Team C-Rod's All-Stars: Periods 3 & 4

For March 19 & 22 - Periods 5 & 6 Classwork

You will need your 50 Essays books! You will also need these questions for class on Friday or Monday. SMILE, and I will miss you!
1. What is the connection that Woolf makes between the moth and the other things she sees outside her window?
2. When thinking about such large subjects as life and death, why does Woolf take as her immediate subject such as a small creature? Reread the essay with that question in mind, focusing on the most descriptive passages and try to answer by imagining alternative ways she might have written it.
3. Both Woolf’s “The Death of a Month” and EB White’s “Once More to the Lake” deal with nature and contemplate death or an end to an era. How are their descriptions and themes they develop from those descriptions different?
4. What is Woolf’s purpose in writing this essay? To explore, inform, convince, meditate or pray?
5. Why has this essay endured for sixty years? What makes it memorable, lasting?
