STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS –
tracing non-linear thought processes, moving by “the
logic of association” or “the logic of the
unconscious”;
Point of view: rejection of the single, authoritative,
omniscient point of view for a narrative focalized
instead on the consciousness of characters whose
point of view is limited--or through characters who
establish relative, multiple points of view--or through
a shifting & plastic narrating consciousness that
moves in & out of different characters' views

6. People
work as scenery and the garden is the
main character;
The story is around the garden point of view;
“they walked on the past flower-bed, not
walking four abreaast, and soon diminished in
size among the trees and looked half
transparent as the sunlight and shade swam
over their backs in large trembling irregular
patches” (WOOLF, p. 41)
7. Slice
“in
of conversation;
the middle of the life in the garden, it
seems that the narrator opens a
parentheses to show how humans can be”.
[SSF]
8. The
narrator gives life to the garden
through the detailed description:
“From
the oval-shaped flower-bed there
rose perhaps a hundred stalks spreading
into heart-shaped or tongue-shaped leaves
half way up and unfurling at the tip red or
yellow petals marked with spots of colour
raised upon the surface” (WOOLF, p. 39)
9. Reader’s
“In
comprehension;
the end, the narrator tells that life keeps
in this way, nothing changed. It’s still hot
because of the summer time, the colors of
the flowers and the personal conflicts
between people, the snail worries, etc.”
