didn't match, and the eyes go all up and down the line, one a little higher than the other.” (649-650)

In this passage from “The yellow wall-paper” by Charlotte Perkins Stetson, the author began to start showing what happened in the yellow wall-paper. At this moment, the woman started to find some different in this yellow wall-paper. She became nervous and afraid. This moment is an important turning point in the story: the point at what she fancied. She found a big secret in this yellow wall-paper, it guided her to find the truth, but it just makes her neurotic, and puts a huge pressure on her brain and body. Her illness became more serious than before. In addition, the topic called “The yellow wall-paper”, it means that it must get some different or mysterious things in this yellow wall-paper. Because of this is a horrible story, the author described the horrible things by the woman. It’s not only the important point, it’s also the horrible story begins.

In this passage: ‘There is a recurrent spot where the. Pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down.’ The woman fancies the spot which on the yellow wall-paper like a person’s eyes. It’s the base on the next passage that the woman fancies a woman who lived in the yellow wall-paper. And the author used some horrible and mysterious words like ‘broken neck’ and ‘stare at you ’, these details were show that the yellow wall-paper was really bad and the pattern was disturbingly, all the things what on the yellow wall-paper makes the woman gets angry and nervous. This woman needs peaceful place to treat but her strong imaginative power lets her become crazy. Later in this passage: ‘Up and down and sideways they crawl, and those absurd, unblinking eyes are everywhere’. It means the yellow wall-paper put a serious mental stress on the woman just like what her said ‘. I get positively angry with the impertinence of it and the everlastingness’. She can’t avoid to stop fancy some horrible things. She becomes neurotic. And this paragraph has a lot of tiny details like ‘the eyes go all up and down the line, one a little higher than the other.’ It’s very lively and easy to let the readers know what the picture shows in theirs mind and let them know what the woman think. And it makes the story more authentic.  

The key word in this passage is ‘start at’. It’s very lively action. If something that not a person but like a people’s eyes and look at you day and night, it will really horrible and nervous. It means you can’t do anything because you are being watched.  

In my opinion, there are some arguments in this passage: Why just the woman thinks the spot what on the yellow wall-paper like a person’s eyes and the line like a broken neck? Did she have some horrible experience? All these questions attract me to read more. And I also interested in what the woman fancied. 

The yello wall-paper

Is this a ghost story?

No, the story is all depending on this women’s mind, in fact there is no ghost.  Because of the women was sick, she saw the yellow wall-paper and connected a lot horrible things in her mind like the other women who live in the wall-paper, shadow, and the eyes. As time goes on, the women began to live in her imaginative world. She can’t believe her husband or other relatives. She was too scared to live with the yellow wall-paper so that she was in a bad way.   So it is not a ghost story, I think it is a imaginative and horrible story.
