Your assignment for Tuesday has two parts, which are detailed below. Also, come to class ready to continue working on the research paper.
Part 1: Select a passage at least ten lines in length (but not more than twenty) from chapter 5 or 6 of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own that stands out to you for its style (the way it is written) or substance (the point Woolf is making). Write a rhetorical analysis of that passage that explains why it stands out to you. This analysis should be six-to-eight sentences long.
Part 2: Then, just as Woolf chose her topic of women and fiction because she thought it was a poorly understood topic, consider an issue regarding any aspect of communication (social media, mass media, literature, social analysis, journalism, and so on) that is of interest to you. Write something about that aspect of communication in a way that imitates Woolf's style and structure in the passage you wrote about in Part 1, and it should be about as long that passage.
