    The Transmutation Of Weather In Tobias Wolff's Hunters In The Snow

    “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff, shows how essential the cold and frigid weather is to the actions of the characters and the situations that they are involved in. Towards the beginning of the story, it seems that Frank and Kenny have established a vigorous relationship leaving Tub out of the relationship. On the day of their hunt, Kenny and Frank left out their companion Tub forcing him to struggle in the heavy snow. The two men utilized the heavy snow to leave behind their friend. As the story continues it seems as if the snow has become a type of correlation with events that happen in the story. The snowy and frigid temperatures allow for the audience to assume a tragedy may occur as Tub shoots Kenny. Nevertheless, Tub and Frank seemed to initiate a relationship through the misfortune of Kenny. The transmutation of climate in Tobias Wolff’s astonishing short story,…

    Comparing The Lifeline By Winslow Homer And Prairie On Fire

    The paintings “The Lifeline” by Winslow Homer and “Prairie on Fire” by Charles Deas are two paintings that really struck out to me as similar. I think Homer’s painting, “The Lifeline”, is a very dramatic painting because of how the lady is just laying there passed out while this brave man is swinging across dangerous waves and rocks to get them to safety. Its very different from looking at in class because you can actually see the texture and brush strokes the artist used. When standing in front of a painting, it almost feels like your there watching this happen. You can see all the different details from the small brush strokes to the large ones, and the effect of light almost makes them look like they are glistening. I selected Charles Deas painting to compare to Homer’s painting because in both paintings a woman is passed out and is…
