Dalloway

While I realize we have already created an initial draft for this paper, I thought it would be a good idea to post on the blog.  For my essay I plan to analyze the passage on pages 8-9, in which Clarissa "remembers throwing a schilling into the serpentine."  Within this passage, we find many different references to different themes present throughout the book, the biggest of which being the mention of trees.  This is going to be the basis of my essay; I plan to explain how trees represent the vast reaches of the human soul.  By extension, I will be able to discuss feelings on life of Clarissa and Septimus, which will allow me to extend into many other topics.  In this passage we also find some mention of time.  Time is present in many different ways through the book, and I believe that it would be good to elaborate on the significance of time.
