This physical setting gives the reader a good understanding of how and where the story will follow, in what kind of surroundings. As Ann’s husband leaves to meet his father in this brutal weather, she can’t help but wonder how the day will pass in such lonely atmosphere and complete isolation, while praying and hoping her husband will return soon, “eager and hopeful first; then clenched, rebellious, lonely”.

Therefore, without this setting the purpose of the story wouldn’t have existed. In “The Painted Door” this feeling is excessively repeated from the beginning to the end, stressing vividly on the frosty weather and complete seclusion, “for so fierce now, so insane and dominant did the blizzard seem”.

Thoreau-Observation Paper Living through a harsh winter in Northwestern Ohio, one may find themselves enveloped in a grey cloud of depression and lethargy. Nature, however, has a gentle way of reminding us that life, and the emotions we experience during it, are on a continuously changing path. Just like the sleeping stillness of winter is eventually replaced with springtime’s bursting buds of colorful new life, so too are the dark times in our life exchanged with those of great hope and joy. By closely monitoring nature’s every changing seasons one can be reminded that like our state of mind and emotion, nothing lasts forever. Watching the frantic flurry of snowflakes falling forlornly onto the cold frozen ground, I wondered if the sun would ever shine again.
These people are not real. The stories are fiction. But fiction has truth. How?
