The narrator seemed to just jump from idea to idea, comparing the drawing room to something that ends up seeming completely unrelated.
Example Two: pg1193 lines 30-34 "She had gone presumably into the lower garden to pick flowers; or as it seemed more natural to suppose, to pick something light and fantastic and leafy and trailing, traveler's joy, or one of those elegant sprays of convolvulus that twine around ugly walls and burst here and there into white and violet blossoms." Again, she seems to get lost in her own thoughts thinking about all of the things that she could be doing and how she could piece it together.
Example Three: pg1195, lines20-23 "She was thinking, perhaps, that she must order a new net for the strawberries; that she must send flowers to Johnson's widow; that it was time she drove over to the Hippesleys in their new house." It seems like she all of a sudden remembers all of the things she wants to get done and thinks of them all at once, jumping from thought to thought.]]> 2019-04-15 13:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351653392 bpickering0051 https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351654055 Knowing the historical context behind the era in which this was written helped me understand the things that influenced the decisions Isabella made and the things she did. She wished the bills and other sorts of letters she received were letters from friends, and her colorful, decorated drawing room is most likely decorated with things she hasn't even paid for yet. She has all of the nicest clothes and accessories, yet she still isn't happy. She is attempting to live the life of someone she is not, and the era of Modernism helps you interpret this because of the effect the wars and the depression during Industrialization had on the people living through it.]]> 2019-04-15 13:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351654055 bpickering0051 https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351654221 Example One: pg1199 lines 9-16 "How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet (for a girl of eighteen as she then was) solemn, feeling as she did, standing there at the open window, that something awful was about to happen; looking at the flowers, at the trees with the smoke winding off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Walsh said, "Musing among the vegetables?"-- was that it?" This shows the narrator getting lost in their thoughts and continuously comparing one thing to another until they just end up on a different subject.
Example Two: pg1199 lines 16-20 "He would be back one of these days, June or July, she forgot which, for his letters were awfully dull; it was his sayings one remembered; his eyes, his pocket-knife, his smile, his grumpiness and, when millions of things had utterly vanished- how strange it was!- a few sayings like this about cabbages."  This quote jumps all over the place from his sayings to his pocket knife and back to his sayings about cabbages.
Example Three: pg1199 lines27-28 "For having lived in Westminster-how many years now? over twenty,-" In this quote they start questioning themselves mid thought and you can see that as a reader. ]]> 2019-04-15 13:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351654221 bpickering0051 https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351654318 Having knowledge about the era helps you understand this passage, with the weird feeling that something bad is about to happen probably just because bad things happened often in this era, and all of the specific mentions of what were new pieces of equipment at the time, such as motor cars, vans, and omnibuses. These are important because it shows some of the things that the Industrial Revolution brought to the world.]]> 2019-04-15 13:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bpickering0051/uwkd82criros/wish/351654318
