In Virgina Woolf's story, Death of a Moth, she experiences a moths life pass and go right before her eyes as she is wrinting a story. The question is, why? Why would she write about this moth that caught her attention. I believe that when she saw the moth she saw another life, something that was so intersting she had to keep watching. I think as she is depicting what is going on with words of imagery, she describes the moths life coming and going. the thing is she doesnt know that it is going, as she watches and as time goes, she can see that this moth is fighting for its life. She described it so well though, that you could really see it happening in your mind. When she writes about the moth falling to the window sill, I believe thats when she truely knows that the moth is at its time, and at the final moment she depicts the moth pushing itself upright to finally pass. I do believe that the final struggle for the moth to get upright had the most emotion in it, and therefore stands out to me. Virgina Woolf made me feel like i was there.

I totally agree, I thought the details and the analogies while describing the moth's death were very well written and helped paint a picture of the scene

Good point. Now think about... how in the world did she do that? Did you make your audience feel that way in your draft? Looking forward to reading it. Good post! -teachy teach
