Improved Essays
The first 3 months of school have been chaotic. It's December, the month full of sorcery such as flying reindeer and talking, walking snowman. If anything happens this month it will be insane. Every year the school holds an ice sculpting contest between the different classes. Mr. Romilly's class brainstormed earlier and decided that their sculpture is Jack Frost.

The second, and widely accepted, explanation is that Frost was inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, specifically a passage in Canto 32 of Inferno.…

    I believe that friends are one of the themes of the book since there were many places throughout the book, where I noticed how play such a huge role in our lives, and how emotionally attached we are to them.
