The short story “What Happened During the Ice Storm” utilizes two major literary elements; one of which expresses a current social issue. The author, Jim Heynen, employes allegory and imagery to represent charity and self-sacrifice. Imagery is often used in this short story to create a somber tone, for instance “most animals were safe… But not the pheasants” and ”The boys stood still in the icy rain.

Life, and especially nature, is associated with cycles. Biota is constantly going through a cycle of birth, procreation, and death. Earth is constantly experiencing mass extinctions, with five already in its history. Even basic cycles like photosynthesis exist and allow plants to create the energy they need. Perhaps the best-known cycle to much of the public, however, is the annual cycle of seasons.

When the wind begins to nip at your face, when the sky becomes a light grey, when all life seems to be hidden away, one knows that there is a high chance of snow.
