Jorge Luis Gutierrez Prof. Koritsoglou English 103H 3-17-17 Close Reading Essay 1 Virginia Woolf's novel To the Lighthouse greatly explores the stream of consciousness of its characters. In this novel, external events possess little space, and instead are replaced by an omniscient storyteller who vanishes from the beginning; emphasizing the work through emotional cognizance. The novel does not advance on a sequential premise, but instead pushes ahead through a progression of scenes orchestrated…

09/18/2015 Period:2 Type your essay here: I imagine the classic kindergarten book book “Down By The Bay”, as I sit on the bench at the Suisun City Waterfront. As I look across the glassy water I see the gleaming reflection of the lighthouse. Next to the lighthouse, a man sits as if he was a statue. Lifeless, breathing sporadically, the man gazes into the distance as if he was trying to go somewhere but he was glued to the bench. The man's tattered jacket swayed in the brisk breeze. His…

Poverty. A word that we do not often think about here in America where we have everything we could need and more. This past summer I had an eye opening encounter with poverty. I was anxious to arrive at Restored Church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. As soon as we arrived I knew this was going to be a completely different experience compared to other mission’s trip I had been on. I was unaware of just how much this trip was about to affect me and my way of thinking. We were just a group of…

Morrison makes detailed comparisons between Ruth's passion for the watermark and a lighthouse keeper who gazes at the sea as well as a prisoner who searches out the sun. Here, the allusion to the lighthouse keeper and the prisoner help the reader connect to Ruth's desire to confirm the watermarks presence. It is very effective when the author connects characters feelings to allusions that the…

Virginia Woolf is relatively well known for her ability to provide a feminist perspective on society, as exemplified in her 1927 novel, To the Lighthouse. Woolf has an acute awareness to the damage the domestic sphere can have on women; her writing illustrates the limits and restrictions placed upon them in Victorian culture. These limitations are highlighted not in the trapped and conventional narrative of Mrs. Ramsay, but rather in the struggle for autonomy that Lily and Mrs. Ramsay’s…

well how after their experiences with seeing UFO’s they tried to report the experience to their chain of command and the evidence was either taken or explained away as “flares” or a” lighthouse light.” This idea is simply ridiculous because this is the military and they know the difference between a UFO and a lighthouse (see figure 1). In conclusion, we may never know the truth about UFO’s or if we really are alone in the universe but for those of you asking those questions I think this…

I have considered different perspectives on the psychological manipulation used in room 101. Some feel that winston broke and gave in too early. He was weak and could barely endure the pain. They believe if they were in his situation they could hold out longer or not even break at all. I completely disagree with this perspective. I believe Winston was average for how long he held out. If someone were to torture you with what your greatest fear is, rats in Winston's case. You would break just as…

Virginia Woolf was an English writer in the twentieth century. During this time, society revolved around sex. According to Sigmund Freud, the emotions that were aroused in a young child (typically around the age of four) resulted in an unconscious sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex. This is referred as the Oedipus complex. Virginia Woolf, would take these new psychoanalysis studies and apply them to the female gender. She would try and negate many of the concepts that society…
