Mrs. Dalloway: Novel
There’s something important to note from the beginning of this  novel and it is the title. By naming the title “Mrs. Dalloway” you  wonder the question of who Mr. Dalloway is. Well, he’s a politician in  Britain and because of who he is, it determines a lot about who she is.  Mrs. Dalloway’s narration is third-person omniscient. The beginning and  ending focus on Clarissa and a specific day in her life. She wants to  throw a party, but certain things seem to be dampening her mood and  potentially the party too. 
The first form of symbolism is when she says “For it was the  middle of June. The war was over, except for some one like Mrs. Foxcroft  at the Embassy last night eating her heart out because that nice boy  was killed.” It explains that this all was happening in a time period  shortly after the war. Things were somewhat getting better, but the war  had left a lot of scars for people like Mrs. Foxcroft who lost a loved  one. The loss of life during the war was massive and everyone at least  knew someone who had experienced loss. Mrs. Dalloway was doing her best  to make it seem like life was going okay, but you could tell there were  signs of depression in her life by some of the struggles she faced in  her mind.
Notice by page 18 when the plane is flying through the sky and  Septimus looks up to see it. The plane was advertising a brand of  Toffee. Septimus seemed to be amazed by it, but he also seemed to show  some trouble in his mind. It turned out that Septimus had a form of PTSD  though it wasn’t officially called that. He served in the war and I  imagine those planes flying over were beautiful, but also somewhat  traumatic. Knowing the history of the first World War, planes were  introduced during that time. For the first time ever, planes were flying  over cities and bombing them. So many left the war with those kinds of  mental issues. Rezia seemed to have a hard time dealing with Septimus as  it says in the text “for she could stand it no longer. Dr. Holmes might  say there was nothing the matter. Far rather would she that he were  dead”. Clearly, it was difficult to be around Septimus at times. But for  someone with PTSD, the sounds of airplanes and even the cars backfiring  that sounded like a pistol, it would send anyone struggling with those  issues into a frenzy. Looking at the history of Woolf’s novels, there’s a  pattern of mentioning mental illness. I’d imagine this was something  very important to Woolf. So her way of bringing awareness to this  illness was by including it in her novels. Virginia Woolfe seemed to  want to portray how people were coping in a post-war society. 
During this novel, you jump in and out of the minds of all the  main characters such as Clarissa, Lucrezia, Peter, Septimus, and so on.  You don’t have one narrator telling the whole story. Instead, you get to  hear many different perspectives. With the whole novel taking place in  the time span of one day and by telling the thoughts of so many on that  day, it allows you to get a full picture of all that was happening  during the day leading up to the end. The transitions from one character  to another can be kind of tricky to notice at first. You have to pay  attention while reading. You’ll notice there’s a lot of people watching  in this novel. Take Mrs. Dempster for example. On page 21 the text says  “That girl, thought Mrs. Dempster, don’t know a thing yet: and it seemed  to her better to be a little stout, a little slack, a little moderate  in one’s expectation.” With all the people watching, it seems to set the  tone for the day. There seems to be an uneasy feeling as you imagine  them just sitting on a bench, enjoying the weather while making comments  about others passing by.
The imagery that is used in this novel grabs your attention if  you can keep up with what’s going on. This one line on page 130 saying  “his wintry charm without cordiality: his innocence blent with snobbery”  gives you a glimpse of how Woolfe liked to use imagery. It allowed for  you to envision who this person was and what they were like. This novel  does also bring light to depression issues as you can tell when Clarissa  finds out that Septimus had passed. Maybe Clarissa was relieved that  Septimus had escaped such a harsh reality. But it is never a good thing  when someone sees death as the way to escape the realities of this life.  Septimus seemed to be the one who dealt with all that was wrong in  society. He seemed to be drug down in it and didn’t try to hide it.  Clarissa on the other hand tried to hide all the pain she was feeling by  living up to superficial expectations and making things seem like they  were perfect when they weren’t. The best example of that is Clarissa  throwing this huge party and not wanting Septimus’ death to put a damper  on things. Clarissa wanted to live in another reality to escape what  she was dealing with on the inside. I believe Woolfe wanted to bring  awareness to depression with this novel as well. By showing two types of  depression, you get a glimpse of how two lives that look different on  the outside, don’t mean one is happier than the other. The issues people  deal with on the inside are deep and can drag anyone down.
1. Why do you think Woolfe used different characters to narrate the novel
2. Was there any other imagery you found helpful to picture what was happening in the novel?

This meant many opportunities for the Mexicans which became very important to California’s economy. After 1822 California had many immigrants that followed Jedediah Smith which made the first recorded crossing in the Sierra Nevada. They eventually received land grants in Sacramento Valley which made many new immigrants settle there. The significance of the Hispanic heritage and culture in California is many Hispanics traveled from far just to settle down in California and start a series of presidios and missions. These missions allowed Hispanics to have a place to stay before they gained Mexican independence. Many of the California missions were labored by American Indians, these American Indians were forced by the Hispanics to work for these missions. Selby, W. A. (2006). Rediscovering the Golden State: California geography. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley.5-Describe internal population migration within California. Where are they going and why?Internal migration is human migration across the country. Internal migration is typically travel for education or travel for economic purposes. Many people have migrated to California, many immigrants come from all over to further their education here in California. According to CNBC, California’s growth rate at record low as more people leave, states “ California became a state in 1850 after a gold rush spurred a massive migration of people moving west to seek their fortune. The state boomed again following World War II because of the aerospace and defense industry, and again in the 1980’s and early 1990’s as technology companies made Silicon Valley a household name” This means many people migrated to California to start a life from finding fortune during the Gold rush years. Many people are moving to California as it is one of the most populated states, but also many people are leaving California due to taxes, and laws here in California. California’s growth rate is at record low as more people leave. (2020, December 17). Retrieved from https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/californias-growth-rate-at-record-low-as-more-people-leave.html (Links to an external site.)9-According to SCAG, six southern California counties are expected to have a 43% increase in population from 1995 to 2020. The greatest percentage of this increase is expected to occur in the High Desert and Inland Empire Communities. What steps do YOU think should be taken now to prevent further congestion of our roadways and degradation of our environment?I think the steps that should be taken to prevent congestion of our roadways and degradation of our environment is creating a better infrastructure for our roadways. Infrastructure is basic physical structures to keep our cities and countries organized. If California can create better roadways for people to be safe and keep less traffic, it would be safe for people and become less busy. A way to keep our environment from degradation is by maintaining and infrastructure with keeping our original landscapes. By doing this we would have more roadways and keep our original features to keep our environment clean, while being safe. If we can keep a clean original landscape it will allow us to have a high quality life, living with an aesthetic environment keeps people happy and enhancing our sense of being. Keeping our environment clean is also important in California because it is very polluted here, if we can keep our environment clean it will keep our air healthy, and allow for more plants to bloom which will also allow us to be healthy. 10-California s population is expected to double by 2010. Identify what can be done to ensure that all its inhabitants receive clean, sufficient supplies of water for agriculture and drinking?California’s population has increased suddenly over the years meaning more residents in California. Some ways we can ensure that our water supply stays clean for our environment and for drinking is by implementing rainwater harvesting systems, this will allow us to harvest and create more water so California does not go into another drought. Another way is to make sure water goes into clean sewers, this will allow people to create drinking water and if California can keep it clean it will make it safe for humans to drink once it is processed in water. According to Circle Blue in the article where water speaks they state “ Educate to change consumption and lifestylesIn the end, changing the face of this crisis involves education to motivate new behaviors.” By educating the public it may be able to help people in California to conserve water. By saving water it may be able to help us from a crisis in the future. Many other countries are facing crises with freshwater, if people are educated on what may happen it may be able to save us in the future.

Religious Freedom Laws
Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, legal same-sex marriage is the law of the land.
Many people are still unhappy about the decision and some fear that in complying with the law they will be forced to violate their sincere religious beliefs. You’ve no doubt heard of cases in which, for example, courts have held that refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple is unconstitutional discrimination. This case was heard by the Supreme Court in December 2017, but the decision has not been announced as of the time I’m typing this.
In one highly-publicized case from 2013, a photographer was held to have discriminated because she refused to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony. In this case, the New Mexico Supreme Court held that the photographer had discriminated, in violation of state law, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the decision.
Since the Obergefell decision there have been well-publicized cases in which government officials who issue marriage licenses have cited religious reasons for not granting licenses to same-sex couples. Here is one example. Or here.
A fact that many have missed about the bakery or photography cases is that these cases are not about federal law, and are in fact unrelated to the question of whether same-sex marriage is or is not legal. These cases are based on state laws adopted by state legislatures that establish sexual orientation as a protected class. So in those states it’s illegal to discriminate against same-sex couples just as it’s illegal to discriminate against African-Americans or women or disabled persons. In Texas it’s not illegal to discriminate against same-sex couples because sexual orientation has not been added to the list of those protected from discrimination. So a Texas bakery can refuse service to a same-sex couple with impunity.
Texas also is challenging (and here and here) government-subsidized benefits for married same-sex couples. Texas’s argument is that the Obergefell decision mandated that the state perform same-sex marriages but did not explicitly mandate that states offer the same benefits to married same-sex couples that are offered to married opposite-sex couples. Texas officials (the governor, lt. governor and attorney general) believe that discriminating — treating same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples — should be the state’s choice.
Federal legislation has been introduced that, if passed, would among other things expand the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sexual orientation among federally-protected classes. Here is a description (from the “liberal” web site thinkprogress.org) of what this legislation would do. No one realistically expects it to pass, though
The basic anti-discrimination principle in the Civil Rights Act is that “public accommodations” (such as restaurants, theaters, hotels, etc.) cannot discriminate against members of protected classes of people. A restaurant, for example, cannot refuse to serve African-Americans or women, even if they have a sincerely held belief that African-Americans or women are undesirable. Some people’s sincerely held religious beliefs long included the belief that African-Americans were cursed by God (the biblical “mark of Cain”) and thus discrimination against them is ordained, or at least approved of, by God. That belief was an important element of the supreme court case Newman v. Piggie Park (1968). If someone’s sincere religious belief mandates that they discriminate against African-Americans and courts have said that’s not OK, should sincere religious beliefs be the basis for discrimination against other groups of people, like homosexuals? [From the Piggie Park decision:  “The free exercise of one’s beliefs, as distinguished from the absolute right to a belief, is subject to regulation when religious acts require accommodation to a society. Undoubtedly, [the restaurant owner] has a constitutional right to espouse the religious beliefs of his own choosing; however, he does not have the absolute right to exercise and practice such beliefs in utter disregard of the clear constitutional rights of other citizens.”Remember, we’re talking about laws that have to apply to everyone. No particular set of religious beliefs can bind everyone else, as we separate church and state in America.
Anti-discrimination laws generally have exemptions for religious institutions. So churches may refuse to host gay weddings if they choose. For-profit wedding chapels are not similarly protected (here’s one story from a conservative perspective and a liberal perspective) as they are generally considered to be public accommodations.
Some have asserted that the logic of forcing a baker who objects on religious grounds to baking a wedding cake for a gay marriage is the same as forcing an African-American baker to bake a cake for a KKK wedding or a Jew to bake a cake for a Nazi wedding. That’s not actually an accurate analogy. The KKK is not a protected class, because adhering to a political philosophy is not an immutable characteristic of a person. Neither is the Nazi party. Any baker, black or white, can therefore refuse to bake a cake for a KKK wedding, or any Jew for a Nazi wedding, without being accused of legal discrimination.
So, what do you think? Should any business owner, or even any government official, be empowered to deny service to same-sex couples on the basis of their sincerely-held religious beliefs?
