Joan Didion’s “in keeping a notebook”, has shown that she writes to suppress bad memories by her expressing the difference between her childhood and he daughters. Although there is not a direct reason as to why Didion writes s, one could imply that because Didion did not have a “perfect” childhood, she writes in order to not remember the bad memories. Didion states that her daughter would never write like her because she is “singularly blessed and accepting child, delighted with life exactly as life presents itself to her” (55). This quote presents the idea that Didion has a much different childhood than her daughter. Although she does not talk about how her childhood was, she explains how her daughters’ good life does not compel her to write things down like she has since she was 5 years old.

Today’s society Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. After suffering from depression throughout most of her life, she went to seek advice, and was told to stop doing anything, that she normally did, because it would make her conditions worse. She therefore wrote The Yellow Wallpaper to express herself, and express the suffering she went through. Even though the society of the time period she was from criticized it, she argued that she wasn’t intending to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy by reading The Yellow Wallpaper. Gilman was so far ahead from her time period, so she was criticized for writing about the topic of depression and mental illness, which for that time period was very frowned upon and unspoken.

So I often found myself using my idea of it as a crutch. For example, most people are kind enough to always try to be sympathetic. So with that in mind, while seeming sympathetic, how would someone tell a student who appeared to have poured their heart out on an essay about the death of their beloved grandmother that they failed because their grammar is atrocious and their syntax is too elementary to properly channel sympathy through their writing. That was personal writing to me. But after writing numerous papers on my grandmother’s death and being dishonest in my writing, I can now honestly say that her passing has become less relevant every time I write a semi fictional story for a passing grade.
