Word count 860 so far My mom sat beside me as I recovered from surgery. I could tell something serious was being conveyed. I watched tears begin to stream down her face as she spoke on the phone.

title of this story - the aspect of snow suggests purity that audiences have come to associate with the colour white whilst the word ‘child’ suggests the innocence that can only be possessed by children so young.

The attack has luckily failed. The main conflict of the entire film is caused by Vianne’s presence and beliefs that are not welcome in the town. It is then the Counts problem to deal with her. They start a boycott on immorality in an attempt to stop people like Roux from buying from Viannes shop, and to try and make her bankrupt.

"Schubert, the colonel of the Pavlograd Hussars, is dining with us today. He has been here on leave and is taking Nicholas back with him.
