A boy and a snowman "A boy outside the window" is a kind poetry exploring the innocent anxiety of childhood. Author Richard Wilbur has made a different view in the two verses and has created some sarcastic surprises that allow readers to think about the harsh reality of winter in a completely new way. By using the word "boy" instead of his specific name, Wilbur suggests that experience experienced by a boy is definitely a common experience. In each section, Wilbur announced a different view of the snowman with the boy, and he also used a health condition and a sad structure for his poetry.

When a boy was born, a woman holding a gun cried outside the window, the air shouted and shooting. The women of the commission raised their wet heads and hugged the covered baby. "Boys will become men," she said. "The boy wants to be a man." She laughed and tears flowed out of her eyes. She remembered everything, and she remembered that she went with the man at the spring meeting two days after they arrived at the ranch. It was also time. Planey was left to take care of his homeland pastures. She was very sad, and one evening he talked about it on a detour at dinner. When others left, Planey and she ate in a big kitchen instead of a two-tier. He is very shy about this, he is looked up to by his dignity.

Nancy crossed the garden and ran to the street. The owner of the garden was watching a golf tournament, and with his eyes he saw a man running a window and a boy. He caught a glimpse and saw a 12-year-old boy jumping on a man and tried to drag him to the ground. The boy fell down and the man continued running. At the same time, Nancy crossed another courtyard through the alley and walked to the lively street, Lovers Lane, on six lanes with two sides. Several young people crossing the street play basketball in the parking lot of Zion Lutheran Church. When they heard the screams of the women, they stopped playing and saw a man chasing her with a gun. One of them later said that he first thought that it was "kidding." 8
