HW 30: A room to my own

A room that I call my own is my room at my house. I have my own wing of the house kind of, my room, a guest room, and a bathroom with a connecting hallway and door, so it gives me a feeling of my own place and privacy. I like being in my room because everything that I need is right there, I have my computer and my TV. I mostly do work in my room and being able to focus without any noises is key for me. “But this creative power differs greatly from the creative power of men” (Woolf, 87). Woolf is saying that woman and men have different ways of thinking and that our creative ways of thinking are completely different than men’s. “It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple; one must be a woman-manly or a man-womanly” (Woolf, 104). Woolf is saying that not all women are as feminine as they are made out to be, and that all men are not as tough as they are thought to be. Women have to have some manly traits in order to be a normal woman in society. I think in my room I am able to do my girly things as well as my boyish things. I am also able to be creative and think about the things I want to.
