HW:30 Peace and Freedom
Posted by pgraham on March 27th, 2008
In Chapter 5 of A Room of One Own, Virginia Woolf explains to us that women are writing more and more at the time she was writing. She believes that women can write in a certain way where they are just writing to form a “woman’s sentence.” She makes a statement which lets us know how much she enjoys the natural voice of women in writing; “The natural simplicity, the epic age of women’s writing may have gone.” (Woolf 93) She identifies the voice of women as being a great writer of fiction. I believe that she would want me to find some form of art or study that will keep me happy and occupied. She loves freedom as a writer in her case, but she would want everyone to have freedom to explore which of that they loved. “The whole of the mind must lie wide open if we are to get the sense that the writer is communicating his experience with perfect fullness. There must be freedom and there must be peace. Not a wheel must grate, not a light glimmer.” (Woolf) So i guess i need to find what i would call my room, life is not so simple as it was back then. I’ll find what I love and make that my life so overall it would be the same idea of freedom to do what I want and the peace of mind to accomplish it.
