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 wordsA style and tone that are significantly more conventional, formal, and objectiveA short paragraph that explains the major differences between Woolf's original paragraph and your rewritten paragraphYou should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete the activity now.Ask yourself these questions as you revise: Is the paragraph I selected one of Woolf's larger ones? Is it paragraph 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, or 14?Do I show a thorough understanding of Woolf's message? Do I leave her meaning intact when I rewrite her paragraph?Does my short, original paragraph offer real insight into the difference between my rewrite and Woolf's original text?Is my rewrite significantly more formal, objective, and conventional than Woolf's writing? Does it avoid many of the features of Woolf's writing that reveal her personality and voice? Is it written using my own words?Do I consult style guides to deepen my understanding of language rules and conventions?Use this rubric to determine how well you're meeting the criteria for the assignment.

In this article, Gloria Anzaldua discusses the social consequences of language. She argues that language can be a tool for resisting oppression for some groups, or can also be a tool for marginalizing and oppressing certain groups. Choose a quotation that speaks to one of these ideas. How does your quote illustrate the power of language? Then, explain how your chosen quotation might relate to your own life or your own experience.Watch the Ted talk at the link below:
