Use the guided analysis exercises within the lesson as a model for this part of the assignment.

The poem consists of many different uses of figurative language in order to connect snow to death. Cofer included the use of similes to allow the readers to make a connection to what she was saying, so that they could grasp a better understanding. An example of a simile can be found in lines 6-7: “the Caribbean sun winds up the world like an old alarm clock” (Cofer). The author is comparing two unlike things, the sun and an alarm clock, however they have a similar connection. The Caribbean sun is what wakes the world, just like an alarm clock does. The use of this simile adds to the poem’s meaning because it describes the life that the grandmother lives and that is warmth in her home in the Caribbean.

In Billy Collins’ poem, Neither Snow, the speaker shows a reflective tone towards the idea that every individual has their own perspective on any given situation through figurative language and choice of detail. The speakers’ reflective tone is visible through a shift in the diction choices he uses and a rhetorical question he presents. Early in the poem the speaker compares snow to krill with the words “looked like”, the connotation behind these words which are repeated suggest and emphasize uncertainty in thought as well as a belief that the image can be interpreted in more than one way. As he thinks more about the events of that Sunday afternoon however, he comes to the conclusion that “it was a run of white plankton”.

In The Road, the gray winter McCarthy establishes represents death. In effect, McCarthy integrates winter in the novel to symbolize the mortality of the man. Also, with winter representing death, the author foreshadows to the eventual death of the man, illuminating the theme of mortality more so. Through the atmosphere and the weather of the region, the author explores the theme of mortality through the Man.

The first paragraph vividly describes the harsh conditions and builds up the ominous tone. The fact that it was a bright cold day creates confusion, as usually cold days are accompanied by cloudiness, and bright days are usually accompanied by heat. When the clocks strike thirteen, it is obvious that this place is not similar to our present world, building ambiguity. The vile wind and gritty dust create even more description on the setting; a bright cold windy dusty day in April. The extreme conditions of the setting causes the reader to infer that the current setting is not fit for human life, although that is exactly what it turns out to be. This adds on to the already increasing ominous tone of the

In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden, is about a man looking back on his childhood experience, and relationship with his father. The father of this man was the type of person to do arduous labor, and be unacknowledged for it. Although the father deserved to not be acknowledged because he only went through this labor for his obligation and expectations to do so, not out of love, compassion, nor alacrity of any kind. He was an austere, anodyne, and abusive father but, his son still believes he could have been a better son by behaving more appropriately, and giving him at least a time where someone recognized and acknowledged his efforts through gratitude. The son thought that if he did so, then things between them may have been better. Through the wording, consonance, strong words, and meaning in the poem “Those Winter Days” exemplify the poor relationship between father and son, being bethought by his son as a man leading to his remorse that he could’ve been on better terms with his father.

Carver uses examples of symbolism which act as foreshadowing in the story. He open the story by telling the reader “Early that day the erather turned and the snow was melting into dirty water.” The snow symbolizes purity which suggests that the cuoples once healthy relationship has been destroyed. The author also writes “Cars slushed on the street outside where it was getting dark.

A. Problem Analysis – Following the directions in the assignment, clearly write up your problem analysis in this section.

Throughout the book, there is a significant connection with winter and the main character, Lia. Winter in the book is a symbol of how she is broken and physically sick from her disorder anorexia. When Lia goes to the same motel her best friend, Cassie died in, she struggles to become stable with her disorder and considers extreme choices that affect her later in the book. Lia says,“If I really want to die, right now….I could walk into the blizzard and lie down in the snow and bleed out. Hypothermia and blood loss is like going to sleep”(265). Lia is going through an ongoing battle with herself that makes her view on life careless. Anderson uses specific words like “hypothermia”, “blizzard” and “snow” to emphasize the symbolism of winter in the main character’s life throughout the book. The snow being frozen and penetrating explains one of the symptoms of anorexia, which is feeling cold. In addition to this, Lia’s mentions of topics relating to winter is her way of expressing how she is in a frozen state of being dead and alive, all from her disorder. However, at the end of the book, Lia has overcome this past, saying, “I am thawing”(Anderson, 278). This implies how the past of Lia’s ongoing battle with anorexia has made her discover who she was a person at the end of the book. This also expressed how winter is the symbol of how she has struggled with

When one hears the word “winter”, one might think of a cold, peaceful environment. In the beginning of the novel, the wintery environment present in Starkfield, Massachusetts has an elegant and appealing nature. However, Edith Wharton reveals how this seemingly peaceful environment can twist a whole community and provide an unpropitious future for the residents there. By using the theme of winter, Wharton attempts to create a tranquil setting; however, as the story progresses Starkfield begins to turn into a bleak, ironic setting that buries each characters desires and dreams.

Expanding on the model types which serve as results for the research questions, Shaw explains that the analytical model is a structural model providing support for formal analysis, the descriptive model exposes hurdles in decision making in the design phase and the empirical model which is uncommon provides sound statistical data to back it up. The research results proposed are validated using results based on controlled experiment or empirical model. Results validated through experience are generally not accepted.
