The smells of the transition from summer to fall were in the air, accompanied by the sounds of birds singing and the wind blowing through the trees.

The term death is often used lightly and has been made into something of an unimportant subject.

language that perfectly describes a setting, character, or situation. Virginia Woolf’s “The Death of the Moth” is no exception.

Plath then talks about a “Pale hand” in the third stanza which visually represents a hand of a person who has died or of a corpse.
