Have you ever read the story of Snow Image written by the great American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne? If not, please make time for it. I promise that it is worthwhile for you to read. Why?
 
Firstly, the story of Snow Image is intriguing for its delicate and detailed description.For instance, as we read the first few parts, we may feel as if we were setting aside the mother of Violet and Peony, looking at the exceedingly pleasant sight when both bright little souls made the lovely snow-image with our own eyes. In the story, the author vividly describes the dialogues between family members rather than tell the story in his own perspective all the way. Readers can judge from their dialogues to learn more about each family member. Also, there is a plenty of wonderful description of characters’ psychological activity, landscapes and actions. Readers can really enjoy themselves in the novel.
 
Secondly, the language and plot in the story are simple yet full of humor, wit and imagination. No matter for the senior high school students or for college English professors, it is interesting to read. Reader can share the childhood innocence and the pure laughter and rich imagination of Violet and Peony. They can be easily brought back to their carefree childhood and would like to believe that miracles will happen. The novel leaves lots of room for imagination. That is what makes Snow Image great.
 
Thirdly, the author tells us a great truth with a simple, funny and thought-provoking story. Here, I want to focus on the author’s smart plot arrangement. At the beginning, we could clearly observe how the snow image was made by two smart children. In the middle, we got to know how the miracle happened after Peony and little snow-sister kissed each other. The snow-image really came to life! In the end, the snow-sister was finally ruined by the common-sensible and stubborn father, for he gave snow-sister the warm bread and milk and had a good thick shawl to wrap the snow-sister in. It was terrible that the cute snow-sister melted. In fact, the author tries to indicate to us that the common sense sometimes finds itself at fault in the novel.
 
Of course, I have learned much more than what I just mention above. It is really a classic literary works in my heart. I love it!
