Moth

Morenike Ibidapo Design by Robert Frost is a poem that seems to be describing a moment in time, when one is observing a spider on a heal-all, with a moth caught in the spider’s web. There is not much action in the poem, in fact, the only action taking place is the speaker looking at this scene in nature. It seems that through this observation, Frost is saying that some grand design may be responsible for creating this scene in nature. In this poem, Frost uses a series of metaphors and an…

The speaker comes across a "dimpled spider; fat and white" that has captured and killed a moth on a white flower called a "Heal-all". This scene is in all white. Why is the flower that is actually blue, white? What brought the spider to that particular flower? Why did the moth come by at that time? Can such a small event of nature be considered part of any design? Stana two questions god's role as creator of nature. The shift of the poem takes place between stanzas when the speaker goes from…

is believed that the different features of the moth relates to the movie. Furthermore, the overall life-cycle of the moth relates to the characters’ growth and evolution during the course of the movie (Robbins, 82). The growth of the moth includes three distinctive stages starting from the larva, pupa, and adult moth stage. Starling, the main character, undergoes personal growth and evolution changes throughout the film. Hence the lifecycle of the moth symbolizes a transformation of Starling as…

holding up a moth." The moth is holding onto this white flower called the heal-all trying to escape the spider but death is surely to come. The white heal all flower is regarded as a safe haven or refuge with the power to heal. How ironic to die on a flower with medicinal capabilities. Frost uses these three characters as a metaphor of the beautiful and sometimes cruel world that we all live in. The color white is often used to represent purity. Why does Frost describe the spider, moth and…

with her use of several different symbols, she gets her point across that she views death as a rebirth of a person. Dillard makes her belief clear that one cannot have rebirth without first experiencing death. Beginning her explanation, she recalls a moth throwing itself into a flame. She identifies herself…

“The Death of the Moth”, by Virginia Woolf, and “The Spider and the Wasp”, by Alexander Petrunkevitch, had both similar and different ways of expressing tones. Both Woolf's and Petrunkevitch's writing styles are similar. They both use descriptive imagery and details. Some examples of this in Petrunkevitch's essay are "the exasperated spider" and "soft membrane". Another example, this time in Woolf's essay, is "hay-coloured wings, fringed with a tassel of the same colour". These descriptive…

be done at least three times to get an accurate result. Therefore, you can fix this problem by doing it three more time. This models to real life with the peppered moths. Some moths are light some are dark, the trees used to be light so the dark moths would be eaten then they turn dark so now the light moths are getting eaten. The moths then evolved to becoming darker. ("Science Aid.” Evolution and Natural Selection. N.p., n.d. Web. 7 May 2012.)We learned from…

Dutterer ENG 1010 October 14, 2015 Darwinian Evolution Since thousands and thousands of years ago, humans have been fascinated by the way they, and other types of living organisms, change over time. They wondered about the reasons of those changes that make various populations of living organisms distinctly different from each other. The answer is; evolution.

put in simple terms, is a competition for the more fit species. For example, the peppered moth. The white moths could hide better from predators than the black moths against the lighter trees. The white moths are considered more fit than the black moths. When the trees started to be covered in black coal dust, the white moths were dying out because of the inability to hide from predators making the black moths the more fit species. Some misconceptions about natural selection is that it is…
