In the little boys mind, the snowman is begging the young boy to come in, like a puppy. He feels the snowman is lonely, cold, and scared in the windstorm, and the young boy is confused as to why the snowman has to stay outside. Little does the boy know that the snowman is content right where he is. In a bit of irony in the second paragraph, the snowman enjoys the cold, knowing that the warm house seals his fate to “die”, or melt. The snowman is “moved to see the youngster cry” knowing the boy doesn’t realize what happens when cold things aren’t kept cold, they go warm and melt.

Like the bell which “jette fidèlement son cri réligeux” the poet’s soul “veut de ses chants peupler l’air froid des nuits”, indicating a desire to express himself and to spread his words and creativity, yet “il arrive souvent que sa voix affaiblie”. His weakened voice is then described as “le râle épais d’un blessé”, which heightens the idea that his soul is broken by showing that he has also been wounded physically. The opening scene describes the warmth of the “feu qui palpite”, acting as a protection against the “amer” winter chill. The use of “palpite”, i.e. the fire metaphorically beating or pulsing like a heart, makes the fire alive.

Puritan writing makes allusions or references to specific passages from the Bible. As you read the sermon, locate the allusions to biblical verses and figures. Answer 2: The simile is "The sovereign pleasure of God, for the present,stays his rough wind; otherwise it would come like a whirlwind, and you would be like the chaff of the summer threshing floor". The metaphor is : "Consider the fearful danger you are in ; it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath".
Percy resorts to a rock loaded snowball to make the final blow on Dunstan, but when Dunstan gets out of the way, the pregnant Mrs. Dempster and her husband Amasa are walking by, and Mary gets hit in the head. She is forced into premature labor, and begins her decline to insanity. As a young boy, Dunstan is especially affected by the snowball incident because he is naïve and takes it upon himself to feel guilty about Mrs. Dempster’s premature labor since Percy apparently does not feel guilty about it. Dunny says that he was “alone in [his] guilt, and it tortured [him].”At one point, Dunny consciously faces the fact that the reason he is so guilty is because Percy refuses to accept responsibility: “His brazen-faced refusal to accept responsibility seemed to deepen my own guilt which had now become the guilt of concealment as well as action.” Dunny says here that he feels guilty for not telling anyone who hit Mrs. Dempster, and also because he was directly and actively involved in the incident whether he had ill intentions or not. Dunny says: “I was contrite and guilty, for I knew the snowball had been meant for me, but the Dempsters did not seem to think that.” He is reflecting on the fact that even though nobody else thought it was his fault,

Hawthorne depicts Brown as a man who takes pride in his faith and his family. Shortly after he starts his journey, he meets with the mysterious traveler with a serpent on his staff.
This creates the feeling that the boy and his father are isolated from the outside world and makes it seem as if they cannot get help. I can understand how scared and afraid they must feel because usually bad things happen in isolated places. A good metaphor that Ho Thien uses is “The father was taken away behind the forest’s green wall”. This makes me feel sympathetic towards the boy and his father because they are separated by a wall of trees so thick and dense that they cannot speak to each other. To create an image of the boy, Ho Thien uses words like “frail” which makes me think that the boy is weak and vulnerable.
