Reading this chapter of novel ‘Ulysses,’ was terribly confusing, it seemed that there was no structure to how the story went on, or if there was, I could barely see threads of it. For example, from the said tastes at the beginning and the uneven transition to the dialogue, I honestly believed at first that… View More

As with you, I too feel this death was unfortunate, and should not have gone this far. While I cannot claim to understand war as you have, I do understand emotions, whether they be mine or others. With how Septimus’ thoughts and feelings were displayed, I could see how hopeless he had been left after his… View More

Thus far into this novel I’ve read lately, I can honestly say I’m surprised at how much I dislike these people of Holmes and Bradshaw, though I mean no ill will towards you Detective Holmes.

I not only love getting to be inside her head, but all of the other characters heads too. It is such a refreshing experience that… View More

If I do say so myself, I am having such a wonderful time reading Mrs. Dalloway. She is such a free spirit and splendid person to read about. I am still having difficulties trying to figure what is going on in the story, but it is well worth it. I am finding it more and… View More

Oh my my my, what a wonderful novel so far. I just love the way Mrs. Dalloway lets us into her head. I imagine that if you all could see into my head it would look somewhat similar, but probably not. I was so thankful to see that she values marriage and the covenant that… View More

I must say that prefer Mrs. Dalloway in comparison to many of the other writings of this dreadful time period. Mrs. Dalloway shows that the lady of the house is supposed to dress nice and throw parties, and buy flowers. She understood that she may have regrets with her marriage, but she stuck to her… View More
