Virginia Woolf
As a child in Cornwall, England, Virginia Woolf had some irreversible fishing experiences that have influenced her life. In this excerpt, Woolf's language obviously conveys the significance of those moments. Woolf uses her language in her first had experiences, her father's impression, and at the end of the passage to help enhance these lasting moments. Woolf blatantly states "how can I convey the excitement" (15-16) of fishing. Immediately after, she describes "there was a little leaping tug [...] up through the water at length came the white twisting fish" (16-17). While Woolf doesn't use vivid adjectives to tell of her experiences, what she remembers is enough to signal the reader of her "excitement" for fishing. Further than that, you might sat that just a
At this point, Woolf tries to refute the "extinguishing" words of her father, and her language notes a change too. As I just mentioned, Woolf has not forgotten her past,. I think Woolf's personal account of the fishing trip proves that it was a significant enough event to remember specific details. She now focuses on her thoughts, and really expresses no personal opinion except to say that her "passion for the thrill" (28) was "slowly extinguished" (30). The "invaluable seed" is her experience fishing. And that on the same trip, Woolf wants you to realize that she realized the value of her experience. s Woolf caught that fish her interest in fishing took a "leap" (16) and came "up through the water" (17-18). In fact, "the memory of [her] passion" enables her "to construct an idea of the sporting passion". " His calmly and "simply" (26) stated feelings sunk right into her heart. Woolf takes the opportunity in this passage to convey her childhood experiences fishing. For the first time Woolf relates her experience to something outside of the,. Her father doesn't "like to see fish caught" (24). I believe Woolf meant to calm her writing down to portray that she was calming down. Not that she really wants to go back to that time, but that she realizes the priceless worth of the experiences and she wonders what would have happened. She knows she cannot have a life of fishing, but in these last sentences she changes her thoughts and language to portray to the reader that the question remains, for her, what if I was a fisher.
