The Chicken Nugget

What is the "nugget of truth" that you will take away from A Room of One's Own? Don't just repeat Woolf's thesis statement. Think about your own life and experiences and go from there. Explain why you will take that nugget with you.


The nugget of truth for me is speaking with the reality and not living in a fantasy were everything is so perfect. it takes us to be our own self and express our emotions with not hiding it.With the white light of truth makes us to not have anger of why things happen but with why were put obstacles so we can show that we are strong and not let us destroy us.  

The Nugget of Truth

the nugget of truth that i will take with me is that we shouldnt be mad at the way that things turn out instead we should try to make the best of it. We shouldn't let the angel in the house prevent us from doing as we want instead we should show the ange that we are capable of doing want we want. Not to give up if the women before us we shouldn't either we should try our best to succeed and make the next generation proud as well.

Nuggets!!!! :D

Well I think the nugget of truth that I'll take with me is thaty anything and everything is possible and that we shouldn't give up even if we encounter obstacles that seem hard to overcxome we should be grateful for the oppurtunities that we are now offered and tkae advantage of them and remember all the struggles women before us went through to help us to were we are now

blah

Using the word nugget is just weird so the lesson I'm gona take from A Room of One's Own is that writing/living/thinking/etc in the white light of truth is better than doing all of that in the red light of emotion. I'm taking this lesson with me because I have a lot of anger built up inside and I'm always in the red light of emotion. So what Virginia Woolf said about the white light of truth made me think and start going in that direction instead of the other.

.

The nugget of truth that I will take is not to let criticizim get in the way of being successful. Also not letting obsicals take over. I know that if I want to do something I'll do it. I can take down obsticals like everyone else.when someone wants to be successful in life nothIng can stop the . And to tMe advantage of what we can do.

Hmm the "nugget of truth"

The "Nugget of Truth" That I will take from Woolf's Book A Room of One's Own, Is that you should always write in the white light of truth so you can actually get the fully truth out in you writing because if you write in the the red light of truth then it would be a whole bunch of lies that hurts people and don't want that to actually to happen. I will take this "Nugget of Truth" with me because when i am angry i tend to say things i don't mean and then later on i tend to regret what i say. So by taking what Woolf said will help me to write in the white light of truth.

Detras de un gran hombre, hay una gran mujer!

The nugget of truth that I took from Virginia Woolf is that we all need to have a little from both genders. Most of the men who write have some parts of women inside them. The woman also needs to have some parts of men. Both women and men are interdependent, and we become more interdependent when it comes to succeeding in life. There is a refrain in Spanish which goes, "Detras de un gran hombre, hay una gran mujer", which translates to "behind a great man, there is a great woman".

X marks the spot o:

The "nugget of truth" I will take with me from  A Room of One's Own is to write in the white light of truth. In order to fully understand what you're talking about and really make up your own mind and opinion you need to be able to look at situations in an unbiased way. Record the information, analyse it, take what YOU believe (and not what everyone else tells you to believe) and leave the rest behind. You need to able to detach yourself from criticism and chose the path that best suites you, even if that's the path no one has taken. That can make all the difference.

What will I take with me?

Well talking about nuggets got me hungry!! but Virginia Woolf does an excellent job at giving her reader something to take with after showing her reader what her main points were. The "nugget of truth" that I will take with me is that no matter where I go there will always be that angel in the house that will try and ruin the plans that I have for the future, Virginia Wolf is telling us as her reader that it doesn't matter if you have to kill the angel in the house in order to accomplish your dreams and that is exactly what I will do. Also if I want to become someone I have to learn how to speak and write with the white light of truth and never with the red light of emotion. Virginias short book is a great book that can give many young girls like myself a bunch of advice to take with and learn to be a better person, not just to be a bit of a feminist but to want to have the best in life as possible. Virginia Woolf's nugget is a very big life changing nugget that is going to hopefully help me in college so that I can find my little fish and maybe even point out when somebody is in the red light of emotion.

The Nugget of the Turth!

well lets see the "the nugget of the truth" for me would be that writers, poets etc. at the end of the day are important. Even though many of us, including myself, dont like english without these people we wouldn't have the books we have today or any piece of literature. The works of literature influence us and many of them have lessons. Also they relate to many of the things that happen around us. So i guess we should be grateful that we have writers and poets:)

"We are little Nuggets"

 The "nugget of truth" that I will take from Virginia Woolf is that we are all capable of greatness. It is in us and we just have to find it. It will not be easy but we cannot just give up. Like for women writers in the past had obstacles but they did change something in the long run even if it was a very small thing. The "nugget of truth" that I found for myself is not to let any obstacle get in my way, it will not be easy but that I can do it. And maybe just maybe I can change something for future generations.

The nugget of truth for me would be that there is no better sex. One can not simply choose one gender over the other. Especially when it comes to writing, or any other form of art. You have to use techniques from both genders, or place yourself in the middle of it all.

i agree with woolf that all fiction does need to be based on some reality because then it would just be very confusing and not so understandable. Its needs to be based on stuff we know so we can understand it. I don't really agree on the white light of truth though maybe Austen was writing in the red light and was still able to write a good book. she wrote on what happened to her and sort of ranting on that she will do what she wants to do and that she doesn't care about what others say but it still turned out to be a good book.

What argument I agree with??

I agree with what Virginia Woolf said about some authors and the way they write. I believe that some do actually write with the white light of truth and others with the red light of emotion. That ia some thing very cleaver that she was able to notice so long ago. Also the fact that she mentioned that fiction should always be attached to some sort of reality. In my opinion this gives the story a way in which the reader can relate to, it is also very true that all fiction is all also related these are all some arguments that I agree with Virginia Woolf.

[INSERT CLEVER TITLE HERE]

Which parts of Virgnia Woolf's argument are most compelling to you? What do you agree with? Disagree with? Explain.
I can't really say which arguments are the ones that stick to me because its actually pretty hard to understand them in general. Even if I understand one of the arguments, majority of the time I agree. When she said, in the beginning of the book, that all we need is a money and a room of one's own, I think I remember people saying that they disagreed about the fact that you need money. I think she was right in a way, if she was trying to view things from a logical perspective. If she was then there are also several things that she left out. She would also need a place in which she can go to gather information and ideas, or "go fishing". yeah.

The parts that are the most compelling for me from the argument Woolf brings up is the fact that women were not given the same opportunity as men. Men had more opportunities to get an education, money and to write. The women were suppose to do what it was expected from them and not get adventures like men, ex: Shakespeare. The part stroke me the most because even though time has passed, we do get opportunities, but as much as men do

The truth!

I agree with the fact that writers write in either the red light of emotion or the white light of truth. Like that professor X guy, he doesn't agree with women writing and whatnot. He is stuck in the red light of emotion which is what the men in the time period were in. They did not see that women should write, they were stuck on the power and keeping women in the kitchen. The white light of truth is what I like about this because Virginia Woolf recognizes that we all have a part of us that holds the truth and we should all write about it to share the truth as a whole.

My mind went blank as soon as I read the question....

So, i don't like some of the feminist aspects of Woolf only because I feel like she takes extremes sometimes. Yes, men did not accept women as writers and only had few expectations of women that had nothing to do with knowledge. BUT do you really think that Shakespeare's sister would have killed herself? What she could have been successful because of the fact that her brother was only the most famous play writer of the time period? For all we know she could have been like Jane Austen or Virginia Woolf. We cannot underestimate the bravery of a woman, no matter what the time period is. The thing I do agree with Virginia Woolf on is that she believes in how amazing women can be as writers and that if you give them the space and time they can do even greater things that men have done.

New Format Blahhhh

Q:Which parts of Virgnia Woolf's argument are most compelling to you? What do you agree with? Disagree with? Explain.


A: The red light emotion is one of parts of Virgnia Woolf's argument that are compelling to me. Most of us well actually everyone uses red light emotion especially writers. Few people use the white light of truth and set apart all the anger they have towards someone or something. Woolf make us realize that we should find the truth instead of having the anger all inside of us. 

"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong." -Bertrand Russel

Like a sir Lady!

An argument that Virginia Woolf makes that i do not agree with is (maybe I'm not understanding this concept right) but the thing about fiction being attached to the reality and can only speak of reality seems kind of weird to me. If she means that writers can only right reality then who is going to come up with the unimaginable? People need to find something to look forward too like the flying cars and stuff.

What i most agree on is the fact that people need to write the truth. But then again what is the truth? The truth is different for all people so no one knows what is the truth. And now I sound all philosophical.

Here are some quotes I liked from the book. Enjoy!

1. "'Wise men never say what they think of women' Wise men never say anything else apparently."
2. " I need not hate men; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me"
3. "Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do"
