“Colleen, really? I thought you hated the cold weather,” Rachel laughed as she blew onto her gloved hands, which was difficult due to the scarf wrapped around her throat. “I am half frozen. I am starting to feel like Steve Rogers before they pulled him out of the ice. Can’t we go back to the room?” “We’ll get some mulled wine on the way, come on.” Colleen laughed as she tucked her Ravenclaw scarf around her neck a little tighter. It was true, she hated cold weather, but she wasn’t going to go back to the room when she was once again in her favorite city in the world. She was going to savor every moment that she was in London, even if that meant she was going to get frost bite. “I’m down for wine and some food, if that isn’t too much trouble,” Maison said with a laugh. Being from Wisconsin, the London winter was relatively mild to them. They had also spent a good two hours walking around Camden Market and they had found about two hundred pounds worth of clothes that they wanted to buy. The only reason they hadn’t is they had to figure out a way to get it back on the plane. “Alright, we find a pub and get some food, then we do one more thing before turning in for the night. Come on, this is supposed to be a vacation.” Colleen was far bubblier than either Rachel or Maison had ever seen her.
Colleen and Maison had met in Heathrow the day before, both bleary eyed and sick of being in their respective airplanes for over eight hours. Rachel had meet them at Paddington

“Hunters in the Snow”, by Tobias Wolff, is a short story that revolves around an ill-fated hunting trip between three friends. Wolff is known to be a fantastic writer, who utilizes various literary devices, as well as an exemplary setting description that really sets up the mood of his stories. Although this short story is rife with powerful literary devices, there are four very powerful symbols that I feel are the most relevant to the story. The criteria in choosing these symbols lies solely on how they drove the story, and represented the most pivotal moments. The symbols (In no specific order of significance) are the snow, the “No Hunting” sign, the truck, and the dog.
“It may as well snow,” she said, as she poured herself a cup of coffee. “It’s too cold to do anything.” The only thing Charity like about the colder weather, was that she could cook things ahead of time and store them in the shed outside and they’d not ruin
Footsteps echoed on the brick path as Fiona came around the corner carrying a silver tray with a teapot, two cups on saucers and a box of tissues. Fiona put the tray on the table by the fountain and poured them each a cup. She handed one to Casey. Fiona asked, “Tell me about Kelly? Did she take after her beautiful
That night, Chloe thought about what had happened. She knew that she could fix it, and she had a plan. The weather forecast said that it was going to be pretty warm the next day. “Typical Wisconsin weather.” Chloe thought. But, she was very grateful for the warmer
You let your hair fall loose once your shift was over. It was 4:00pm and dinner was beginning at the restaurant. You pulled your long, fluffed coat on and waved your fellow waitresses off. The coldness outside made your nose turn red almost instantly. There was no snow, just bitter coldness. You shoved your hands in your pockets as you
No, no, I was just getting out of the shower. Sam and I drove all night and I just woke up. Sam ran out to get food and I didn’t hear it ringing until I turned the water off,” Rachel heard something rubbing against the phone, probably the towel drying his hair. “How’s the vacation going? You guys go to Big Ben and meet the Queen?”
’m Constance Edwards, I turn 13 tomorrow, and I have light brown hair with teal eyes, not exactly tall but tall enough. I like mint Oreos, writing, and music. That’s it, I don’t like a lot of things, and however I do dislike everything. I’m awkward, I don’t talk that much, I like being alone but I’m not allowed to be. I’m not really a people person, I have good grades, and I’m kinda like a nerd. Except in those books or movies, the nerd is a really pretty girl who needed a makeover or just needed a different look. I doubt that will happen, I’m not pretty, I’m ugly, I’m not skinny, I’m fat. I’m overweight, not healthy. I live with my parents, my siblings, Katherine, and Aubree moved out a couple of years ago. They were the
The poem “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost is very popular and is mentioned in works such as Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. The poem has a very simple format and seems to have a transparent meaning; however, when you look deeper into the poem, you find that Frost meant something even more complex. Using symbolism and imagery, the overall theme of this poem is disclosed. In this poem, understanding the symbolism is critical in uncovering the theme.
On the way out of the room, Colleen spotted Rachel’s phone on the floor next to the bed. She walked over and picked it up, screen lighting up to show the last text from Dean. Despite herself, she smiled as she plugged in Rachel’s phone. Then she grabbed her phone and slipped out of the room. There was a couple emails from her London publisher that she needed to take care of in the business center, plus she kind of felt as if she was intruding on Maison and Cas. She planned on taking her good sweet time getting that breakfast
It’s a cold winter night in Toronto, Canada and Kaitlyn Jackson and her 6 year old sister Waverly are coming back from seeing Monsters.Inc.3D.
“W-why is it so cold here?” Sharla chattered, “I can’t wait ‘till w-we can be next to the nice cozy fire, eat-ting m-marshmallows, and s’mores..”
The brisk, winter breeze nipped his nose and numbed his face, causing him to shiver. His mom will kill him when he gets home, due to the lack of a scarf, gloves, or a heavy jacket.
You pursed your lips and shook your head, tightening your scarf around yourself. In the warmth of the house, you were quickly growing uncomfortable but you knew once you were outside you would appreciate that warmth of your bundled outerwear. “I can hardly stay the night.”
Living in the bustling city may not be my dream, but it has its benefits. Shops and other amenities are within walking distance and both Alice and I take full advantage of this. As usual, I have no money in my purse for shopping. Even so, the bright sun invites me to join it outside. With no particular route in mind, I point my feet in one direction and commence walking.
