Snow day! I saw myself watching TV. I didn’t go outside, because I had no one to play with. At least that’s what I thought. Until my classmate, friend, and next door neighbor, Claire Nelson knocked on my back door. My brother and I looked at each other saying, “What is she doing here?” Well I opened my back door and let her in my house. She asked what we were doing, so I told her my brother and I were just watching TV. “Want to come and play?”, declared Claire. “What are we going to do?”, I honestly asked. “We could go sledding”, she responded. “Okay” So we got ready to go outside in the below freezing weather.

Others still, have a mixed viewpoint and may recognize both the positives and negatives to the season.

    1445 Words  | 3 Pages

    Snow Country written by Yasunari Kawabata, and translated into English by Edward G. Seidensticker is a work of unending complexity. The multiple themes and symbols that occur throughout the plot, make for a novel that transcends its relatively simple plot to make statements on the state of a character’s place within a rapidly modernizing culture that still holds to its most ancient roots. Snow Country is as much about Japanese culture as it is about relationships and the perception of the past and the state of memory. Through small yet profound motifs, Kawabata conveys themes of the fragility of memory, the relationship between the past and the present, and the representation of the old-fashioned rural setting and modern times, as well as a theme of
