      "Strolling through those colleges past those ancient halls the roughness of the present seemed smoothed away; the body seemed contained in a miraculous glass cabinet through which no sound could penetrate, and the mind, freed from any contact with facts (unless one trespassed on the turf again), was at liberty to settle down upon whatever meditation was in harmony with the moment. "

      The great opinions of colleges/leading opinions were mainly formed by mood, fancy, and feeling at that particular moment, and not fact, which is by definition more accurate

      "Perhaps now it would be better to give up seeking for the truth, and receiving on one's head an avalanche of opinion as hot as lava, discolored as dish-water."

      Virginia is using "an avalanche of opinion" to describe the amount of opnions about women, which she says "are as discolored as dishwater": murky and false

      Virginia Woolf uses figurative language in A Room Of One's Own in order to urge society to provide equal opportunities for women.

      Thesis. Interesting because it poses the idea that virginia is urging equal rights for women. My belief was that she was providing analytic evidence for why that was not the case (Virginia showed the problem, and not much of the solution)

      More numerous of Windows—Superior—for Doors—

      The story is about writers. The reference to prose (dull writing) is contradicted by a house with more windows (possibilties) and more doors (ways to get to possibilities). The rest is a description of the first stanza.

      The Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind.

      Truth is something that is effective, dazzling even, when used correctly. Once one is a witness to lightning, then one can explain to the child its real intentions. But, tell them too soon, and the true effect of the truth is gone.

      The only secret people keepIs Immortality.

      The story is about how humans are destined to die. The 1st stanza is about a sleeping giant that may wipe us out. The second stanza is about how human nature will end when no one can hear the stories. This final stanza sounds like a sad afterthought, "If only we had immortality..."

      He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights.

      They've been traveling a lot for this thing they are trying to do. I also think that they're sick of each other

      ‘And we could have all this,’ she said. ‘And we could have everything and every day we make it more impossible.’

      They're plaaning on doing something that makes them rich. They're relatioship feels false

      ‘And if I do it you’ll be happy and things will be like they were and you’ll love me?’‘I love you now. You know I love you.’‘I know. But if I do it, then it will be nice again if I say things are like white elephants, and you’ll like it?’‘I’ll love it. I love it now but I just can’t think about it. You know how I get when I worry.

      They're relationship is suffereing because the man says he's worried, and neglects her, and she feels neglected.

      ‘It’s really an awfully simple operation, Jig,’ the man said. ‘It’s not really an operation at all.’The girl looked at the ground the table legs rested on.‘I know you wouldn’t mind it, Jig. It’s really not anything. It’s just to let the air in.’The girl did not say anything.‘I’ll go with you and I’ll stay with you all the time. They just let the air in and then it’s all perfectly natural.’‘Then what will we do afterwards?’‘We’ll be fine afterwards. Just like we were before.’‘What makes you think so?’‘That’s the only thing that bothers us. It’s the only thing that’s made us unhappy.’

      They're here to make something go away, something that makes them unhappy. Also the girl's name is Jig, or nickname
