The lesson of the moth is a really good poem. It talkes about the two different types of people in life. The risk takers and the non risk takers. The moth was a big risk taker and the cockroach was not a risk taker more like a scary cat. The moth said that it’s better to be happy. Later in the poem the moth burns himself on a cigar. Then the cockroach said that he would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity.

The two character in the poem are a moth and a cockroach. The moth represents a risk taker and the cock roach represents a non risk taker. The poet believes in risk taking because he is using his voice in the moths voice.

Between these two views I think of my self as a risk taker. I mean you only live once right. ( YOLO) when your not a risk taker life seems kinda boring don’t you think. Now if your a risk taker you have fun in your life and have a lot of happiness. Think of what point of view you want to have.
