Select one of the following questions; write at least 15 sentences; cite two relevant sources: articles searched through Google Scholar or JSTOR, class lecture, and Supplementary Notes. Address all aspects of the question selected:
Analyze V. Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" or "A Lady in the Looking Glass: A Reflection" as a representative story of the psychological fiction, particularly stream-of -consciousness technique.
Discuss the narrative style, the development of the plot, and characterization. What is the appeal of the story in which "nothing happens"?

Discuss two of these various interpretive possibilities. Can you suggest any other possibilities of interpretation? Explain briefly.
