Linda Pastan view of grades No one likes to be repeatedly judged, especially their own family. In the late nineteen seventies Linda Pastan wrote two similar, but quite different, poems about being graded. The first one is Pass/Fail (1975) and the other one is Marks (1978). In both the speaker shows that she is less than pleased with the ides of continually being judged, so much so that years later she is having nightmares about failing. The images in both of these literary works show a fear of being graded and judged.
It was very noticeable because while she was asleep she snored very loud; even asleep Georgia kept us smiling. Once she was fully off the gas her breathing kept getting worse. As a medical student I knew it wasn’t good, so I asked if the doctor and the nurses had noticed.

As the doctor had intubated Georgia, her body had relaxed making her bladder empty, meaning she had passed.
Journal : Macbeth Ah, what trouble times there have been as of late. My dearest Lady sleep walks and speaks of our murderous deeds. Hopefully not too much damage has been done, or my hands be stained with blood once again. Her heart and mind cannot bear the thought of what had been done in the past. I was the weak one at the start but now I remain strong.. at least I hope that be the case.
He also tends to go unnoticed, as it said at the beginning. “We’re common and boring, and you walk right on by us...” But it wasn’t all negative because people he met along the way did pity him, which helped him get from point a to point b. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Jane is put on a “rest cure” treatment by her husband after she gets depressed after giving birth. Because she is a woman, she is obviously just making herself nervous and needs to sleep and not strain herself and everything will fix itself. Her husband, John, even goes so far as to say that she should “not give way to fancy in the least” because it would be too tiring for her.
Charlotte reports several life events that could be related to her depression. Charlotte lost her job 1 ½ years ago and doesn’t feel qualified to find another meaningful job. Her mother died when she was a teenage and she was forced to take on the caregiver role rather than pursue school. Charlotte has a uterine condition preventing her from having kids. Charlotte is also having some difficulties in her marriage despite stating that the marriage is good overall.
Rachel is unable to deal with her life after Carlton dies, and she abuses sleeping pills to cope with her pain (Phillips 191). She also sleeps with many different men because it is the only way that she is able to feel better (Phillips 99). The narrator says of happiness: “Julian was the only one left who might remind her what it looked like” (Phillips 80). Rachel is miserable and turns to any pleasure source she can find, which is one reason she wants Julian back. He does not know she abuses sleeping pills and is so miserable because she presents the illusion that she is doing okay.

She is tired of fight with the world and is afraid of what is happening to her at this point in her life. So, as an escape from the reality of the world she closes her eyes. Sylvia is saying that just simply closing her eyes or hiding does not last forever because when she opens her eyes everything is still the same. "(I think I made you up inside my head)"?, with this, Sylvia is referring to the happiness and normality of her own life. She feels that this has never been a real part of her life and therefore she has only made it up in her head.
She speaks about not being able to have kids and how men would attempt to flatter her but she would repeatedly reject them. This again makes you feel her loneliness in this world. Her solitude is present and even she realizes it and you can’t help but empathize with her. The notion of solitude dwindles and depresses her.
