    Woolf's The Death Of The Moth

    Both of the essays share a similar title but the subtle difference can easily be detected. Woolf’s essay is titled "The Death of the Moth"; she witnessed a particular moth slowing dying by the window. As a result, “the” shows that the essay is only about that particular moth. While Dillard’s title is The Death of a Moth”, her use of “a” in the title she is referring to any moth not just one in particular like Woolf.…

Time after time, Golding subtly refers to Hobbes’ philosophy through Jack and his reactions with other characters in the book.…

    Farewell to Summer and Its Buzzing Creatures

    All of the extra detail Ackerman uses in this story leads me to believe she knows more than the average person when it comes to nature. One example of her showing her knowledge is when she mentions the three hummingbirds lining up, she actually seems to be able to distinguish between the male and female which is definitely not something the average person can do. Although Ackerman seems to know what she's talking about, I'm not sure how in-depth her knowledge is because most of what she writes could just be observations.…

    Fireflies

    “Fireflies” is the first single from Owl City’s album Ocean Eyes as well as the single that made its way up to the top spot in music charts from all over the world. It did not just claim the top spot from charts such as the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and radio stations but as well as iTunes’s top downloaded list of songs. The song’s success may be due to the fact that the single contains unforgettable fancy electronica tunes and pleasant drumbeats combined with Adam Young’s soft, emo-like voice. But above all the characteristics this song has, the song has been remembered for what might be its most arguable element: its lyrics. Is it truly nonsensical?…
