Snow Crash

Outside the window, snow drizzled lightly. “Goodmorning, honey,” my sleepy husband’s glazed eyes looked at me melodically as he spoke. I replied, “Goodmorning, love.” It was time to begin my day. I shuffled up the cold stairs to go wake my precious babies- Ellie, Brock, and Marsy. We all got dressed in our warm winter clothes and headed out the door. The New York air and fresh breeze of Christmas rolled into our home as my little six year old Brock shut the door behind us. I took Marsy and

could see his breath, he now perceived the word snow. He was high up, but he sat on the hard flat object. Then he perceived the word sled. He now perceives the word hill. He felt himself going downhill, he did not need a voice to explain the experience. The experience explains itself. His face rips through the cold air. He is perceiving new words as he slides down the hill. He can feel the hill-flattening, nearing the bottom. The motion slows, and snow piles around the sled. Jonas pushes his body,

Rhetoric is a powerful tool in which can be used to influence an audience through words. How the speaker presents his or her argument ultimately depends on the rhetorical tools used. Here, the Supreme Court presents an interesting observation on the accounts of the Fleury case in which the plaintiff Salynda E. Fleury argues avalanches are not an inherent danger and risk of skiing. The following is a great example of how the supreme court attempts to persuade the audience though specific elements

the story taking place at a park, or at the beach? The next piece of evidence would of course be how the blizzard affects the setting of the story. London describes the ground that the man was walking on was a thin sheet of ice with three feet of snow on top of that. This plays an important part because later in the story the man starts walking and doesn't notice that he was actually walking on the frozen lake until he falls through. So with there being a blizzard going on it snowed a lot on the

The Nearly Fatal Snow Caving Trip Sharp pains shooting through muscles, trying to avoid sleep, hypothermia set in on an Antarctic ice crevasse researcher. I had the opportunity to go snow caving with my brother, Josh. I was confident in my winter backcountry skills and anticipated a memorable trip. I did not know what I was getting into. Growing colder day-by-day, winter became more dominant. Deep snow made travel difficult. To navigate through this terrain, I would have to wear special equipment

Snow Angel Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Angelina whose dream was to have a chance at seeing the world and the seven wonders it held. “Perhaps, someday,” she sighed, looking out her bedroom window. For now, the one-room apartment her family shared with her and someday were enough. For years, it seemed it would always be. But, one day, on her way back home from buying salt from the market, a goblin appeared and strolled up to Angelina. He had a smug walk and a smile that carried malicious

happily outside my window. The first snow of the Winter season speckled the green vegetation a screen of radiant white. It was December 23rd, 6;03 A.M. I live in Oregon, right by Crater lake. My family, one little brother, two parents, and two animals. We live in a log cabin, in the woods a ½ mile away from the frozen lagoon. It’s beautiful during the Winter, or as my family calls it; the Season of Frost. The ice glazes across the opaque water. Rich, opulent snow enriches the effect, making it hard

Her lips were numb when she pulled away, but the ache in her chest remained. Her body shivered and for once it wasn’t from being close to Theo. The house had cooled several degrees and she felt the cold. The homage to Theo caught her eye again, sending her brain into overdrive. “It’s bloody cold in here.” She rubbed her arms. “I don’t know if I can do this,” she whispered as she bent down and picked up the clothes she’d dropped earlier. Putting on her panties and pants, Carly avoided eye contact

tightened your scarf. “My mother was very adamant that I was capable of fending for myself.” He kissed each of your hands before helping you slide your gloves on. The shades had long since been drawn on his windows so neither of you could see how tall the snow had piled. Nonetheless, the house seemed to rattle and sway with the force of the gusting, howling wind. “Are you sure that you must leave, I fear the storm will be dangerous to drive home in.” Loki glanced towards the shut door behind you, both of

Common national language has consistently been a fundamental driving force to uphold national bonding all over the globe. This can be recognized by historical examples ranging from those found in Western countries to Asian countries, such as how French was adopted as a means to reunify France as a whole country after the French Revolution and how Korea has made use of a common Korean language to unite the Three Kingdoms and to secure statehood. In this context, ‘common national language’ refers to
