Annie Dillard’s essay "The Death Of A Moth" made no sense to me when I initially read it‚ in a "sleep-deprived" state. In the haze my mind was in‚ during the battle with my body and my desire to read this essay‚ all I could make out was that; she berated the small cat about her short-term memory before kicking her out of the bed they shared.

Using nature to symbolize is one technique poets use in order to convey an idea or message that the poet wants to underline and express.

Woolf‚ being emotionally and psychologically crippled by depression throughout her lifetime‚ morbidly expressed her perspective of the world in this piece‚ written one year prior to her suicide. It commences

The literature I chose to read this week was An Animal’s Place and The Death of a Moth. These two reading were similar in the way that they talked about living. In The Death of a Moth‚ Virginia Wolf used the moth as a simile for humans’ life. In her writing she described how gentle a moth is‚ and how simple its life can be. In An Animals Place‚ Michael Pollan takes directly about animals and their lives with no similes or metaphors. She talks about the ways they are treated. She even told the reader
