    In Peter Stark’s “As Freezing Persons Recollect the Snow—First Chill—Then Stupor—Then the Letting Go: The Cold Hard Facts of Freezing to Death”, he keeps the reader constantly engaged through his use of perspective and representative writing. As he describes the different stages of hypothermia and an experience of nearly freezing to death, Stark incorporates statistics and intriguing information about the science and biology behind what the cold does to the human body under extreme circumstances. Throughout his writing, he uses the second person perspective to give the reader the point of view as if they were experiencing it firsthand. I found myself completely engaged with the article while reading it, waiting to find out what was going to happen next and what would become of the protagonist. Stark dramatically proves that venturing out in the cold in subzero temperatures is a dangerous…

    In the dramatic, but sadly realistic book Wintergirls, Laurie Halse Anderson tells the story of Lia, an anorexic teenager, after her closest friend Cassie mysteriously dies in a motel room. This engrossing book is suspenseful and breath-taking as Lia and her family take on many challenges and obstacles. More specifically, Wintergirls deals with real world problems such as children actually not eating and cutting themselves because they believe it cures their pain when they don’t even feel safe in their own bodies. This story of the challenges and responses in young teeenagers provides a frequently disturbing but important look into these real-life challenges that kids may go through. I found this story to be extremely sad and a bit disturbing,…

When it is cold and snowy in most places it means that it is winter. Winter has a meaning deeper than just being a season. It stands for death and resentment which plays a great role in this short story. Death is prevalent in this story; Kenny kills a dog then threatens to kill Tub.…

    Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe.
