Virginia Woolf " The Death of the Moth"

This essay is about the life and death of a moth. I liked this essay because it has two morals: everything in life must come to an end and you should never give up in life.She talks about the way in life, everything must start and everything in life must end. She found this moth inside her house. As she found it in her house, she wanted to watch the process of the life of the moth. She describes that the moth looks like a butterfly because it is free, yet doesn't because of how it looks like physically. When she followed the moth, she found out that she hurt the moth and the moth stopped to fly around. After it stopped to fly around, she poked it with a pencil. She started to poke the pencil and she noticed that he was still alive. She was in shock in how a small animal can bring itself back to balance. After the animal stood up, she realized that he was strong and that life has a process of metamorphosis.
