trekking through my twenties

This reading was much more interesting to me. I feel like there were many more connections made in this connect yet there were distances established. Some characters are very conservative about their lives and then there are some that are constantly airing out dirty laundry throughout the book.  Richard want to say ‘I love you’ to Clarissa, thinks about it, gets her flowers, but then decides not to. From a personal perspective, don’t wait to say those things. Those 3 words can be something that changes someone or something forever. You never know when the last time will be that you get to say those words.  We can sort of infer that Richard does not normally say those things because Clarissa does not seem to NEED those things to be said to her but I’m sure she thinks about them, we all do. She enjoys that her and Richard have some established privacy in their relationship but I wonder how that would work? Would you want your significant to know everything about you? How would you make a

 I would like to preface this blog with a quote from Virginia Woolf that I love, "Someone has to die in oder that the rest of us should value life more." Although this is literally nothing to do with the reading we were assigned, it is still a powerful quote that has a lot of meaning behind it. I have read a few writings of Woolf's and I have enjoyed them all. They are a little slow to start but they grow and prosper into great reads.  The start of this book, to me, begins by touching on the "day in the life" of a woman. Clarissa Dalloway is a wealthier woman whose main role is a housewife. She's taking a stroll through London's city when she describes the sounds go Big Ben, run errands, and mentions how she loves walking through the city rather than the country-side. As the pages increase in number, we are introduced to many characters. Peter, who Clarissa has a past with, Septimus, a veteran suffering with suicidal thoughts, Richard Dalloway, the husba

 In this blog, I thought we would touch on the topic of how money talks. There are multiple instances through out his reading that we completed where you can see that money has an influence on the decisions that are made. For example, on page 168, Waverly talks about how it is "difficult and dangerous to detain him unless they can produce some proper authority." Waverly knows about what he has done but does not seem phased with the possible outcome of it all. He seems as though his actions can be missed because of the way he carries himself when he is around others. He has painted a very innocent picture of himself and some people choose to believe it.   In todays society, this is common in different fashions. For example, it is common in high school sports that if your family has money or if they are well-known in the community, they often get to play more than the others even if they have a lot of talent in that perspective sport. In a more recent fashion, I'm sure we h
