Similarly, Frost also uses descriptive adjectives to portray a significant moment in time, which creates imagery for the reader. In “Stopping by a Woods on a Snowy Evening” Frost uses the rule of three by listing the adjectives “lovely, dark and deep”. This, along with the alliteration in “dark and deep” creates a powerful image of the woods. By doing this, Frost is being metaphorical as the woods themselves represent solidarity and peace “He will not see me here” the personal pronoun “he” meaning society or God. Essentially, Frost is saying that when one steps out of life’s routine, it can be “lovely, dark and deep” which comes across as mysterious and unusual. It could also be said that because the three adjectives used are simple, they can be accessible for anyone to relate to.

A lot of the times in the story the snowy cold drafts creep through the window sill and makes Ann feel even more depressed.

In the first section of this gothic short story, Jacobs starts off by describing the setting. He describes the night as "cold and wet" but, he shows the reader that the house is warm and cozy even with the cold rainy weather. He depicts this by telling us “the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly"(Jacobs 1). He contrasts the inside of the home heavily with the outside of the home.

And when «she knows it's happening: that thing, that connection» between them, when she dances for him and «making him fall in love with her» she says to him: «We've got all we need.

Hayden uses the juxtaposition of the cold of the outdoors to the warmth of the home that the writer creates to present the father’s love for his child. Although the father did not demonstrate conventional love for the narrator but proved his unconditional love by putting a roof over the child’s head. The winter night is metaphor for the absence of love. Though the child did not comprehend the love the father had for them, they reminiscence upon how the would be left in the cold if the father did not meet the provisions. So the father’s love was not evident in displays of affection but meeting the needs of the child.

Through understanding the contribution of the caregiver; once empathic response to the parent increases. Hence it closes the gap of differences that exist within the child parent

When she first begins the poem, the sense of sorrow is present. The author speaks of what her brother has done wrong, but she does so with an attitude that shows she does not care about those actions. She speaks like this until the near end, where she openly expresses her endearment for her brother and sheds a more positive outlook onto him. The last stanza demonstrates that, as a person who has made poor decisions, he was a caring brother until the end. It also shows how, regardless of what others think, she will always view him in her own way.

The narrator talks about how excited he, and the rest of his family, were to finally board the plane they were taking out of the country. He remembers in brief detail “There is a photograph of my father, mother, / sister, and me going up / the steps to the plane / all smiling.” The narrator only mentions the best of the experience, excitement in more than one form. Not only would this experience sound exciting, but he also explains that his family’s expressions were filled with joy and excitement. Additionally the narrator starts describing his surroundings as dull and disappointing, especially when he talks about his living conditions. The narrator says he “discovered darkness in closets / turned hands in a boring bathroom / as the snow whorled down / pillowing the city / with soft / glass.” As he sat in the bathroom trying to study English he realized how boring his new life is now. The narrator has to stay in the bathroom to study presumably because it was the quietest room in their tiny hotel. The only new knowledge he gains is how dark the closets are and describes the snow as soft glass. He doesn’t want to talk about the snow as if it was a beautiful ice crystal which kind of hints that he is already drained of his new
