    women’s colleges were considerable in Virginia Woolf’s day. Rather than assert this in a pedestrian‚ expository way‚ Woolf uses the respective meals served at each college to illustrate the discrepancies between the schools. The meals are a metaphorical device‚ akin to a poetic conceit: Woolf makes a far more forceful‚ profound distinction between the male and female schools through such juxtaposition than if she had merely enumerated their inconsistencies. Woolf details the relative poverty of the

    A HUANTED HOUUUUUUUSEEE!! Virginia Woolf’s short story ’a haunted house’ is about a house and a ’ghostly couple’ that inhabit it. The short story uses much symbolism and is very short but can be read again and again with new discoveries each time. The first time I read this story I was pretty clueless to what it was all about. I was unsure of who the characters were and the story was just generally confusing and I got the feeling that the ghosts were antagonistic characters. What are they

Whenever that happened‚ people would say that the old house must have been a bakery or‚ at the very least‚ the former home of a fabulous baker. Sometimes‚ the neighbors would hear the sound of music and laughter coming from the empty house as if there

    last but not least--haunted houses! I dread going to a haunted house. Unfortunately if I do not go‚ I get teased by my friends. Learning how to walk through a haunted house is scary but possible to do. As my friends and I stood gazing at the run-down house‚ my body shivered‚ as though‚ chills had just trickled down my spine. The cold air wrapped my entire body. The multiple layers of clothing I was wearing could not save me against the deathly cold. The walkway leading up to house is cracked. Weeds
