The Gender Differences: on Virginia Woolf’s Orlando
When RIP project was assigned to class, I soon decided to write a book review, because I personally like to find interesting books and seek to realize different perspectives on a book by reading book review. Orlando: A Biography is the novel that I have read in writing 39B class this quarter, it leaves me a deep impression. Because gender has always been a topic that people generally care about, I decided to write a book review of Orlando: A Biography. A book review is an analytical evaluation of a book, it enables me to give my audience the concise contents of the book, provides a critical assessment and suggests to them whether the audience to appreciate this book. In the beginning, it was difficult for me to determine the structure of book review before I write. I often struggled with how to combine my message, purpose, and information into one completed book review. However, professor Wells provides various book review websites about genre examples, like The Los Angeles Book Review of Books and London Review of Books. The format of book review from those websites help me a lot and define my project advance direction.
The message that I am trying to delivery to the audience is that gender did not influence ones identity, but societal pressure did. The purpose of this book review is not only to tell the audience that Orlando: A Biography is a book worth reading, but also to let them to develop a new perspective on differences of gender. I want to express that how well Virginia Woolf explored the significance of gender. Gender is a concept that we imposed on ourselves, it restricts us to become ourselves. People should give each individual equivalent freedom and let them be themselves based on the nature rather than gender. I also hope my readers can share this idea in order to let more people know and cause the widespread concern. People and the society should have a brand-new idea of gender differences and show generosity to the gender neutrality.
My book review does aim to appeal to people who feel interested in dealing with gender topics or confused about gender differences and gender inequality, or readers who are interested in historical context about the female in the 20th century. I believe that they are willing to read my book view, since Orlando: A Biography has lots of descriptions of gender differences and is considered as a feminist classic in the literary world. Furthermore, I utilize various genre conventions, such as provided context, tone, style to strengthen my book review. Novice audience is one of the types of audiences that I want to reach. Since novice audience is not familiar with background information, I provide related contexts like personal information of author Virginia Woolf and the historical background of the 20th century. To be more specific, I list the literary achievements of Woolf and the female role in the Victorian era to support my book review. Determination of tone is one of the most important steps for my book review. An appropriate tone not only conveys the message very effectively but also particularly influences how the audience realizes the message which I am conveying. Based on the contents that I want to show the audience, the formal tone is the best tone to use in my book review. Formal tone enables me to build respect for respect and express my serious attitude about topic. My intended audience includes informed, but the skeptical audience and hostile audience, so formal tone enable me to improve ethos so that eventually the audiences have the same view with me.
I emulate my book review with a book review entitled The Meaning of Isolation: On María Sonia Cristoffs Include Me Out written by Joel Pinckney (Joel, 2020). The author Joel Pinckney is presently promotions assistant at University of Texas Press, he usually appears at The Millions, Paris Review Daily, and The Los Angeles Review of Books. According to the above background and experiences of Joel, I can ensure that this is a trustworthy source that I can use. The reason why I choose this article is that I like its structure. At the beginning of the reading, Joel provides the main theme and gives a concise summary of the book. In the body paragraph, Joel analyze the work by comparing Include Me Out with secondary source, a book entitled False Calm and states that both two books are exploring what is isolation, why causes the isolation, and the effects that isolation has bearing on one individual. Finally, Joel gives the audience his evaluation of the book. Joels book review makes me understand the elements, style, tone, and language of book review. Besides, I read a book review entitled Book Of A Lifetime: A Room of One’s Own, By Virginia Woolf by Helen Simpson that published in The Independent. The independent is a British published that was established in 1986 and Helen Simpson is a famous British short story writer. In her book review, she explored A Room of One’s Own which also written by Virginia Woolf. In the book, Woolf states that female writers need the private space and uninterrupted time. Helen links Woolfs message with her own experiences to evoke responses from the audience.
In general, I take pride in my work. Before that, I am not familiar to this project and it is not a straightforward task for me. I searched lots of resources on the internet and overcome the language difficulties to finish it. Admittedly, there are still some shortcomings on my work. For instance, some audience may feel that the summary of the content is not concise enough and my assessment of the content needs improvements. In the future, I will continue to enhance the quality of writing.
