Comments by Shannon Jones Most recent public comments by Shannon Jones https://nowcomment.com/users/11341 In the previous paragraph it is mentioned "what had gone before quickly disappeared" however, this house exists in present day and is a sort of relic of Sontag's childhood. It hasn't disappeared. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25280?scroll_to=287664 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25280?scroll_to=287664 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:03 -0500 Discovering the house was the metaphorical "doorstep." https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=283395 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=283395 It was a pivotal moment when Sylvia believed she found her "dream home." Her decision to move in to "destiny's house" sealed her fate. This device was used to foreshadow Sylvia's end. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:55 -0500 Aurelia is dropped into the narrative relative to the protagonist and the action unfolding. There is an almost cinematic, over-the-shoulder quality of the description of what this character is witnessing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=283392 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=283392 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:55 -0500 The chronology aids in understanding the passage of time, and the order of events that affected her outlook. The connections that lead to Sylvia's decline and her eventual decision to end her life are presented over the last year of her life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=283343 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=283343 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:49 -0500 I would say this is a mixed review. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275416 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275416 It seems the reviewer found the book an interesting and engaging read. He or she selected interesting excerpts and points to discuss however, the reviewer also expresses concern over the accuracy of the biographical account. Pointing out the author's "obsessive quality." Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:50 -0500 The language seems to be connected to the previous paragraphs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275412 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275412 It seems like the statement made by the biographer is in reference to the short diary Eva kept. Perhaps these conclusions were drawn from Lambert's writings or secondary accounts mentioned in paragraph 7. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:50 -0500 I agree with Julia. Pankhurst held very traditional ideals and yet, fought for a cause that challenged the status quo. Political groups are often polarized however, Pankhurst did blur these lines. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=267736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=267736 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:43 -0500 It is almost as if the quotation shows Emmeline as a protestor with reserved and peaceful tactics while this paragraph almost contradicts this image. She did her share of destructive rabble rousing like smashing shop windows and slashing paintings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=267561 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=267561 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:43 -0500
