    Prose Analysis of “The Spider and the Wasp” by Alexander Petrunkevitch “The Spider and the Wasp” is an excellent example of prose. Alexander Petrunkevitch has created a work that entertains as well as educates. The way in which Petrunkevitch develops the prose is particularly notable. In the introduction the writer introduces the central idea of the essay rather abruptly.

    THE SPIDER AND THE WASP In the feeling and protection of their genetic descendant‚ insects and spiders show off some zeal in analogies to reasoning and some sensitive examples of blind instinct.

While some may say that there are no similarities seen in the two pieces and there is no comparison to be made between the two pieces‚ they clearly have not analyzed these two authors works as well as they should have. Both of these writers overall use of brevity
