Virginia Woolf vs. Annie Dillard People would probably prefer Annie Dillard’s “The Death of a Moth” instead of Virginia Woolf’s “The Death of the Moth” because Virginia Woolf’s essay is dark and depressing, with no chance of hope. Even though this might be the case, the two essays are great in showing style, content, and purpose. Though, both essays have some differences. The way that they relate a moth to their lives is just incredible. Virginia Woolf’s essay is speaking about life and death while

The principle downfall to life is that it will unfailingly conclude in death. In “The Death of the Moth,” Virginia Woolf presents the struggle with mortality and the overall acceptance that death cannot be beaten. Using similes, metaphors, and personification to express the experience she has with a moth, Woolf is able to take a trivial occurrence and fill it with significance.

Most of the problems and treatments these characters face are in direct result of the age they live in

The American Heritage Dictionary defines Adaptation as the following: "1(a). The act for process of adapting. 1(b). The state of being adapted. 2.

The Hours According to Chronicles magazine, "Woolf was undeniably a brilliant writer." Woolf's work of Mrs. Dalloway was read by fifteen-year-old Michael Cunningham in order to impress an older girl in school. As he stated, "the book really knocked me out." Once older, Cunningham wanted to write about Mrs. Dalloway, but thought not too many people would want to read a book about reading a book. He then thought he might want to read a book about reading the right book. Hence, The Hours was written

Since the beginning of time, humans have known that death is inevitable and it cannot be stopped. Death can occur in many forms including natural, medical, and suicidal deaths. Because death is so prevalent in everyone’s lives it is very common for an author to touch on the subject.
