Woolf - A Room of One's Own

When I began reading this novel I was expecting the narrator, who we assume her name is Mary, to tell me the relationship between women and fiction. I soon found out that the novel would be mostly about her adventures in trying to find out the relationship between women and fiction. With her daring mind forced to read the words of the man's idea of what a woman is and what she is made of was as much an adventure as trying to find someone in the game of hide-and-go-seek. She became angry with a writer who she deemed Professor X. She made him an ugly man who was very sour and angry. I believe this was her way of expressing how she really feels.
As she moves forward in the novel Mary takes us everywhere she goes. When I was reading this I kept trying to relate this back to our topic, women and fiction, and I became somewhat distracted as I believe Mary was also distracted by her surroundings. As Mary was trying to lookk at everything with this question in mind, I too began to wonder what the progression of the novel would mean to resolve this lingering problem of this obscure relationship beetween women and fiction. Will she ever figure this out?

Writing is like a river...

Imagine a river. There are parts of the river where it is better defined as a stream. There are other parts of the river that are wide and deep. Some parts are slow moving and others are fast and have rapids.
Each paragraph is like a wide deep part of the river. The first and last paragraph are like the narrower parts of the river where rapids crash on the rocks and churn.
So, the paper begins rough and bumpy and then the body of the paper is wide and deep, finally the last paragraph is again narrow and focused and intense.
A paper is like a river.
