Chelsea’s Annotated Bibliography
Never Let Me Go by: Kazuo Ishiguro Introduction Up until this semester I thought I enjoyed reading everything. No one has ever asked me what I like to read or questioned me on what type of books I like to read. I have never thought about all the different genres. In the past I have… Continue reading Chelsea’s Annotated Bibliography
Heather’s Annotated Bibliography
To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf Introduction I like to think of myself as a very avid reader.

Rachel’s Annotated Bibliography
Introduction I have always gone through phases of enjoying reading and not enjoying it. When I was in middle school I loved to read. At that time, I was reading for fun.

“For Nothing Was Simply One Thing:” Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse
“So that was the Lighthouse, was it? No, the other was also the Lighthouse. For nothing was simply one thing” (Woolf 186). Virginia Woolf’s novel To The Lighthouse may tell the story of a family longing to visit a lighthouse in Skye, Scotland, but more than that, Woolf has illustrated the complexities of the individual… Continue reading “For Nothing Was Simply One Thing:” Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse
Blog 3: Live Like You Are Dying
(Silverman 270-283). To The Lighthouse for me was a difficult read. What could have been combined into one sentence was a whole lot of vivid detail. Sometimes a text would be a paragraph long and I had to reread it three or four times to understand the language. I don’t want to say the story… Continue reading Blog 3: Live Like You Are Dying
Blog 2: The Inevitable

The main thing that Woolfe seemed to focus on when writing this novel was hidden meanings. It… Continue reading Blog 2: The Inevitable
Blog 1: Mortality of a Husband and Wife
To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf is a very different book than what I would typically read. I had chosen it after looking up the covers of different books, and the cover page seemed mysterious and had the ability to be polar opposites. At one glance, it seemed like it could be a dark and… Continue reading Blog 1: Mortality of a Husband and Wife
Blog 4: Do Looks Make You Beautiful?
Does the portrait represent that beauty is everything? Basil fell in love with how his painting of Dorian turned out. I know some attractive people who are wicked and ugly on the inside just like Dorian. Did the narrator make it a point to show that just because you are good looking does not mean… Continue reading Blog 4: Do Looks Make You Beautiful?
Blog 3: An Exceptional Man
As I started reading Oscar Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, I noticed something that seemed quite familiar to me. I noticed that the character of Dorian Gray had many similarities to Jay Gatsby from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. The two characters seem to be quite similar with many similar things… Continue reading Blog 3: An Exceptional Man
