Snow Its funny to think that before today, I had never seen the thing called snow. The giver gave me something called a “memory”. He placed his hands on his back, and I soon felt a new scene engulf me. I was on something that i later knew as a “Sled”, I was going down the slippery hill super fast. I remember the feel of thrill, and joy. If all of the meetings would be like this i couldn't wait, i had hear something had happened to the previous receiver, so i was a bit scared but it was fun. My first day was truly great and i can't wait for more. Sunshine Today I went back for new memories, he once again placed a hand on my back. This time i saw something else. It was something called a “color”, all things have them. I saw a color called The feeling of the sun was pressing against my shoulders and legs. It was beginning to make my skin feel leathery, dry, and it felt like it was cracking. I didn't want to be feeling this anymore, it wasn't fun. I never knew the “sun” could burn someone. I remember moving away from the giver, not wanting this anymore. Even though I knew this was not real, i felt pain after the memory had finished. I walked stiffly to my bike, and rode home from the room, feeling tired and and a bit fed up. I didn't tell my parents about my pain, because they wouldn't understand, plus it wasn't actually Birthdays are sort of like the ceremonies that we have. In this memory there was cake, decorations. And then there was a bunch of people, these people are related and called family. The family is brothers, sisters, moms, dads, uncles, aunts and a whole bunch of other people. The people celebrate getting older with a song, cake and presents. Christmas The giver wanted to give me his favorite memory, it was a time called christmas.

  • Thematic Purpose Behind Snow

    1348 Words  | 3 Pages

    James Joyce is praised for his distinct stylistic purpose and furthermore for his writings in the art of free direct discourse. Though at times his language may seem muddled and incoherent, Joyce adds a single fixture to his narratives that conveys unity and creates meaning in the otherwise arbitrary dialogue. Within the story “The Dead”, the final and most recognizable piece in the collection Dubliners, the symbol of snow expresses a correlation with the central character and shows the drastic transformation of such a dynamic character in Gabriel Conroy. The symbol of snow serves as the catalyst that unifies mankind through the flawed essence of human nature, and shows progression in the narrow mind of Gabriel. Snow conveys the emission of the otherwise superficial thoughts of Gabriel and furthermore allows for the realization of the imperfections encompassed by mankind. Riquelme’s deconstruction of the text allows for the understanding that the story cannot be read in any specific way, but the variance in meaning, as well as understanding depends solely upon the readers’ perspective. Following a personal deconstruction of the text, it is reasonable to agree with Riquelme’s notions, while correspondingly proposing that the symbol of snow represents the flaws, and strengths of Gabriel, as well as the other characters as it effects all equally.

    Christmas was originally supposed to be a celebration of the birthday of Jesus Christ. Modern historians suggest that Christ was actually born sometime in April, but that is hardly the point; the point is that a day on which to celebrate his birth and life was needed, and so one was chosen. During the season surrounding this holiday -- especially since it coincided with that of other, similar holidays -- it was thought right to honor Jesus by acting as he did, i.e., in a kind, generous, and forgiving manner. Out of this sprung the custom of giving gifts to loved ones on this holiday.

    The freezing wind had chilled my hand to the bone. Even as I walked into my cabin, I shivered as if there was an invisible man shaking me. My ears, fingers, toes, and noes had turned into a pale purple, only starting to change color once I had made a fire and bundled myself in blankets like ancient Egyptians would do to their deceased Pharaohs.

With each layer I became more excited to go out and start snowboarding. I headed for the lift with my board and my hand. Each step was a struggle with the thick suit of snow gear I was armored in.
