The writer composes the story from the perspective of an analyst. She alludes to occasions later on, facts, and information that no character could have known in the setting of the story. Incorporated into the content are genuine quotes said or composed by the general population she expounds on, including the primary character. She utilizes an extremely objective voice, giving successive analysis of distinctive individuals' outlook and continually alluding to insights to demonstrate her point. Since the book does not focus on the point of view of any single character, it peruses more like a news article than a story, which frequently exhausting its groups of readers. Accordingly, Hillenbrand's written work style once in a while obstructs the correspondence of her thoughts because she regularly includes actualities, quotes and investigation in the book; it usually bores audience on the grounds that it peruses more like a news article instead of a

To start off with, the snow creates a setting within the story. For example, in the text it says, “I sat up and looked at it for a while. It was like how you can’t see out the window into darkness at night, but anyone out there can see in, if that makes any sense.” (Northrop, page 69) This piece of text demonstrates how the snow creates a setting because the snow surrounded the high school and made the characters feel captive.

The stories I enjoy to read about, watch, and listen to all involve romance. Most of the romantic stories I am drawn to have similar story lines, which is a guy and girl fall in love at the beginning and become separated for a few years due to a conflict. After their separation one or both characters will find a new significant other. Later on in the story they will run into each other and rekindle their love for one another. When they both discover their feelings for one another are still present they inform their “new” significant other and leave them, to reunite their old relationship. These stories usually conclude with a happy ending, which usually consists of getting married and living happily ever after. The stories people are drawn to do have an impact on who they are as individuals, by leaving individuals with expectations and attributions to inspire them. One story that has set my expectation levels high when searching for love is the Notebook.

I was beginning to prepare for the next residency and I realized that I was not looking forward to hearing presentations from liberal and leftist progressive ideologues who seem unable to keep their opinions to themselves and just teach writing. Then I began watching Cold Mountain, the next PBIC and movie and once again, it's all about depraved ignorant southerners, a coward that runs from war, and slavery. I'm not sure why the faculty keeps returning to slavery and oppression in required books and movies again and again, but it's truly become repulsive for me. There's plenty of other optimistic works that could serve this purpose for learning.

Romanticized stories are those that show an idyllic yet unrealistic view of reality. It’s the picturesque quality of romance that draws the reader in. One example of this is in An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce. In An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge, Bierce increases the impact of the story’s ending by romantically depicting Farquhar’s escape and following the romantic portrayal with a sudden snap back to reality.

No grudge is held against the compositions of Cold Mountain for the simplicity, as the film itself was a solemn, cold natured film. Cold Mountain's frigid demeanor allowed for little expression in the musical moments, unlike in Big Fish, where Elfman was able to tap into the expressiveness of the film to add variety and expressionism to the score. Thus, the two contrasting natures of the films are what give birth to the contrasted leitmotive natures.

In narration, point of view is able to be distinguished from other pieces with similar overall themes through the authors use of descriptive details and deep internal thoughts and reflections.

My family and I had just arrived at Mammoth Mountain, CA for our annual skiing trip, it took us about an our or two to get unpack fully. We were going to be staying there for about a week and skiing all the slopes that the mountain has.

When we finally arrived I was practically bouncing up and down in excitement waiting to be able to go down the slopes. As, we got to the front of the line to go down the mountain there was an announcement saying the all skiing courses were closed for the day because of lightning. After the announcement went off I literally deflated from the news because I was so thrilled about going down the trails

After The Snow by S.D. Crockett is an engaging novel about a fifteen-year-old boy named Willo who lost his family after the snowstorm that made the ice caps collapse. Willo is faced with two options-- to live in the mountains and search for his family, or live on his own and take necessary action to survive with the help of a companion. But what will he choose? Willo, the protagonist of After The Snow by S.D. Crockett and I are not at all similar. We have different views of the world, are viewed by the world in distinctive ways and I would respond in a different way to the central conflict of the novel. Therefore, I believe given the chance, we would not be friends.
