  3. Play the name game with the names of the characters from "Story of an Hour" and "The Yellow Wallpaper."
  • At your table, list all the names of the characters from each story.
  • Divide the names - each searching for some, but not all. In other words, on person should not do all of the work. Place your initials by the name(s) you researched.
  • Each table will create a list of names and meanings.
  • Note any famous folks or events from history where the names appear. Think. Is there any relation to the characters or events from the story? Explain.
