As you become older, you might lose the memories of the happiness, joy, as well as imagination which made up your childhood.

When you think of Christmas you might think of presents, sharing, peace, amusement, as well as countless other wonderful emotions. The authors carried out their message by describing a snowman who had a “Jolly happy soul…” (1). Imagine yourself during the winter playing around in the snow with all your friends, suddenly a real life snow man that can laugh and play, just like a human can; don’t you wish that could actually happen? (Rollins, Nelson 4) “…he could laugh and play…” That is exactly what the authors wants you to picture, whatever makes you feel radiant. (Rollins, Nelson 6) “Running here and there all around the square”, can make me think of two situations. One that it is extraordinarily fun to play in the snow. It can also make me go into deeper thought and relate that quote to how on Christmas you are always going to so many different places at practically the same times. Whether it is picturing a snow man gleefully running around, or picturing yourself just having fun; the authors have successfully delivered his message of
Doyle’s anecdotes, imagery, and varying sentence lengths allow us to interpret the physical and emotional transformation of snow. Throughout Doyle’s essay, there is the prominent use of anecdotes, allowing the audience to connect with his piece, whether or/ not they have seen snow. His opening: “I met a small girl who told me she had never seen snow.” sets a rhetorical situation. Doyle’s use of a rhetorical situation allows the audience to read from the point of view of a young and curious mind while also presenting his purpose, “snow is inarguable”
“You gonna hunt for me like you do for Papa?” ,Tom Said. In the end, Tom’s father didn’t let him be in the Christmas day hunt but, Tom got a new puppy that they would train to hunt. “I looked at the bird-dog puppy in the basket. All of a sudden Christmas burst inside me like a skyrocket.” All in all, “Christmas
The lights on the christmas tree shone different colors across the faces of the children as they roasted marshmallows in the fireplace. Half empty hot chocolates sat beside them. How the Grinch Stole Christmas played over the television set, not quite drowned out by the children's laughter and discussions of what presents they would be getting the next morning. The man, in this moment, couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful his wife was. The way her nose crinkled up, when she laughed with the children, the way she snuggled closer to him while watching the movie.
It was a very merry day in London on December 25, 1853 as the village was filled with laughter and joy as families all around celebrated the ecstatic holiday of Christmas together. Wherever you went you would see people of all nature without a morose (p. 5) attitude celebrating with family, even the most unlikely businessman who the town knew as Ebenezer Scrooge. After the visit from the spirits who helped Scrooge realize it was time to give up his grumpy personality, he was a new man who followed one general precept (p. 51) which was to honor Christmas and gave every inch of his soul to make sure it was enjoyed by everyone as he loved to see the jovial (p. 26) expressions of joyous children and adults which was brought by the holiday.

In A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens the passage that appears as a necessary part of the novel in order to understand the theme includes details that also contribute to the better understanding of the character. This passage acted as a description of Scrooge, how he presented himself, and the way people saw him. In the novel Dickens uses metaphors and alliteration to help the reader understand the Scrooge’s transformation throughout the novel. Dickens writes, “No warmth could warm, nor wintry weather chill him” when reading that, a reader thinks of Scrooge being in or around the warmest weather and still not able to warm himself, they may also picture him in the coldest weather and not freezing to death.
The biographical novel Winterdance, written by Gary Paulsen, composed in 1994, is based on the author’s experiences in both training for and running in the Iditarod dog sled race, held in Alaska, in obscure and extreme conditions where your eyeballs could potentially freeze.

However, it is difficult to define what the “night” means to the speaker at the beginning. In this stanza, the narrator walks in the rain and see the city light. The narrator wanders in the night, feeling that he is isolated from the world, despite the fact that he is in the city. The rhyme in the first stanza is obvious because the narrator starts five lines with the same pattern “I have”. Frost uses the first person perspective in order to emphasize the narrator’s loneliness.
This literary device means that their is Christmas sprinter all around the city and nothing is going to put you
As I sit in class, trying my hardest to pay attention to jumble of scientific words my chemistry professor is lecturing us about, my mind drifts away to a song. The song, today, being Cold, Cold Man by St. Motel and all I can focus on is the movie clip that is playing out in my head. I image the song starting out with the image of a car driving out of a Midwest city, the frame zooming out when you see the car making its journey across the country. The frame then zooms in on the car as the background fades into a city when vocals come in. When the song gets to the refrain, I see the frame zooming in on the driver of the car as it gets deeper into the heart of the city.
In ‘A Christmas Carol’, Dickens presents Ignorance and Want in a metaphorical fashion, depicting them as children. This is done in such a manner as to shock and appall the reader, leading to greater emotional investment. Throughout the extract’s entirety, Ignorance and Want are depicted as children, increasing the atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds them. Dickens describes the manner in which the Ghost of Christmas Present “brought two children” – by describing Ignorance and Want as “children”, Dickens creates the impression of innocence, vulnerability, and weakness.
In the story, “Marigolds”, the author, Eugenia Collier uses imagery, diction and connotation in deep way. One example is of connotation is “... how thick were the bars of our cage”.

This shows how she and her friends would run around and play together.
Imagery and texts have been wonderfully portrayed and and were also combined in a way that has made this great story a well written understandable text as a result of the imagery it
Dr. Seuss’ poem, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” can be analyzed using many different schools of criticism, however, the psychoanalytical school of criticism holds allows us to truly understand the “true meaning” behind the poem. The poem begins with a socially isolated character, the Grinch, who loathes Christmas and wishes to completely destroy it. He wants to completely eliminate Christmas from “Whoville.” The Grinch gets irritated whenever when he hears the singing from the children and sees families feasting together in the holiday season. However, as the poem progress, the Grinch starts to feel the love and happiness involved with Christmas and ends up correcting his wrongdoings to ultimately enjoy Christmas with the “Whos.”
The descriptive short sentence of the setting being during “A winter day,” again emphasizes the normalcy of the situation, as well as hinting that the setting of the story takes place around Christmas time. The
