One day, Freddy and Jackie decided to build a snowmen before winter was over. They have never made a snowman before so they were quite excited. Freddy and Jackie’s mother had told them that if they build a snowman, the Easter Bunny eats the carrot noses when the snowmen melts and gives more eggs to find and extra candy to eat! Now they were both really excited to build snowmen. Who wouldn’t want MORE candy?! They put on their snow pants, snow boots, winter coats, mittens, hats, and scarves on and raced each other outside. They had a big yard to build big snowmen. As Jackie began to build her snowman, Freddy started to whine. He couldn’t build a snowman as well as Jackie even though it was her first time as well.

Normally, the Easter Bunny doesn’t give more candy and hide more eggs for children who built snowmen but Jackie and Freddy’s mother told them he did and the Easter Bunny didn’t want to let them down. Easter was coming in two days and the Easter Bunny had some work to do. The snowmen wouldn’t melt quickly enough so he had some of his little helpers come and roll the two snowmen, or what’s left of them, and rolled them deep into the woods away from Freddy’s and Jackie’s house. Of course, he left the scarves, hates, mittens, carrots and hats. Since there were only a few more hours until Easter, the Easter Bunny had to deliver the eggs and candy to children all around the world. He felt incredibly rushed yet excited like every other year. Waiting anxiously for dusk to come, Jackie and Freddy got ready for bed and was hoping what their mom had said was

Snow Falling on Cedars, a novel by David Guterson, is a post World War II drama set in 1954 on the island of San Piedro in Washington State. The story’s focal point is the murder trial of Kabuo Miyamoto, who is accused of killing a fellow islander, Carl Heine, Jr., supposedly because of an old family feud over land. Although the trial is the main focus of the story, Guterson takes the reader back in time through flashbacks to tell a story of forbidden love involving two young islanders, Ishmael Chambers and Hatsue Imada (Kabuo’s future wife). At the time of their romance, interracial relationships were considered strictly taboo because of racial bias. It is through both this love story and Guterson’s remarkable use of setting and imagery that the reader is informed as to why racial prejudice is so high on the island of San Piedro at the time of the trial and why Kabuo is not merely on trial for Carl’s murder, but also for the color of his skin.

Rudolph was soon surrounded by everyone in the North Pole, standing in the middle of a large circle, he tilted his head. “What is going on?” Rudolph asks, clearly confused. They don’t reply, instead they start to sing. “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose.” At first Rudolph was bewildered at first, but soon realized what was going on. His nose abruptly got slightly warm and began to glow a bit, shimmering lightly. “...won’t you guide my sleigh tonight!” everyone continued to sing, cheerfully. The louder they were singing the brighter Rudolph’s nose got. By the end of the song, Rudolph’s nose was blazing intensely at its full potential. All of the North Pole jumped up and exclaimed with joy, “Christmas is saved!” Rudolph smiled widely and thanked everyone, Muffins especially. “How wonderful!” Santa boomed. There was now only a short amount of time until
“The Snow Man”, by , is a written representation of how “one”, we humans, interpret reality different using our imagination and opinions. Reality is what you make of it, if you were to compress this poem into one sentence. As we are provided with two realities, the presence of winter and how the presence of winter is interpreted in our minds. It could be a harsh, bitter winter or tranquil and beautiful. The poem being one sentence, evokes constant thought even though there is a shift midway through. The physical appearance (reality) and mental interpretation (imagination) of winter are balanced to recognize the 2 types of listeners. The first, “would hear a "misery in the sound of the wind, the other listener would hear nothing more than the
She then returned to sucking her thumb and twirling her hair. The teacher then looked at the calendar and said it was Thursday. Zaina said, “Thursday.” The teacher then counted out the days. Zaina initially just watched. When the teacher got to ten, she started to count with the class and counted to 29. The teacher then announced they would play the Lollipop Game. The teacher demonstrated by singing the song and giving out lollipops. When she got to Zaina, she asked if she wanted a lollipop and what color. Zaina answered, “Yes, orange.” The teacher asked her to say, “I would like the orange one” and she repeated this. After the teacher handed her the lollipop she said, “Thank you.” The teacher then handed all the Lollipops to Zaina and asked her to give them out. She sang the Lollipop song as she moved around the circle. She stopped in front of one child and asked, “Would you like one? “What color do you want?” the child requested yellow and she gave it to her. She repeated this two more times. The teacher praised her for knowing and singing the whole song. She gave out two more lollipops and then the teacher asked her to sit down. She complied and watched as other children took
In the snow poems written by Robert Frost, and the other by Ralph Waldo Emerson, there are similarities and differences. There are also forms of imagery and imagination in both. These two poems deal with snow, and imagery plays a big part in both. “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, is different than “The Snowstorm”. One is talking about a lovely snowy evening and the other is a harsh snow storm coming through.
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. The once powdered snow on my head had solidified into a thin layer of ice. I changed out of the soaking wet clothes I was wearing and put on new dry ones. 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.
A few days later, my family were all gathered around for lunch when Emily began questioning me about Santa Claus. She appeared so enthusiastic and happy for Christmas that I did not want to ruin it for her. So I started telling her about The North Pole and the flying reindeers and anything associated with Santa. Deep down, I chastised myself for tricking her, but I thought a little white lie will not hurt anyone. I looked up and my mom gave me “the look”, and I knew that was not a good sign.
