Annotations: A Room of Her Own Brentley Patrick #2: This annotation at first glance appears to me to be faulty in a sense. I agree with the fact that it flows from choppy “Ands” to smooth “Commas”. But is that all taking place in this sentence? The author could have applied the fact that all of her clothes were second hand yet this one she kept like it were brand new each time she wears it.

5. How does Woolf understand the relationship between literature‚ sex and gender in A Room Of One’s Own?

They do it not for her pleasure‚ but for their own convenience. They care neither for what she thinks‚ nor her interests or values. Money is the most important thing to them.

Reading Response #8 Reading: “A Room of One’s Own‚ a Mind of One’s Own” by Robert Storr I don’t often consider the artist’s studio when I am looking at art‚ but Robert Storr’s commentary on the perception of the “artist studio” was interesting and reminded me that there are other aspects to the creation of a piece of art other than a brush with paint being placed on canvas.
