Our fast-paced environment concerns me because it detracts from our quality of life. In a society obsessed with efficiency and progress, we often forget to appreciate the present. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf’s message about time struck me as thoughtful and pertinent to our lives in the 1990s. Furthermore, learning becomes an exciting, challenging experience when I can use the knowledge to enhance my life. Therefore, each time I read something, I see it as an opportunity to integrate new concepts into my personal life or my perspective on society. Words have little meaning unless I can apply them to my daily life. The first sentence of the novel sends her on her way so that she can begin observing the world around her. That first sentence tells us right off the bat that nothing in this story is going to be handed to us.Writer’s comment: Whenever I read, I want to find a way to relate the content to the present-to my life as well as to society at large. It is her job and she does it well it is what the people around her recognize her for, whether or not that’s what she actually wanted from her life. Dalloway knows exactly what her party should look like, right down to the flowers, and that this is important to her.
Dalloway were leaving to buy a pair of gloves or something, though Woolf probably could have made that beautiful, and it does feel like a Woolf short story that is probably out there. It would admittedly be less compelling if Mrs. They are also frivolous and something not everyone can afford. Why start with the flowers? Flowers are naturally feminized. All of this and we get to go with her on her journey, inside of her head. This woman doesn’t have to wait for things to be done for her if she doesn’t want to.
She lives in a time in which wealthy women can run some of their own errands (the fun ones). Dalloway is a married woman and she has servants - people who would otherwise be running errands for her - which implies that she is part of the upper class. Dalloway is or why she’s buying the flowers, but there are still some things we can extrapolate from the sentence: Mrs. It is the entire first paragraph of the novel, so it is visually set apart in space from what comes after it. That first line drops us right into the action.
