The Minnesota winter is described by Dexter as “shut down like the white lid of a box.” Dexter’s dissatisfaction echoes this, as he yearns for the “glittering things” but is living amongst the plain. Dexter’s dreams, like the lid of a box, shut down and close. After learning of Judy’s marriage and realizing the charm and vitality he was so drawn to and inspired by is gone, his emotions vanish, and his dreams turn into memories. The green, open-spaced golf course days turn into cold, harsh, lonesome ones. Only winter can represent how Dexter’s life changed into a bitter loneliness.
When you read Emerson’s Nature you can feel how perfect he sees things. “He writes things like In the woods we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life”. Then in The Ministers Black Veil it’s like he sees all nature as a scary thing. He states that when he runs outside everything is covered so it’s like he doesn’t see nature for its true beauty.
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.
Later on in the chapter his conditions worsen upon Edmund awaiting his father's turn. Kipps singles himself out as one not to take part in the festivities and be a "old spoilsport". From here on Kipps is seen as a lone hero when wandering out into the outdoors, his senses being overdramatized heightens this. This lone heroic status recurs through the book, and even His desire to be alone sometimes is later contrasted when he thrives for the company to help him complete his business and is pleased of the company of Spider. This early isolation from his family prepares us for later on in the book when he will be truly alone.
Paul has used a lyric and narrative like structure portraying the importance of having family there in Christmas Day. It is an example of informality due to the absence of structural form. There are emphasis techniques throughout the pride which highlIghts the regret and remorse for what Joe has done to get himself in prison. It is not clear to the audience of why Joe is locked away but he stresses how much he has "screwed up". As the piece progresses, the rhyming becomes less frequent and the use of repetition becomes more apparent when Joe says "I'm sorry".
The conflict of this poem was choosing the correct road even when both roads look exactly the same, don’t be scared of one that is less traveled. The speaker resolved this conflict by choosing the road less traveled. In the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” the speaker is talking about stopping in the woods of someone he doesn’t know and watching the woods feel with snow all the while his horse thinks it is awkward to be doing so. The conflict of the poem is the speaker doesn’t want to be seen in the woods and he has miles to go before he can sleep. I don’t think that the conflict was resolved because the speaker still has miles to go to sleep however he did take the time to see the beauty of the snow in the wooded trees.
Brian was not dying in the woods but he did not appreciate it and loved the woods enough to be happy with how he had to live when he was stranded. Brian was happy when they rescued him. Muir in the other hand loved the wild. He even went to Alaska on an expedition. Gifford Pinchot, a conservationist and first Chief of the Forest Service has a different idea of the wild and nature.
He then became completely and utterly unhappy. He was satisfied living in Alaska until he discovered that he was no longer living there by choice. His relationship with the wilderness then began deteriorating with his options. Throughout his life, Chris dreamed of being one with the wild. When he finally arrived to where he deemed to be “wilderness” he described himself as “lost in the wild,” “living amongst the wild” and “walking into the wild,” signifying that he was glad to be there.
At the beginning of the novel, the scene is taken into a forest with plenty of sunshine and a tree promising that life is beautiful. But soon the nature is replaced by a human world that contains jealousy, cruelty, loneliness, ruthlessness, strong and ending emotions, and shattered pieces of dreams.

Unlike other characters like kings and queens, we have little men
The book that I’m reading is Brian’s Winter. It’s the sequel to Hatchet, written by Gary Paulsen. The point of the book is to tell what would happen to Brian If he didn’t get rescued and if he had to endure the long winter to come. In the beginning Brian is living his life in the forest by himself and he is oblivious to the signs around him that summer is ending. It eventually hits him once, fall is almost over.
