1. An excerpt from A Room of One's Own: Reread the explanation of the title's multiple meanings. Do your thesis authors create rich titles like this one?
2. Strong Argument: What is Woolf arguing in this excerpt? What rhetorical devices* (e.g., rhetorical questions, irony, sentence structure, alliteration, etc.) does Woolf use and to what effect?
3. Connection: Read Atwood's "Spelling" and make a connection to the excerpt.

HW: Identify the section of your draft that needs the most work.

*Some examples include:
 Rhetorical Question: “How, then, could it have been born among women … by all the power of law and custom?”
 Irony: “It is unthinkable that any woman in Shakespeare’s day should have had Shakespeare’s genius.”  Sentence structure, listing: “For genius like Shakespeare’s is not born among labouring, uneducated, servile people.”
 Alliteration: “Bronte or Burns blazes…proves its presence.”
