On The Story of the Moth One night‚ all the family‚ except my mother and myself‚ went to bed early. Why‚ I do not know‚ but we two remained sitting alone. The candles had already been put out. They had been blown out in their globes by means of a curved tube of tin. That tube seemed to me the finest and most wonderful plaything in the world. The room was dimly lighted by a single light of coconut oil. In all Filipino homes such a light burns through the night. It goes out just at day-break

I can state this‚ her ability to capture ones mind is unprecedented. She does it so well‚ it is almost natural. It is clear

Comparing the Death of a Moth and Allegory of a Cave Roberto Rodriguez University of La Verne Abstract Extremely interesting how Virginia Woolf and Plato describe their point of views in their essays.

Having read “The Death of a Moth” and “The Spider And The Wasp” the reader cannot help but look at parallels and contrasts between the tone that Virginia Woolf takes in her piece and the tone that is seen in Alexander Petrunkevitch’s writing. 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
