Rewrite, or "translate," a large paragraph from Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own.
Instead of writing in the same style as Woolf, however, use formal, conventional
language. You must not, however, change the original meaning. Finally, write a few
sentences about the differences between your "translation and the original Woolf
passage.
The point of this assignment is to show what's lost and gained by using more
conventional language, not to show that conventional writing is better.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
• A complete rewrite of a large paragraph from chapter 3 of Virginia Woolf's A
Room of One's Own in your own words
.
A style and tone that are significantly more conventional, formal, and objective
• A short paragraph that explains the major differences between Woolf's original
paragraph and your rewritten paragraph
