1. Political Struggles About this reading I can say that a horrible event as the war can start a new creative and artistical movement.In this case the great war give the oportunity to diferent artist to write poems about the war and its fatal consequences even new poets werw born during the great war, those new poems were the soldiers of the people that was directly involve in the war.
2. Mrs. Dalloway on Sparknotes. A great book of virginia woolf. In this book virginia shows one day of the life of a woman named clarissa.The writer place te story one day after the world war I.Besides that it show us how the wars affects peoples life and the social stability of the implicated countries
3. James Joyce: Ulysses In this book we can finda big influence of the odyssey by homer because relates the story as a journey, in the case of Ulysses present the journey of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus both alteregos of the author, the first one represent the old Joyce and the second one the young Joyce. It is consider the most importat english book.
4.Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 Personal opinion: A great book because the way that the writer represents a social problem or event as is the russian revolution. The way that the writer represent the people as animals is quite interesting because was an innovating way to represent the people(doers and victims)that was involve in that historiacal event.
That books can be compare in some way with the pink floyd album Animals, in which the band represents the people of each social status as animals.By the way great band and a very good album.
1. Political Struggles something interesting to add: at that time, people didn't think about the Great War as a graet success, it was temporary situation that must happend quickly. Long time after, they realized in the extensive damages that affected. It caused a change in the military and political history, and besides it was a principal cuase of the emergence of a new way of literature.
2. Mrs. Dalloway The Virginia's best novel. The story tells about a single day in the life of Clarissa Dolloway and Septimus W. smith. Virginia present a very common situation in which women are subjected to sexual and economic repression. The difference between the main characters are very obvious, especially because Mr Smith is a veteran who has returned to the war with serious psychological problems.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses the most relevant aspect of the Joyce's novel is the great similarity with the Homer's epic work. The novel has 18 chapters, each of them has their own title, an own way of writing and a close relation with The Odyssey 's characters.
4.Orwell's Animal Farm a really funny story in my opinion. It tells about a group of animals tired of abuses which dreams with a better life. At the beginning everything is fine, they set their own rules but some time after they started to feel uncomfortable with the new leaders. I think the book reflects political events releated to the 20th century.
About political struggles. While I was Reading about Political struggles, a movie called “Enemy at the Gates” came to my mind. It seems that during periods of wars, writers play an important role. They can encourage or discourage soldiers with words instead of the bullets. May be that is why people say “The pen is mightier than the sword” but in this case would be mightier than bullets.
As Virginia Woolf’s works usually are, Mrs. Dalloway is a novel oriented to promote the feminism after the Great War. The character of Clarissa is oriented to show how women of the upper class were treated around those days. Even tough it is considered one of the best novels of the last century; the plot is kind of repetitive. What I mean is that the originality of the novel is in the technique that Woolf used, but the plot is in the same line of previous women writers (Lady Mary Chudleigh, 1600)
James Joyce: Ulysses I’m agree with Gelmis. The most important aspect is the similarities of the novel with Homer’s journey in “The Odyssey”. This guy (James Joyce) got the inspiration from the Greek novel and adapted it to the times of 1900, in Dublin, Ireland.
1-Political Struggles It is a fact; all wars mark a change in humans' life. This Great War was not the exception because it marked a sea-change in the course of military and political history, and it also marked a change in the literature during the 20th century. As a result, many poets were born inspired in the traumatic situations they lived.
2- Mrs. Dalloway Virginia Woolf wrote the novel Mrs. Dalloway, it narrates the life of a woman called Clarissa Dalloway in a day after The World War I England. She is an upper-class housewife. During that day, she goes around London in order to prepare herself for a party of which she will be the hostess. In context, this novel represent the reality that people from England lived during The World War I. People lived a traumatic situation in the real life. An example in the novel is Septimus Warren Smith.
Orwell's Animal Farm The seven commandments of the pigs are really funny but they do have a deep meaning for readers, especially number 6 and 7. Since the book is a satire about the Russian government, the idea of making a comparison between humans and animals is really good.
3-James Joyce: Ulysses Ulysses is a novel written by James Joyce. This novel is based on the structure of one of the most influential works in world literature, The Odyssey, by Homer; the only difference is that Homer presented the journey of life as a heroic adventure. On the other hand, Ulysses reflects the life of two men in a humdrum, dreary, and uneventful journey. I remember I read The Odyssey in High School. It is a nice novel!
4-Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 Animal Farm is an allegorical novel written by George Orwell. According to the information I read, I consider that it is an excellent way to criticize not only the corruption of the revolution by its leaders but also the malevolence, indifference, ignorance and greed to destroy any possibility of a Utopia.
1. Political Struggles During the World War I, many women had the opportunity to increase their income by working in different jobs that were available during the period of the war. The areas that needed to be filled by women were munitions, factories and textile jobs. The war represented to many women a chance to earn money.
2. Mrs. Dalloway on Sparknotes. The novel Mrs. Dalloway written by Virginia Woolf is focused in different topics such as the role that women have within the house as well as the madness that is represented by Septimus, a man that is traumatized as a result of the war. This novel portrays part of the live experiencing by thousands of people in England during the time of the war; it shows the consequences that are behind a war.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses James Joyce´s work was influenced by The Odyssey written by Homer… The story of Ulysses is centered mainly in a date which is June 16, 1904. A curious and interesting thing about it is that James Joyce decided to write the story based on that date in order to honour the day when he met his lover Nora Barnacle.
4.Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 Animal Farm is a satirist novel that illustrates how power can corrupt people. This matter is reflected through the animals that after having expulsed all humans that lived there, they begin to rule the farm in their own way. Since they have the total domain, they begin to manipulate the seven commandments that were established at the beginning.
Political struggles. First, the war represented a big expense for the country, factories were loosing employees and as a result, "money". Then, some changes in women's role happened, that, in some way, led to a change in the way the government saw their participation in society.
Mrs. Dalloway on Sparknotes. This is one of Woolf's most popular books. It's about the story of Clarissa as the host of a formal party and the way she interacts with them. The complete story of the book takes place in only one day. The date is mentioned in the book as "June 1923". Woolf describes the activity during that day by giving different details to make the reader feel involved in the story.
James Joyce: Ulysses This was a very revolutionary work. James Joyce´s ideas were presented in a way which people considered to be obscene. The impact of this book's content in society was so notorious that the case was even taken to court and the Judge John M. Woolsey declared that the book violated national standards for obscenity and it was finally prohibited to the public.
Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 In my opinion this work is a well created satire of the real world in that time. The way how Orwell represents all the groups of society with animals is very crative. It goes from the animal's desire to be independent of the human (Mr. Jones)and finish being unfairly ruled by the pigs.
1. Political Struggles. Perhaps, the Great War had started to move even before the assassination of Archduke Ferdiand. Probably, this was just used as an excuse to give the approval for what it was the very beginning of one of the most "deadliest conflicts" in history. I believe the great war brought many changes to the way people lived. And it was a time for powerful countries to take on more power.
1.The WWI changed the way to make wars, many weapons were "tested" like gas´s bombs, machine guns, and also the trenches became an important place to the soldiers to be safe. This "great war" was the opportunity that the British Empire was waiting for show that it has the most powerful kingdom in the world.
2. In Mrs. Dalloway novel, Virginia Woolf talks about two topics that were polemics in that time, women´s discrimination and the problems that the soldiers had after fought in the WWI. For me Virginia was very brave and determined since she decided to published her work in a time where women did not be able to have the possibilities for going to the University neither to vote.
3. In this novel James Joyce presents the life style of that time with a Jew as protagonist. It is supposed that Joyce wanted to compare Homer´s character with Leopold Bloom as his character, but I cannot find any connection with between those character, maybe Joyce wanted to be sarcastic , comparing a Greek hero with a ordinary Jew.
4. In animal farm, Orwell critizes the Communism that why the commanders of Russia are represented as pigs; indeed they have the highest rank in the farm above all the animal which represent the Russian people.
The world war I represented a serious of conflicts that emerged from its roots. thus conflicts were economics and politics which at the envolved civilians such as woman and man whom were supously defending their country. so the enviroment was terrible because people couldn't express what they think or also some people were deeply manipulated by politicians. so it was like an illness in which they can not see the reality or they didn't want to see it. But for some militars this was different because they can see very near what was happenning, and so that open the doors for some military writers whom purpose was expresed what it was happenning with them.
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf concern about woman status at that time which was impermissive because women were not allow to go universities, they concider as things that should not know more that a man, repercussion of world warI on people and about topics such as religion , sex and homosexuality.
James Joice wrote this novel based on his own experienced, so this novel is consider one of the best novels writen in English of the XX after shakespire.
The novel Animal Farm is a satire of the Russian revolution which it is associeated with military people of Russia. I think that the novel is very creative one because compare animals with people.
What a funny situation, if no one comment a topic the rest do not comment too. 4. 1984 An Orwell`s book describe a futuristic england which is governed by a single political party (totalitarian government) This book present by the very first time the concept of the big brother (the watchman) I hope now the rest comment about this book (LOL)
1. Political Struggles. The Wrld War I was a conflict where the biggest powers in the world were involved, more than 15 million people died and the economic consequences were bigger. In this war occure many crimes as genocide and ethnic cleasing of the ottoman's Empies Christian population.
2. Mrs. Dalloway on Sparknotes. Something I found interesting about this book is the narrative mode in which presents the characters' thoughts. The Stream of consciousness, widely use nowadays by many writers. I read that the term was introduced to literature from psychology, and "coined" by the philosopher and psychologist William James.
Something else that called my attention was the fact that Woolf had lost many of her relatives. I actually don't remember who once said: "To be a writer, you need to have a suffered soul." And it seems the one who said it was right. Mayhap, Woolf grief along with her intellect provided her with the right tools to write papers that excelled.
And such is the case of Mrs. Dalloway. The interesting plot relates the events covered from morning to night in the life of Clarissa Dalloway a housewive and the shifting thoughts between many other characters.
2. Mrs. Dalloway Is the forth and most known novel f Virginia woolf. This novel shows the life of Clarissa Dalloway in a wole day. This novel is about many different topics, the most importants are feminsm and craziness. Because of the similrities in structure and stetic somepeople believed that the novel was an answer to Ulysses by James Joyce but this is not sure.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses Something to point about Ulysses is that Joyce used a different style to write each chapter. At the begining it looks like something Chathic but while one is reading it is easier to understand the novel.
4.Orwell's Animal Farm this novel narates how the animals in Orwel farm revolt mister Orwel to take it and rename it as Animal Farm. Something funny about this novel is that the pigs are compared whit the politicias and the goverment were transformed in order to beneffit them. I know that Orwell nwrote it reffering to th epoliticians at that time but i think that it can be aplied nowadays too in many countries ans el Salvador isn't te exeption.
Orwell's 1984 Is an analitic description of totalitarism. The novel talks about a future Ingland which is diveded into 2 sides as always the side where the rich and power full areand, the side where the frightened and poor people are. Unfortunately the end of this novel is devastating.
Really interesting. Bloom's journey seems to be daily stuff. I think Homer's Ulysses is where the plot for the TV animated serie Ulysses 31 was taken. I remember reading that the narrative mode is The Stream of consciousness, the same used in Mrs. Dalloway. Even though, Woolf considered Joyce's Ulysses sort of a trash-paper.
Here is an image in case you don't remember Ulysses 31:
4.Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984. LOL. Incredible, insurgents pigs this is really catchy and funny. The seven commandments are quite interesting. This book was surely a satire to critic to critize the corruption of the sovietic socialism.
There are many cartoon movies about this book, they may be funny to watch.
If you are interested in reading the whole book I found a link to read it online.
2. Mrs. Dalloway was published in 1925, in which Woolf discovered a new literary form capable of expressing the new realities of postwar England. This novel depicts the subjective experiences and memories of its central characters over a single day in post–World War I London that was divided into parts, rather than chapters, the novel's structure highlights the finely interwoven texture of the characters' thoughts.
2. Also there were critics tend to agree that Woolf found her writer’s voice with this novel. At forty-three, she knew her experimental style was unlikely to be a popular success but no longer felt compelled to seek critical praise.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses was based in the framework of James´ novel on the structure of one of the greatest and most influential works in world literature
In addition, Ulysses is a Jew of Hungarian origin, Leopold Bloom, who lives in Dublin, Ireland. His adventure consists of getting breakfast, feeding his cat, going to a funeral, doing legwork for his job, visiting pubs or restaurants, and thinking about his unfaithful wife.
4. Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984. The story takes place on a farm somewhere in England. This story starts when the oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls all animals to a secret meeting. And He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones, which end when the pigs decide to rebuild the mill again and they cut down the food rations to a minimum.
4.1984 I was forgetting about this one. This is an story that takes place in England or as in the book Airstrip One. Very futuristic. Well, the book has a political centered plot. I read that the world presented by Orwell is alike to the current one.
4. so this novel of Animal Farm is a satire of the Russian revolution, and therefore full of symbolism. Generally, Orwell associates certain real characters with the characters of the book.
1. polical struggle happned Because of its massive scale and controversial impetus, monuments to the war often indicate the difficulty of representing it. the polical struggles caused that the Soldiers living in rat-infested and water-saturated trenches fired machine-guns at unseen soldiers in other trenches.
1. Politcal Strugles: Wars are bad, blood is shed and people are killed everywhere but it also produces a bloom of literary works. Many poems, biographies and books can be written about wars, individual narrate their experiences and that helps increase the literary treasure of a country, society, generation etc.
2. Mrs. Dalloway: It presents the realities of live in post war Englad. Though it deals with Mrs. Dalloway's life I'd like to focus on Septimus' Life. He was a young poet with a bright future and a career before the war. After he came back from war we can see that it was damaged him permanently. No matter how patriotic soldiers are, no matter how heroic they are for going to war, people who experience wars are never the same. They have permanent scars in their bodies and souls that prevents them from living a normal life ever again.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses Irish novel divided into 18 chapters, it is very alike with The Odyssey (Homer) and it is center around leopold Bloom, his struggles and problems throughout the day. Personally I was not able to see any connection or similarity between Bloom and Odysseus but I liked it, it was very entertaining.
4.Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 It really cracked me up to read about seven revolutionary pigs. I think it was a a sarcastic way to make fun of the people who started wars during the 20th century.
1. Politcal Strugles: I think that people that through their art whatever that it could be were people intelligent and brilliant because it was a way to criticize something that was wrong and open the society ayes. but also it is a shme that goverments and great dictators like Hitler used it for cruel idiology.
2. Mrs. Dalloway: In this page the author show a very deep analizis of the whole novel, and according what i read about the characters and what the novel talk about this work shows the way that Virginia woolf though about her time and her life. Because show how people always hide her feelings since the fear of what the rest of people will think or say and until today this is the most great fear that everybody have.
The great war brought a lot of changes to the people who were involved in it, it was a time whre things where difficult, putting soldiers to fight in inhuman situations... nothing good comes from war... (samuel)
2 this reading was really good describing the life of clarisa in a typical day, with atipical situations, also the life of septimus the war veteran is really interesting, seeing how he has lost all hope for living, the resolution in clarisas life because of septimus death is an interesting point of view. (samuel)
3 ulisses compared a lot with the novel written by homero the odisei is a really good story which talks about the travel to dublin of leopold, the use of the stream of counciousness technique is one of the things that caught more my attention. (samuel)
4 animal farm talks about the abuses of the goverment of the sovietic union or more especific their totalitarian rule, the book almost looses it chance to see the light because of the naziz, it isnteresting hos T.S elliot gave the idea of animals to the story and to unfold it in that particular way. (samuel)
1. Political Struggles
ReplyDeleteAbout this reading I can say that a horrible event as the war can start a new creative and artistical movement.In this case the great war give the oportunity to diferent artist to write poems about the war and its fatal consequences even new poets werw born during the great war, those new poems were the soldiers of the people that was directly involve in the war.
2. Mrs. Dalloway on Sparknotes.
ReplyDeleteA great book of virginia woolf. In this book virginia shows one day of the life of a woman named clarissa.The writer place te story one day after the world war I.Besides that it show us how the wars affects peoples life and the social stability of the implicated countries
3. James Joyce: Ulysses

It is consider the most importat english book.

The way that the writer represent the people as animals is quite interesting because was an innovating way to represent the people(doers and victims)that was involve in that historiacal event.
That books can be compare in some way with the pink floyd album Animals, in which the band represents the people of each social status as animals.By the way great band and a very good album.

In this war occure many crimes as genocide and ethnic cleasing of the ottoman's Empies Christian population.
2. Mrs. Dalloway on Sparknotes.
ReplyDeleteSomething I found interesting about this book is the narrative mode in which presents the characters' thoughts. The Stream of consciousness, widely use nowadays by many writers. I read that the term was introduced to literature from psychology, and "coined" by the philosopher and psychologist William James.
Something else that called my attention was the fact that Woolf had lost many of her relatives. I actually don't remember who once said: "To be a writer, you need to have a suffered soul."

4.Orwell's Animal Farm
ReplyDeletethis novel narates how the animals in Orwel farm revolt mister Orwel to take it and rename it as Animal Farm.
Something funny about this novel is that the pigs are compared whit the politicias and the goverment were transformed in order to beneffit them. I know that Orwell nwrote it reffering to th epoliticians at that time but i think that it can be aplied nowadays too in many countries ans el Salvador isn't te exeption.

ReplyDeleteOrwell's 1984
ReplyDeleteIs an analitic description of totalitarism. The novel talks about a future Ingland which is diveded into 2 sides as always the side where the rich and power full areand, the side where the frightened and poor people are.
Unfortunately the end of this novel is devastating.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses
ReplyDeleteReally interesting. Bloom's journey seems to be daily stuff. I think Homer's Ulysses is where the plot for the TV animated serie Ulysses 31 was taken. I remember reading that the narrative mode is The Stream of consciousness, the same used in Mrs. Dalloway. Even though, Woolf considered Joyce's Ulysses sort of a trash-paper.
Here is an image in case you don't remember Ulysses 31:

4.Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Incredible, insurgents pigs this is really catchy and funny. The seven commandments are quite interesting. This book was surely a satire to critic to critize the corruption of the sovietic socialism.
There are many cartoon movies about this book, they may be funny to watch.
If you are interested in reading the whole book I found a link to read it online.
Read the complete book here!!!
Thanks Gerson! I was planing to read it. XD
ReplyDelete2. Mrs. Dalloway was published in 1925, in which Woolf discovered a new literary form capable of expressing the new realities of postwar England.
ReplyDeleteThis novel depicts the subjective experiences and memories of its central characters over a single day in post–World War I London that was divided into parts, rather than chapters, the novel's structure highlights the finely interwoven texture of the characters' thoughts.
2. Also there were critics tend to agree that Woolf found her writer’s voice with this novel.
ReplyDeleteAt forty-three, she knew her experimental style was unlikely to be a popular success but no longer felt compelled to seek critical praise.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses was based in the framework of James´ novel on the structure of one of the greatest and most influential works in world literature
ReplyDeleteIn addition, Ulysses is a Jew of Hungarian origin, Leopold Bloom, who lives in Dublin, Ireland. His adventure consists of getting breakfast, feeding his cat, going to a funeral, doing legwork for his job, visiting pubs or restaurants, and thinking about his unfaithful wife.
4. Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984. The story takes place on a farm somewhere in England. This story starts when the oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls all animals to a secret meeting. And He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones, which end when the pigs decide to rebuild the mill again and they cut down the food rations to a minimum.
ReplyDelete4.1984
ReplyDeleteI was forgetting about this one.
This is an story that takes place in England or as in the book Airstrip One. Very futuristic. Well, the book has a political centered plot. I read that the world presented by Orwell is alike to the current one.
4. so this novel of Animal Farm is a satire of the Russian revolution, and therefore full of symbolism.
ReplyDeleteGenerally, Orwell associates certain real characters with the characters of the book.
1. polical struggle happned Because of its massive scale and controversial impetus, monuments to the war often indicate the difficulty of representing it.
ReplyDeletethe polical struggles caused that the Soldiers living in rat-infested and water-saturated trenches fired machine-guns at unseen soldiers in other trenches.
1. Politcal Strugles:
ReplyDeleteWars are bad, blood is shed and people are killed everywhere but it also produces a bloom of literary works. Many poems, biographies and books can be written about wars, individual narrate their experiences and that helps increase the literary treasure of a country, society, generation etc.
2. Mrs. Dalloway:
ReplyDeleteIt presents the realities of live in post war Englad. Though it deals with Mrs. Dalloway's life I'd like to focus on Septimus' Life. He was a young poet with a bright future and a career before the war. After he came back from war we can see that it was damaged him permanently. No matter how patriotic soldiers are, no matter how heroic they are for going to war, people who experience wars are never the same. They have permanent scars in their bodies and souls that prevents them from living a normal life ever again.
3. James Joyce: Ulysses
ReplyDeleteIrish novel divided into 18 chapters, it is very alike with The Odyssey (Homer) and it is center around leopold Bloom, his struggles and problems throughout the day. Personally I was not able to see any connection or similarity between Bloom and Odysseus but I liked it, it was very entertaining.
4.Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984
ReplyDeleteIt really cracked me up to read about seven revolutionary pigs. I think it was a a sarcastic way to make fun of the people who started wars during the 20th century.
1. Politcal Strugles:
ReplyDeleteI think that people that through their art whatever that it could be were people intelligent and brilliant because it was a way to criticize something that was wrong and open the society ayes. but also it is a shme that goverments and great dictators like Hitler used it for cruel idiology.
2. Mrs. Dalloway:
ReplyDeleteIn this page the author show a very deep analizis of the whole novel, and according what i read about the characters and what the novel talk about this work shows the way that Virginia woolf though about her time and her life. Because show how people always hide her feelings since the fear of what the rest of people will think or say and until today this is the most great fear that everybody have.
The great war brought a lot of changes to the people who were involved in it, it was a time whre things where difficult, putting soldiers to fight in inhuman situations... nothing good comes from war... (samuel)
ReplyDelete2 this reading was really good describing the life of clarisa in a typical day, with atipical situations, also the life of septimus the war veteran is really interesting, seeing how he has lost all hope for living, the resolution in clarisas life because of septimus death is an interesting point of view. (samuel)
ReplyDelete3 ulisses compared a lot with the novel written by homero the odisei is a really good story which talks about the travel to dublin of leopold, the use of the stream of counciousness technique is one of the things that caught more my attention. (samuel)
ReplyDelete4 animal farm talks about the abuses of the goverment of the sovietic union or more especific their totalitarian rule, the book almost looses it chance to see the light because of the naziz, it isnteresting hos T.S elliot gave the idea of animals to the story and to unfold it in that particular way. (samuel)
