The Snow Man by Wallace Stevens
This is the poem that I am presenting to the class. I really enjoyed this poem but could not get that goodof a meaning out of it. At first I thought that the poem was just talking about the season of winter. When reading I could not help but totally agree of what the author says about winter. Where you have to get into a mindset of winter, can not think of the negatives, cold wind, to enjoy the aspect of winter. This is totally true, I am not a huge fan of winter I would much rather be in 90 degree weather, but to get through the winter I have to think of how pretty Colorado is when it is winter and not the aspect of the coldness. Where my confusion is presented is the last two stanzas of the poem, all the sudden it kind of feels that the author shifts from talking about winter but maybe about someone or someplace else. The way the author words the last stanza is hard to read but also hard to understand. This poem interests me, probably because I don't understand completely and very interested in what the class has to say.

It seems like we discussed it in 3rd hour and they drew a snowman on the board. :) I'm interested to see what 2nd hour has to say too. Are you presenting next week? Did you already present and I'm losing it? lol
