One moment the sky was growing a little grey, and the next thing you know you were surrounded by snow and stunning winds. The main reason this blizzard was unmistakingly deadly was because of its powerful winds, which would blow snow and ice into people’s faces, and the chilling temperatures of 40 below. People caught outside would have their nostrils and eyelids sealed shut by ice, their skin would tear open if they rubbed the ice off too much, and eventually their limbs would become frozen and lifeless. To sum it up, the people caught outside were at the mercy of the storm’s relentless force. David Laskin’s
It was a cool afternoon in the frosty month of January, the time was around 5:30 pm and my dad just dropped me off at the Snow Valley hill in his black Mitsubishi Lancer. I took my blueish green Burton Custom snowboard from the back of the car, grabbed my helmet, gloves, jacket and snowpants and went to the bottom of the hill. There, I placed my board on the soft snow and put on my
The exploration of space, while the seeming pinnacle of human exploration, has been shown to be quite dangerous. From the explosion of the Challenger to the cinematic portrayals of endless possible incidents, there are few things more hazardous than braving the infamous “Final Frontier.” Because of the danger posed by space exploration, there must exist a code to follow to ensure a desired balance between safety and progress. Tom Godwin’s Cold Equations has been described as “the best SF short story ever written, it is a virtuoso performance, a story set in a future so distant and different that we can only glimpse it in mysterious reflections and intriguing images” (qtd. Benford 217). First published in 1954, the beginning of the Space

I really liked the story because is a consciousness description of Granny Weatherall's thoughts on her deathbed, focusing particularly on her being jilted at the altar when she was a young woman. It seems clear that Granny has never really gotten over the incident even though she tells herself otherwise. She has kept it hidden from her children, and the shame and sorrow of the incident loom large in her final thoughts. Granny is so focused on her abandonment that she lets it overshadow the enormous self-reliance she has developed in her life. In the end, she feels abandoned by God in death just as she felt abandoned by her fiancé in life, but the evidence in the story suggests she is not alone at all. Saviors; Granny is clear that God is her
In the story My Mother, the idea of money is looked at to be what makes a person happy in life. The mother in the story did not want her son to become an artist because she did not think that artist make very good money.

This quote by Capote illustrates his technique of engaging his readers by creating a fertile ground in which a story can grow. Just as a farmer manipulates the field to ensure crops grow, Capote similarly manipulates the mind of the reader. He gathers information and compiles it to present a story to the readers and then allows the reader to interpret the novel. Although some argue that In Cold Blood is simply a factual recounting of the brutal murders of the Clutter family, in reality the novel is a compilation of the varying perceptions of those involved—Capote, the towns people, law enforcement, and the reader. Despite the fact that history repeats itself, cultural influences are always changing thus causing the murder to be interpreted
Mother tends to blame the actions of Muggs on other people. Mother always argued in Muggs favor. In paragraph 4 it says, “Mother always mentioned that as an argument in his favor; she said he had a quick temper but that he didn 't hold a grudge. She was forever defending him. I think she liked him because he wasn 't well. "He 's not strong," she would say, pityingly, but that was inaccurate; he may not have been well, but he was terribly strong.” She is saying that everyone makes him mad, but he gets over it quickly.

He walks up to the front door and knocks three times.
In the case of the Freezing Man the context of his situation would have probably lead to him not freezing to death. Though without context a near naked, blood covered man would not be someone anyone would think twice about helping due their culture and beliefs that that kind of a person should not be trusted, that is without context. If the people this man tried to get help from knew him and knew his situation they may have helped him instead of never answering their door and leaving the man to freeze. Say for example the man had just gotten away from an abduction and had been beaten and striped by his abductor. The people inside the house may have gone to help the man rather than what they did given their knowledge of the
