Death of a Moth-

Throughout the narrative, Virginia Wolf sprinkles several different writing modes; description, narration, and cause and effect.
Out of the writing modes used in the story, Virginia Wolf describes each aspect and minor object with great detail. Wolf enables something as small as a moth to become larger than life,l and vivid with color through intricate and specific details. "Nevertheless, the present specimen, with his narrow hay-coloured wings, fringed with a tassel of the same color, seemed to be content with life" (Wolf). Through vivid detail, the reader is able to create the moth in their mind just as described and place themselves in the narrator's position. Wolf describes the moth as if it were a person who walked into a room, giving specific details from the color of its wings to a matching tassel, with great detail comes heavy and powerful imagery.
