Read excerpt 1 from Mrs. Dalloway, and then answer the following question.

While reading the excerpt, you might have noticed that Woolf often uses strings of multiple (and often disparate) phrases separated by commas or semicolons. Because they do not contain a main clause or even a verb, these lines are not sentences.

What is the specific effect of this technique in the lines quoted below? What effects does this technique create in the work in general? Does the technique make the description in the text seem more natural, or does it make the description seem contrived? (To answer this question, consider what the author is describing.) Develop an argument to support your position.

In people’s eyes, in the swing, tramp, and trudge; in the bellow and the uproar; the carriages, motor cars, omnibuses, vans, sandwich men shuffling and swinging; brass bands; barrel organs; in the triumph and the jingle and the strange high singing of some aeroplane overhead was what she loved; life; London; this moment of June.

If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die. that strain again! it had a dying fall: o, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odour! now read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." for i have known them all already, known them all: have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, i have measured out my life with coffee spoons; i know the voices dying with a dying fall beneath the music from a farther room. what does the phrase "dying fall" most likely mean in both excerpts
