Shelley Winters

Starkfield has been taken over by the winters. An example of this imagery is, “The wild cavalry of the March winds” (4). Wharton uses this specific metaphor to make the reader aware that winter controls Starkfield by calling the winds wild cavalry. Winter also brings down the mood of the townspeople, because it ruins their land. The land and any crop someone is trying to grow is frozen come winter time and by the time it has thawed out and can be used again the winter is well on its way to…

“Left to Imagination” Introduction {get attention} In their poems “Junk Car in the Snow” and “Burning the Hornet’s Nest” both poets Ron Rash and Robert Morgan describe to readers what it was like to be raised in the southern Appalachian Mountains as a child throughout seasons of life. Both poets Rash and Morgan were natives to the land of southwest North Carolina and created poems that would allow readers to interpret what life was like for these two growing up in the Appalachian Mountains. The…

beautiful, but fleeting by using a somber, enlightening theme. In Nothing Gold Can Stay, Frost outlines how Nature is fleeting and does not last forever. It awakens in spring, reaches its peak in summer, and starts to fade in autumn, and finally sleeps in winter. He uses a calm and probing tone to illustrate the cycle of life and death. Frost uses Symbolism as an important literary device to showcase the fragility of nature.…

Harmon Grow, and he tries to get more information about Ethan from him. One thing he said stuck with him forever, “Guess he’s been in Starkfield too many winters. Most of the smart ones get away.” (Wharton, 9). At first, he doesn’t understand what this meant. However, as he spent more time in Starkfield, he realized that Ethan had spent too many winters there; this ultimately shaped the…

Pride & Charity in Winter’s Bone Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone tells a story about a young girl, Ree that is trying to find her lost dad to save her family and their house. She does so with great pride and courage and rejects showing weakness. I assert that not asking for help and showing pride is a positive strategy because it ensures that Ree keeps her self-respect since asking for help is a sign of weakness as pride and self-respect is very important in the Ozarks. This attitude in the…

My favorite season is winter the reason why I like winter is because it’s cold out and it snows. Winter is fun because when its snows us kids get out of school and get to go outside hang out with friends and play on four wheelers and sleds. If you don’t like the cold you can stay inside and rap up in blankets and watch movies. Winter is the best time to drink hot chocolate it keeps you warm and it so well, and the snow on the trees looks beautiful. Winter is a time for Christmas and lots of…

very cold, and Carl Hoffman has noted that in his hotel there was no hot water coming. So how did Carl Hoffman was talking bath with the cold water? Don't he get sick because he was bathing with the cold water in winter? I really think that the hotel should provide hot water in a winter season. I found the journey of Carl Hoffman and the truck driver, Tsedee interesting because the way he was describing the road and his surrounding was so cool. His journey was so long, thirty-six hours drive it…

For my animal performance scene I was a reindeer. The biggest strengths that I had for my scene was my movement, portrayal of eating, and display of the prey-like nature of a reindeer. During research I learned that a reindeer walks heavily but also spry. I properly conveyed this concept in my scene by leaping from leg to leg, making sure to lead with my knees when I was in the air and to place my weight on my leading foot when I landed. Since reindeer eat grass and shrubs that is often buried…

bleakness of winter can sometimes cause people to experience the winter blues. These people fall into a state of melancholy, and sometimes even depression, because of the cold gloominess that an Idaho winter can bring. If you were to compare people to birds, most birds are miserable in Idaho during the winter. When temperatures start dropping they retreat to warmer weather where they are more comfortable. Like birds, some people migrate south for several months to avoid the bitter cold Idaho…
