Ashton - Mr. Sterling, Tom, Jerry Nicole - Tammy, Mrs. Richards, Narrator The Dirty Prank It was a sunny spring day on a small bank, in a city in downtown Florida, where the leaves were growing, and the flowers were blooming. On my way to art class, I saw all the kids playing on the playground and everyone wearing T-shirts and shorts. It was a Friday in April and I was getting ready for my art class and I had something special planned. “Hi, Mrs. Richards. It is a very nice day today,” I had said with a huge smile. “It is a nice day,” Mrs. Richards replied.

Then my mom randomly picked up a soccer ball, then threw it in Mr. Sterling’s face. “OWWWWW!” yelled Mr. Sterling. “I can’t believe my son is in detention for doing something he didn’t do!” My mom shouted. “What he did was pranked Mrs. Richards,” explained Mr. Sterling. Then my mom asked, “Why did you do that, Tom?” “I did it because Mrs. Richards dumped paint on me and called me a loser in front of everyone,” I said. “Why would she do something like that?” My mom asked. “I think she hates me even though I have been a good kid,” I assumed. “Can you believe what she did!?” My mom asked madly to Mr. Sterling. As we turned to look, he was already out of the office. We tried to find him and we looked in the art room, and we saw Mr. Sterling talking to Mrs. Richards who was covered in paint. “I’m sorry for what Tom did to you,” Mr. Sterling nicely

In the short story, Perkins Gilman juxtaposes universal gender perspectives of women with hysterical tendencies using the effects of gradually accumulating levels of solitary confinement; a haunted house, nursery, and the yellow wallpaper to highlight the American culture of inherited oblivious misogyny and promote the equality of sexes.
