  • Compare Virginia Woolf And Annie Dillard

    1937 Words  | 4 Pages

    Both Virginia Woolf and Annie Dillard are extremely gifted writers. Virginia Woolf in 1942 wrote an essay called The Death of the Moth. Annie Dillard later on in 1976 wrote an essay that was similar in the name called The Death of a Moth and even had similar context. The two authors wrote powerful texts expressing their perspectives on the topic of life and death. They both had similar techniques but used them to develop completely different views. Each of the two authors incorporate in their text a unique way of adding their personal experience in their essay as they describe a specific occasion, time, and memory of their lives. Woolf’s personal experience begins with “it was a pleasant morning, mid-September, mild, benignant, yet with a keener breath than that of the summer months” (Woolf, 1). Annie Dillard personal experience begins with “two summers ago, I was camping alone in the blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia” (Dillard, 1). Including personal experience allowed Virginia Woolf to give her own enjoyable, fulfilling and understandable perception of life and death. Likewise, Annie Dillard used the personal narrative to focus on life but specifically on the life of death. To explore the power of life and death Virginia Woolf uses literary tools such as metaphors and imagery, along with a specific style and structure of writing in a conversational way to create an emotional tone and connect with her reader the value of life, but ultimately accepting death through the relationship of a moth and a human. While Annie Dillard on the other hand uses the same exact literary tools along with a specific style and similar structure to create a completely different perspective on just death, expressing that death is how it comes. ...

    New York City, known for its crowded streets and subways, is filled with people of different ethnicities; those who look, talk and behave differently from others around them. After all, it is called the “melting pot” of the United States for a reason, a place where people from various backgrounds come to assimilate into the American Society. These different humans are identified and categorized into groups based on their skin color and physical features, giving rise to the concept of race.

  • The Mention of the Israelites in Egyptian Scriptures

    597 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to James Orr, general editor for “The Definition for Egypt,” the Tell el-Amarna Letters were discovered in 1887. “These documents refer to many Biblical cities; they also give much direct information concerning the political and social conditions at that period” (Orr, Palestine). Damien Mackey’s “The House of David,” shows the remarkable similarities between several rulers in Egypt and the three kings (Saul, David, and Salomon) mentioned in the Bible. In Michael Grant’s “The History of Ancient Israel,” he states that a ruler in the 14th century named Labayu ruled over Shechem and extended his kingdom as far as the Mediterranean coast (18). One model given in the case of Saul tells of a second name stated in Psalm 57; the name is Lebaim, “a unique word in the Old Testament meaning great lions.” In line with this passage comes a reference from the Amarna letters; an Egyptian pharaoh whose name was Labayu, meaning “Great Lion of (N)’ where N is a god’s name” (Mackey 1).

  • Fundamental principles of Waldorf Pedagogy

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    Steiner schools take pupils from birth to 18 years of age ideally and are divided into 3 developmental phases: from birth to 6 or 7 years, from 7 to 14 years and from 14 to 18 years. In Malta up till now there is only one Waldorf school that is established and it only has children up to six years (kindergarten level) but the intention is to build up to primary and secondary school as well. They welcome children of all abilities from all faiths and backgrounds. The priority of the Steiner ethos is to provide an unhurried and creative learning environment where children can find the joy of learning and experience the richness of childhood rather than focusing at such an early age on specializations and academic work. The curriculum itself is a flexible set of pedagogical guidelines founded on Steiner’s principles that take account of the child holistically. It gives equal attention to the physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and cultural needs of each student and is designed to work in harmony with the different phases of the child’s development. All lessons include a balance of artistic, practical and intellectual content. ...

  • Bible: The Book of Daniel

    2250 Words  | 5 Pages

    The timeline altered in the first verse of Dan. 7 serves as the opening to the four visions of in the remainder of Daniel. Belshazzar is cited in the first verse of chapter seven (7) as the King of Babylon, however Belshazzar is noted as the last King of Babylon and the son of Nebuchadnezzar in chapter five. The last king of the Babylonian Empire was Nabonidus. It is believed that Nabonidus for inexplicable reasons moved to the town of Teima and abrogated the empire to his son Belshazzar. Therefore, Seow points at that the “literary setting of Daniel 7 is the beginning of the end of the Babylonian Empire” (Seow, p. 101). The literary chronology of the period set is correct, but it is generally agreed among scholars (Collins, Hartman, Di Lella) there is no historical value in the dating. It is for this reason that most commentators immediately go into verse two of 7. Nevertheless, Daniel states, “Then ...

    At the end of World War I, the British Empire took control of the land, and imposed a monarchy on the region. However, in 1932 the British mandate came to an end, and the Iraqi people came in control of their newly independent country. Led by a series of kings, the country remained sufficiently stable and thrived off of discovered oil in the country. However, due to increased political oppression, a group known as “Free Officers” overthrew the monarchy and instituted a republic government on the land. (Iraq Foreign Policy, Brittanica, 2010)

  • Death Of The Moth Rhetorical Analysis

    1636 Words  | 4 Pages

    The subject of death is one that many have trouble talking about, but Virginia Woolf provides her ideas in her narration The Death of the Moth. The moth is used as a metaphor to depict the constant battle between life and death, as well as Woolf’s struggle with chronic depression. Her use of pathos and personification of the moth helps readers develop an emotional connection and twists them to feel a certain way. Her intentional use of often awkward punctuation forces readers to take a step back and think about what they just read. Overall, Woolf uses these techniques to give her opinion on existence in general, and reminds readers that death is a part of life.

    It is clearly shown in the Virginia Woolf’s essay that she was struggling between life and death during that time. Woolf makes us feel the death of a specific moth, which leaves the readers respecting the power of death. In Woolf’s essay, the moth was trying to pass through the window screen, but fails to do so because the window was closed. This insignificant creature created a battle with himself, struggling to fly through the windowpane and start a new life. To Woolf’s eyes, the moth did not let the glass separate itself from his goal, to manipulate his life. Virginia Woolf felt “a queer feeling of pity for him” and tries to help the moth. But, Woolf withdraws because helping him would take away the most important part of the moth’s life; the beauty of his struggle toward success.

    My desire for children in my care is that their learning journey would be meaningful as they explore the ideas and activities they are interested in. This means that I believe that children are naturally motivated learners and should have the opportunity to learn through their own explorations and through collaboration with other children and educators. I believe this can be done through both teacher-initiated and child-initiated activities and supported through play. I also believe that play is a natural and enjoyable means through which children learn. In my practice I aim to encourage children’s natural ...
