I have been blessed with the opportunity the past two years to serve the Monmouth College community by being a residence life staff member.

One reason Woolf chose to use several contrasts within the essay is to express the relationship of the moth to the world. To the moth, the world is of incomprehensible size. Being such a small…

In the poem “The Lesson of the Moth,” both the moth and the cockroach have their own philosophies on how life should be lived. I believe in the moth’s philosophy. I believe beauty is everything.

The moth symbolizes the wonder of life and death by being used as an example of the simplicity of life,…
