The Death of the Moth by Woolf

In Virginia Woolf's narration "The Death of the Moth", the battle between life and death. She brings out a strong pathos and maintained throughout the story as the reader can visualize and feel for the moth. "the approach of death laid the pencil down" to continue and watched how she can abandon them. Death in which by any given chance, nor can the strengthen can capture death itself. As Woolf is writing this essay and mention "No longer raise himself; his legs struggled vainly, as I stretched out a pencil to help him... failure were the approach of death" It seen that the moth can no longer complain, in which "death stronger than I am". In which every creature or being would soon have to realize, death is inevitable.

Weekly Reflection 4

Wow, time does fly by fast. The 4th week of school is already coming to closing. This week was by far the longest week I ever felt in my life, with essay and correcting and draft to make the perfect argumentative essay. This was my first time ever putting so much effect into this essay, but without the help of Mr. Smith editing my rough draft, I won't think I can make it look presentable. On Thursday, we were introduce to a story "on love" after reading the story and watched the video, I understand what the experiment was about, after that video was over we had to write about I ideal partner. It was a weird concept.

Joan Didion On Keeping A Notebook

Reading this essay made me realize that if my mind was like a notebook with detailed events, maybe I could be able to go back to the past in change the mistakes I've made in the past. I would also be able to remember small details that people tend to forget. For example, "It all comes back. Even that recipe for sauerkraut: even that brings is back." At the end of the story, Didion remembers the recipe that she had forgotten.

 

I can feel a connection to Didion because when I was younger I used to keep a journal. I used to write things from silly sayings, to serious thoughts that were in my head, to details about many different things. Although I no longer write in a journal, I still feel a connection with Didion since we both had a detailed notebook during our lives.

Didion greatly strengthens her work by leaving many unanswered questions. This strengthens her work in many different ways. One way is that it allows for the reader to use their imagination and come up with some answers of their own. This allows the ready to kind of continue on with the story in their own imaginative way. Another way it strengthens her work is that it makes the reader curious about what will happen next. That is a strength because it causes the reader to really think deep down about the story.

Weekly reflection 3

The 3rd week of school, we were assigned with different tasks to work on as a group, later on we had to depend on the individually, and see if they would get there parts done on time. It was a pretty great experience to work with others and be able to communicate and learn something new about the other person. With the introducing about Aristotelian Argument, at first I didn't quite understand it. But as hegive example it became quite easy in a way. As he talks about Aristotelian he points out the importants issues of how his essay is format it. He wants the reader pay more attention to the used of Ethos, Logos and Pathos, in which the writer can provide the a strong argument essay.
