“Leaving alien miles unleashed and unrestrained. Watching the hurricane of writhing snow rage past the little house” (234). She was overpowered by the storm which left her planted in the freezing drifts in which Steven arrived. Now Ann can relax as there is someone to do the chores and keep her company, but in a short amount of time this changes. Steven turns into a awful man who knows he has the advantage of Ann for the night, “but in a storm like this you are not expecting john?” (236).
Trapped by Michael Northrop When school closes early because of the snow coming down, Scott and his friends decide to take advantage of the extra time to work on a go-kart they've been building in shop class. But with nearly everyone else having left the school, and the snow coming down faster and faster, they realise they may have made a terrible mistake. So begins a chilling (sorry!) tale, which sees seven students struggle to hold on as the weather gets ever worse. I normally don't comment on the presentation of novels, but have to make an exception here because Trapped really is superb in that respect.
"It was very icy under my car. That's why my car is still there." Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut closed roads to all but essential traffic. Some of the worst of the storm appeared to hit Connecticut, where even emergency responders found themselves stuck on highways all night. In the shoreline community of Fairfield, police and firefighters could not come in to work, so the overnight shift was staying on duty, said First Selectman Michael Tetreau.
The blizzard was so unexpected considering the warm weather that morning. Children left for school without overcoats or gloves, which later served them their own life. The blizzard hit in Nebraska and the Dakota Territory as children were leaving for school. The blizzard was known as “the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard” because so many children were killed on their way home from school. In three minutes, the temperature had dropped eighteen degrees.
Death is everywhere in Starkfield. If I had to relate it to any of the characters, I would say Zeena, only because she is so sick throughout the book. Also, we know from the beginning of the book that some tragedy happens to the Frome family but we aren’t sure until the last few chapters of the book. So, the prologue sets a feeling of possible death for the whole book. Before the accident when Mattie and Ethan enter the house, Wharton describes the kitchen as “the deadly chill of a vault after the dry cold of the night.” I think this image is appropriate for the experiences of the years following Ethan and Mattie’s accident.

.................... English 211x ..................... 24 October 2011 Imagery Within the Palace of Artificial Snows In the story “Lady Yeti and the Palace of Artificial Snows”, imagery is what creates the illusion within the story. Karen Russell creates this illusion by using descriptive images to describe what happens during the Blizzard, which points the imagination towards a chaotic, calming place. When Badger and Reggie first start witnessing the Blizzard, they are only observing and not taking part in what is happening. Reggie then describes what he is seeing: “Most of the adults were spinning in excitable circles, orbiting one another, sliding forward, colliding, collapsing -- then skating quickly back to the snow fans, to hide beneath the starry blasts of snow” (Russell; pg 143). Here are adults just letting go and having fun with not a care in the world.
ENC 1102 Professor V Minchener Student Jose Jose Guillermo Macias Date 2/7/2012 The Use of Force Based on the details revealed by the writer throughout the story, a reader could picture a home that was surrounded of cold weather where not too many good events were occurring. It is not difficult to determine that the environment at the time that the doctor arrived was negative. The weather was definitely extreme, the communication among the individuals that interacted during the story was rough, and the approach of the doctor to comments and behaviors of the Olson family was not the best. One of the first impression gather from any reader is the cold weather. At the time that the mother welcomed the doctor, the first thing she mentioned was the location where they were holding their child.
We walked up the steps and began the tour. We walked the dark frigid halls of the ancient fortress and were struck by gusts of cold air that apparently came from nowhere. We then were given a few hours to explore in small groups, but we were given strict orders to STICK TOGETHER! Being an arrogant child I disregarded these warnings and wondered off with Vladamir and my girlfriend Tanya. We just wondered the halls and finally we found ourselves in front of a heavy ancient wooden door.
On the other hand, “Catching Fire’s” setting was placed in the winter time with a dark and gloomy society. Usually, when a person thinks about cold and winter, the setting is thought of as full of death because of the dull surroundings. In the novel, the setting is described when Katniss states, “I push aside the curtains and see the snowstorm has strengthened to a full-out blizzard. There’s nothing but whiteness and the howling wind that sounds remarkably like the mutations” (Collins 121). As it is clearly seen above, the setting in “The Lottery” uses situational irony, whereas in “Catching Fire”, the setting is very
