Series of 6 essays created through 2 lectures. In essays or lectures, use the term speaker to discuss the central persona, not narrator. The opening is strategic: it dislodges authority: she attempts to empower her listeners to decide for themselves what they think the. Truth is: generalizes her own position - call me mary beton, mary seton, mary carmichael or by any name you please (6-7) The argument: a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write. States outright that her lecture will not contain a conclusion - acknowledges the issue of bias - any argument is something put forward but the not the for sure truth.
