The Contributions of “Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyl” to American Literature

In the 19th century after the devastating American civil war, the writer John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a long poem to tackle personal and national problems. Whittier wants his songs to sew the violent wounds left by the civil war. When writing his work, Whittier noticed that reminding the good times of the past to help rebuild his fragile country; his poem "Snowbound: Winter Ideas" His career to achieve.

"Snowbound: pastoral of winter" is an idyllic environment, another form of popular literary work. "Snowbound: pastoralis in winter" tells us how farmers live and have difficult times. As the romantic era of America was adventure, trying to do new things, or doing it, this poem explains what it is during a snowstorm and how they treat it To do. Since many people have not experienced the pleasure of seeding storms, this poem gives them the opportunity to understand how it looks.

The idyllic winter, wrapped in silver, is about Whittier spent on the farm. He lists their housework activities and what they have to do to kill time; children carry trees, sprinkle the straw, nourish the straw, feed the horses, use the cows, and feed the cows. He explained the storm all night. Looking at the frosted glass window, looking at the post's seat, it looks like a tall, thin, ghost. There is no sign of the sun in the morning, there is no cloud in the sky, the ground is covered with white snow. Mr. Whittier also said that the sweep (a long bar with a bucket) is full of snow and should overlook it. The boy wore winter clothes and went to the barn for his father. The wind blew north and the church bell rang. Finally, Whittier explains that apples and nuts are being burned with direct flame.

One of my favorite American exaggerations is the winter that Paul Bunyan painted. "Winter was too cold All the goose flew backwards All the fish moved to the south and even the snow turned blue It became cold so talk before everyone talks , The words froze, people had to wait until the sunrise to know what they were talking about the night before. There is no reliable route to cacozelia beyond any reason. I feel that many of the mistakes caused by metaphor are undesirable, especially because they are unfamiliar or unambiguous, as this reminds the reader that the exaggeration is a liar is enough.
