A Fathers Impact “It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father” (John XXIII). The stories “Powder” and “Reunion” have many similarities and differences. The short story “Powder,” by Tobias Wolff is about a father who got to spend quality time skiing with his son after he fought for the privilege to see him. Though he had a limited amount of time to spend with his son, for they had to be back at his wife’s house for Christmas Eve dinner, he learned to savor every minute he got with his son. “Reunion” by John Cheever is a short story about Charlie who hasn’t seen his father since his parents’ divorce.

Although Gene almost falls off, Finney catches him and saves Gene’s life, but he “practically lost it” too (Knowles 33). Similarly, Neil is the one to show Mr. Keating his old yearbook since everyone else wouldn’t do it. Because Neil showed him it, they found out about the Dead Poets’ Society, which leads Mr. Keating to lose his job. Since Finney and Neil are so sure what they want to do, it is impossible for them to comprehend what other people want as well. For example, Finney is so confident in himself, that he wears a pink shirt that makes him “look like a fairy,” and he talks boldly about
He refused to have the poem published despite its enthusiastic reception by everyone who read it. Evidently his argument that it was beneath his dignity fell on deaf ears, because the following Christmas "A Visit from St. Nicholas" found its way into the mass media after all when a family member cunningly submitted it to an out-of-town newpaper.

Most of the Santa art of the past featured Santa as the main subject. However, as the years continued, Santa plays an important part of the Christmas scene, but elves, children, pets and toys also have significant roles.

I hate when you find a neat project or picture on Pinterest and click it to find out it's just a bogus/fake post with no description or instructions! Ugh! While I started Hubbing before I became obsessed with Pinterest, I kept Hubbing and sort of found my crafting and cooking niche because I was happy to share with anyone who was interested. A Christmas movie serves as a soundtrack while the tree is twinkling and sparkling in the background.

While Pheobe was riding the carousel Holden talks about how happy it made him to watch his little sister so calm and innocent looking while riding on the carousel. This seems to be the only place in the entire story when Holden is actually happy for a few moments where he says he is, "damn near bawling." At this moment he also realizes a few things such as that he is not going to run away like he had been planning and that maybe growing up isn’t the worst thing in the world like he had thought all along. In The Catcher in the Rye there are a lot of different things that symbolize different meanings. Although these are just three, these three are some of the most important ones in the novel because they are the most commonly used that never just completely go away, the reoccur more then
