In the essay, “The Death of the Moth,” author Virginia Woolf describes a detailed transition from abundant life to tranquil death. On the outside, one would be forgiven for not caring about the demise of a mere insect. The numerous distractions of everyday life seem to exceed the importance of a lady watching a bug pass away. In fact, these criticisms would certainly be valid for most articles on this topic. However, Woolf uses a complex vocabulary and detailed descriptions to add interest and…

The fact is that much has been said about Woolf’s literary career and works, and much about To the Lighthouse (1927), with regard to the different aspects of her works in general, and her style and stylistics in particular . Here, neither do I intend to repeat the said things with regard to her works, nor does the scope of this study allow me to go into detail to take into account these aspects. What I should like to say about Woolf here, will be concerning those aspects of her novel that I am…

Why the Confederacy Lost the Civil War The Confederacy lost the Civil War for many reasons that could’ve impacted the results of the Civil War. One reason is that the south didn’t have as many resources as the North. In fact, as of 1860, 97% of the Guns in the USA were made in the North. Additionally, 94% of the pig iron was made in the North. The North blocked its rivers, so supplies couldn’t be sent to the south. So, the North had more resources than the south. All the south really had was big…

Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was a troubled individual who struggled with depression her entire life. She was able to write about her experiences which inspired some of her greatest works. It is sad, though, that she was in darkness her whole life and was not able to see the light. But, despite the darkness, she was able to give the literary world some great pieces and that is what she is remembered for. Virginia Woolf was a very influential writer of her time and continues to be today, she…

as the victor due to the impressive leadership of Lieutenant John Worden, innovative naval technology, and frankly pure luck. On the morning of March 8, 1862, the CSS Virginia steamed into Hampton Roads looking to pick a fight. However, this ship was nothing like the other vessels in the harbor. “The Confederate State Ship Virginia boasted no masts or spars, nor sails of any kind. The black smoke emerging from its single stack amidships marked it as a steam-powered vessel… To add to the…

When 104 men hit the ground in Virginia in 1607 they felt that the name Jamestown fit very well for the first English settlement in the New World. More than ten years later, 102 men did the same thing and hit ground in Massachusetts, choosing the name Plymouth. This is where English settlement began! The two British colonies had such big dreams and ideas. These dreams and ideas took them far and started something they never thought they would have. When it came to government, each colony had…

New Jersey is full of places where historical events have occurred. One of these places is Journal Square, which is located in Jersey City, NJ. Its history starts when the Lenni Lenape Indians first settled there. In the 1650s, General Peter Stuyvesant had everyone under his rule. Two years later, Stuyvesant engineered the purchase of most of present-day Hudson County from the Indians in return for materials. On November 1660, the Dutch moved in and claimed Bergen Square (now known as Journal…

"The Death of the Moth” In the essay The Death of the Moth, Virginia Woolf illustrates the worldwide struggle between life and death. Her style and the moth’s vulnerability reinforce the idea that when fighting for life, death becomes dominant over one's existence. Her argument using personification was "Death is stronger than I am,”. The author personifies death by comparing it with an individual's overall strength; physically and mentally. When the signs of death arrived, she describes how it…

Virginia Woolf uses eloquent language to present the lasting memories from her childhood in this passage. Truly, she is a woman of great renown with a silver tongue as her work always has a sense of expressiveness. Very easily, she illustrates a scene for readers. Perhaps, due to her mental illness, her sense of vivid writing is heightened as most emotions are for people who struggle with bipolar disorder as she did. Woolf is absolutely descriptive of everything, nothing goes…
