Two Essays

Death of a Moth

This was a great read, and I'm sure it's going to be a favorite for a lot of us. I think this piece really shows how important life is in all forms. It makes the reader want to appreciate his/her life, and all the life around them. After I finished reading this short piece, I found myself noticing things more outside and really enjoying the beauty of all life forms from plants to insects to animals. The harmony is truly amazing.

I just liked the format of this story. The rhythm of the writing was interesting and something I would like to incorporate in my writing some how. Sometimes it rambles but the ability to make it full circle is great.

  1. I also really enjoyed the moth story. I found it very interesting that someone could write about a moth. I never really looked at it the way you did, but now that you bring that point up I find it very interesting. I can see how reading that story makes you appreciate everything around you.
