Comparison of "I Am Not a Vegetable" and "Street Haunting"

In Woolf’s “Street Haunting” she’s explain her various experiences and certain ones are triggers for her to remember her past. I would compare this piece to Emily’s I Am Not a Vegetable piece because her opening scene is kind of similar in the sense that a certain setting can make you feel a certain way. In Emily’s piece she was describing how she felt about going to class and the apprehension of seeing a particular boy. In Woolf’s piece she explains how we are apt to go out and buy something when something else happens along the way. I also think the scene about the dwarf woman dancing and attracting people’s eye is Emily's opposition to her piece--there are that would help and then there are people stand idly by.
