HW 30: My Own Room
I believe that I do have my own room. I knew this when I read the following quote from chapter 5, “For women have sat indoors all these millions of years, so that by this time the very walls are permeated by their creative force” (Woolf, 87). Woman are granted their own power, this power is a room. Virginia Woolf also discusses how women should take stances for themselves. Too add onto this, in chapter six Woolf says that, “There must be freedom and there must be peace. Not a wheel must grate, not a light glimmer. The curtains must be close drawn. The writer, I thought, once his experience is over, must lie back and let his mind celebrate his nuptials in darkness” (Woolf, 104). It’s not the things inside of a room that makes it special and meaningful but instead it is what a woman makes of it. A woman’s room should show her true colors, it should be a representation of who she is. Within the four walls of my dorm room is my little abode. The colors represent me, hot pink and black. You cannot miss out on any of my pictures which are so important to me because I feel that all my friends and family represent me in many different ways. Each person is different in their own way, that is why I believe that each individual has their “own room.”
