'small' essay outline.

tree-ree-ree;
The novel ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ highlights the different angles of impressionism through; the way the characters see each other, the way the reader feels about said characters, and the general presentation of the book itself.
r#1/ The way the characters see each other.
e1 - relaying how each character views the other characters around them, based only on their take on what that specific character does, says, and through assuming, feels [whether those are really that characters true feelings/intent] and contrasting that to what thecharacter might be thinking/narratingabout the same points andhow they differ.
e2 - relating how past interactions and experiences have influenced the characters feel towards another, based solely on what was felt then, without a chance to change those impressions with present acts. *using Peter + Clarissa//Sally + Peter//quotes.
r#2/ The way the reader feels about the characters.
e1 - showing how each reader's impression of the characters can be different based off one's own experiences and how they relate, makingup how they came to their impression [using examples in specific scenarios].
e2 - comparing two quotes in the book, involving the same character, and discussing how each one swayed the reader's opinions on that same person/situation, just by taking a different approach to it. *using views on Septimus and his ideas.
r#3/ The general presentation of the book itself.
e1 - discussing the coverpage of the novel, the artsy-painting portion [based off the book I borrowed from the library, not any other original/remade cover].
e2 - talking about the title and "teaser" on the back of the book, and how they right from the start give impressions on what the story will be like.

I have a definite feeling I'm going to like your essay. The reasoning here shows insight. Your first example to R1 will need a fair number of small quotes to illustrate your point. R3 is the most problematic of the three, you will need to link your considerations of the packaging back into the content of that packaging. If you succeed it will be a very powerful point... but it is risky.
