"Virginia Woolf does not seek to imitate form, but to create form; not to imitate life, but to find an equivalent for life". Discuss in relation to 'The Window' in 'To the Lighthouse'

The stream of consciousness style she adopts in 'To the Lighthouse' allows Woolf to explore the nature of individual perception in relationship to collective understanding. In effect, by giving her characters the chance to express themselves freely, paying extreme attention to detail of everything they feel, observe and do, Woolf finds an equivalent for life. Her belief that VIEW DOCUMENT

2154 words - 9 pages talk about the major differences in culture they experience at their firms compared to the other British based companies which they have worked for. One example I was given, was holidays. It appears that several American companies in Britain still give their employees a 'thanksgiving' holiday, even though that particular holiday is not recognised in this country. The American's who work for the company apparently expect this holiday to be given, while the Brits (although grateful for an extra day off work) cannot really understand why they get it. By giving employees this holiday, it puts the firm in a slightly awkward position - many of their rivals will still be working on Thanksgiving VIEW DOCUMENT

547 words - 2 pages Actions by people whether prompted by God or not, should be tried in the governmental justice system which is much less prone to corruption than ambiguous divine law. After reading about the Christos Valenti case, it is clear that the justice system, not one derived from God and religious views, is what we should use to try our criminals and exceptions as far as the divine law is concerned, should not exist. Having a law system inspired by religion is simply asking for corruption and is clearly not as just as the current justice system in the United States.If we take into account what this seemingly good, innocent man did and make an exception for him there will be an outlet for all other VIEW DOCUMENT
