The chapter “...So Does Season” from How Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster demonstrates the use of season associating with characters and the setting.

This quotes foreshadows hardships on the life of the creature because of the on a “dreary night”…

Each of the plants and flowers that make up the sculpture are very realistic and life like. The negative space around the flowers and plants that make up springs face make them look even more realistic. Both sides of the face are fairly…

The culling of white pine on Blackstone Lake began in the late 1880s with the arrival of the Conger Lumber Company. Once the commercially viable pine had been fully exploited the process of stripping hemlock trees of their bark for the leather tanning process began on the lake in the spring of 1900.
