Hmmm The Argument.....

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


During the book the argument that is most compelling to me is when she starts to talk about how the professor had a red light emotion by the way he was describe in the book how he was so angry that he was holding back the truth. In her argument is that is is better to write in the white light of emotion so the truth can be set free and be brought the light. I totally agree with Virgnia Woolf because i personally think it is right to write in the white light of truth so that people can get there truth out and plus if you write in the red light then everything on the page will not be true and angry can go towards a certain person or group of people.

this new layout is confusing...

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


The argument that is most compelling to me is that women need a room of their own to write in. I don't think that they need a small quiet room to write in because what are they going to write about? There's nothing going on in there. I think it's better that they write where there's distractions because that way, they can write about the world around them and what's going on. For example, Jane Austen wrote in the living room where it was busy all the time. Look at how popular Pride and Prejudice still is today. She wrote about what the people around her were doing. If she were to sit in a quiet room by herself, she probably write something like "Sitting in a room. Nothing is happening." That's boring. So I don't think you need a room of your own to write.

Virginia Woolf's

Woolf's argument that Bronte wrote with the red light of emotion and Austen wrote in the white light of truth. I though Austen wrote in the red light of emotion but seen Woolf's points comparing Bronte and Austen's writing I realize she was not. I agree with her points because Austen wrote with what she knew and saw in society and in the end of Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth does get married which is what society wanted but she married someone she loved. If she was writing with the red light of emotion she would have kept Elizabeth single and independent. Bronte in the other hand the man goes blind and the wife in the attic died the girl survives and happily ever after but with very bad consequences.

:p

she might need a good office, a good mind full of ideas, a good environment like a good neighbor hood thats quiet. maybe a garden to think and write outside. Family for support a staff like a editor. She cant have many distractions either because it can ruin the mind process.

-_-

Ummmmmmm... I guess some imagination. And some logic. You have to know how to get yourself out there as well as being able to yourself out there too. And nowadays we don't write books with a pencil and paper anymore Noonan, we use computers. ha. Support from my family and friends would help too, which is what Virginia Woolfe didn't have. She had support from family i think but not from any other people. Knowledge is a given for writing as well.

Cris- yea a brain would be a good idea to have or like any knowledge to help her write she would need a little college at least.

Shierra- yea i think you need passion to write that stuff and a goal cause without a goal you don't know what your aiming for in writing.

comment on kandys post

yes Kandy is right a woman should stop being afraid of living in a mans world. And think she is also able to succeed and will not be put down by a man. That is also very important I give you props

The weather is nice :P

Virgnia Woolf argues that in order to write, a woman must have money and a room of her own. What would you add to that list? Think beyond just "pen," and "paper." If you wanted to spend your lifetime writing, what would you need--both literally and figuratively?

In my opinion in order for a woman to spend the rest of her life time writing she would need money and a room to herself. She should also use other books as a nice guide to help her expand her knowledge. Books would help her think of things that other people have not written about and that would make her stuff unique. Also another thing that a woman might need is support, she would need this in order to feel confident that she is doing a good job or else none of her things would seem worth living for. Another thing is passion, a woman must have the passion to write so she can feel good and positive that her stories will later be intriguing to the reader. Another thing that a woman must need to be able to become a writer is connections with other people that will help her expand worldwide and therefore become greatly known all over the place. She will need to make friends so they can also help her out in accomplishing her goals.

[INSERT CLEVER TITLE HERE]

It isn't really as simple as wolf described. But then again, nothing ever is. One of the things that a woman would need is the ability to go out and wander. If you're stuck in one room then you won't be able to grasp ideas out of thin air. You need to "go fishing".  Another thing that you would need is a person to either input ideas or to see if your ideas are good too. You Need at least a little of  education. I think thats about everything. Yeah.

hmm what would i add

I have many things that I would like to add to her list. In order to write I think you should have passion because if you don't have passion then you not going to be able to sit down and write about something you love. Another thing I would add is you have to set a goal for yourself that you are going to write because you want to but not for anyone else reasons.

Brains!!!!

i agree with virgina wolf you do need money and a room of your own to be able to write. i also think that in order to write a woman also needs to have a brain in other words she needs to have knowledge of some sort. she needs the ability to understand what she is writing about. if she understands what she is writing about her readers will understand as well.

I agree with Virgina Woolf 100 percent i also believe that a woman needs to know who she is as a person. She needs to know what she believes in and what she wants to stand up for. A woman knowing herself is the most important thing. It doesnt matter if her views and opinions are different then others as long as she believes in herself and her values and morals. Great writers have a sense to what they want to write about it and believe in.

If actions speak louder than words then why is the pen mightier than the sword??? s

According to virginia woolf all a woman needs to write fiction is money and a room of ones own.I agree to a certain extent. I think that in order for a woman to write a woman needs a MIND of her own.she needs to be able to express her emotions knowing the possible repercussions and still not be afraid of being a WOMAN in a mans world.That, guys, is what a woman truly needs.

My reaction
so long boring and lame and was very long...

Torturous?
yes it was hard as it can be seen from the results. It would've been better if the question weren't so hard and boring.

The sections
they all seemed hard to me none were easy at all, the hard questions are always the whole general theme ones.

The essays
the essays were lame i cant think of a good enough choice for the question, but i did finish in time about 5-8 minutes early maybe.

D:

The practice exam was terrible. I feel like since i had to go through that once, im really not going to have the mental energy to do it again. I felt like boring with very long was just the worst thing ever. Thanks for the panera though. That was my only motivation to come >.<

Ap Exam!!!!!!!!!

I actually was tired and nervous about the previous exams. Exams are long and boring that sometimes it attack us becuase then we just get tired at the middle or by the end of the exam. The multiple choices were a little hard especially the first passage. The poems were ok but some of the answers were tricky. The essays ufffffff....especially one of them I was confused and did not know were to start. I did not have enough time because I was trying to finish all three essays and then if I had enough, I will go back and add more. But that day was a torture because we had to do three essays.

-__-

Well... I took it yesterday. I thought it was going to be hard, but I felt like it wasn't. The funny thing is that when I feel like a test is easy, it is not, and get most of the work wrong. It was pretty boring and tiring, but I survived. I am a little afraid i didn't do good on my essays, but hopefully I did.

The AP exam was very boring. In the begining I did okay, then in the end I did pretty bad. I did okay in the poem of New York, it was interesting. The writting part was too long. I did the first essay question first, then a I did the third one, and the last one was the second one because that was the most difficult one for me. I did not really finish.
