As the Goodmans pulled up to the driveway of the lodge snow started falling. They didn’t get much snow in North Carolina so they stared admiringly at the glistening

The snow in the novel represents the isolation the community faces throughout the dark winter. As the snow began to fall, it started to pile up and block the roads. “The snow came again overnight, pounding the small community at an unforgiving pace.” (Rice 71) With the intense amount of precipitation, the community is unable to clear the snow, blocking the roads.

Throughout the text, Michael mentions the snow. Considering the book’s about a blizzard, that’d be normal, right? However, in my view, the snow symbolizes something, like dreadful times. Scattered around, the context surrounding the snow can be interpreted as how you feel during those times. For example, later in the book, when the students realize just how bad it is, they explain it as, “There was no higher ground, no place left for us to go”(Northrop 158). Here, a relation to people feeling as if there’s nowhere else to go, so they’re trapped in the horrible event occurring can be made. Results tend to be mourning over those poor times in people’s lives. Similarly, Michael connects that to how we view bad situations. Early on in the book, description of the snow is showed as it being “small flakes”, “like grains of sugar… the flakes had fattened up and

Do you ever wonder how insanity comes about through the brain? Paul is the main character in the story “Silent Snow, Secret Snow”. Snow is what paul struggles with throughout the story. It represents the sanity that he has. Whether it is a large or small amount the snow is constantly there. He goes through the story accepting the snow but his parents do not. He then locks himself in his room and just let’s the snow take over him. `In the story “Silent Snow, Secret Snow,” the snow represents the clarity of Paul going insane as the snow is not truly there, the snow clouds his thoughts, and it speaks to him.

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. Similarly, at the beginning of the novel, it says,

The whole atmosphere Is very dark. The author is possibly attempting to draw viewers thoughts to focus on this man’s death. This death of this man is a loss of life, at least I felt that as the snow globe was released from his dying hands, it foreshadowed this loss. The globe was shattered and broken like the life of this man.

The snow from the tree falling on the fire is not just an impact on the character but also is the climax. “High up in the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing

In the case of “Snow in Midsummer” we may notice a somewhat paradoxical view on

The first sentence of the story is also interesting. The sentence opens the story by telling you “Early that day the weather turned and the snow was melting into dirty water” (Carver par 1). This opening sentence is important because it acts as symbolism. The snow is white usually represent purity in literature.

In "Snowbanks North of the House", Robert Bly explores the human tendency to give up at hard points in life. He discusses a young man who has lost his motivation to live and foreshadows what would happen if the man were to act upon his suicidal thoughts. He shows the thoughts and actions of the man’s family and how they are affected, causing the reader to sympathize for them. The poet uses symbolism, visual imagery, and tone to show his position that suicide is a crime that has multiple victims, and all of these people should be considered when struggling to cope with life.

As I stepped out of the exit door a frigid breeze almost made me an iceberg. I did not feel my hands, legs and it caused pain in my esophagus and ears similar to the pain which I had only experienced when I licked or swallowed ice-candies in India. But this condition was pacified by the “SNOW”. When in India I remember that my family once visited one of the states of India in the Himalayan region to experience snow. During my initial few months over here snow was a pleasure to watch and I didn’t understand the reason for everybody worrying about the snowy days. I felt it needless to worry about so soft, so white, so smooth snow until I had to drive in that not so smooth snow, clean not so soft and white snow and then get exhausted to wait for the so called SPRING.

“For reasons unfathomable to the most experienced prophets in Maycomb County, autuem turned into winter that year. We had two weeks of the coldest weather since 1885, Atticus said,” (63) This drawing was just a fun one. But it showed what the kids reactions were to the frozen snow on the ground.

Snow, one of Earth’s most beautiful, and ugliest, creations, is a wintertime topic that brings with it mixed emotions, opinions and heated debates. Some people love it, others not so much. It can bring joy, happiness and laughter, but can bring just as much destruction, danger and misery.

On a snowy and windy night, I was at Barnes & Noble in Green Bay with my friends, Alan and Karina. Christmas music played overhead, the smell of hot chocolate and freshly brewed coffee wafted over, the customers were kind and cheerful, and snow was beginning to blanket the parking lot outside. We were sitting near the cafe wrapping books to support their mom’s school fundraiser. I stared outside and remembered my mom’s warning of the large snowfall that was almost upon us. Around 7:15, the snowflakes were becoming larger and we could barely see outside the window.
