Dear jess:
As you know I also have to read A Room of One’s Own by Virginia wolf for my blog class. I as well thought that the reading was extremely difficult. In chapter one the main character Mary, is attending college at Oxbridge place which is a very good school. It is said it the book that women needs money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. In the story Mary shows her anger towards this. Mary is sitting on a bank near the river thinking about the connection to women and fiction, and how she disagrees with the statement women and needs money and a room to write fiction. Mary gets stopped by Beadle and tells her that women are not allowed on the turf. Throughout this chapter she is not allowed to do certain things because she is a girl such as going into the library. She thinks and expresses her thought about her anger and women and literature. Your teacher might think that this such an important work because it talks a lot about how sex what such a huge issue and it will show us how much has been changes since than. I really did feel that this is an important read but very difficult as well.
Love Alex

Also important is the comparison between Oxbridge, the men's university, and Fernham, the women's college, including the long descriptions of two meals the narrator eats, which demonstrate that women do not have the same access to education, tradition, and money that men do.
Since we're using MLA style documentation in the class, don't forget to use in-text citations to give the page number of passages of text that you quote or summarize.
