After I read the story "Snow," by Ann Beattie, as the narrator in the story remembers the important time in her life in a country house with her lover. Snow has represented the relationship that she had with her lover in her memory. The lover wouldn’t return to the house and pay his respects to her. Winter is a cold season of the year that everything looks hopeless and sorrowful to the narrator. She has felt a long time for it.

As I read the story''Snow,''by Ann Beattie,I think the author remember the best time in her life with her love,in a country house.In that particular time that narrator has mention in the story,was winter time.It was realy cold and it was snow.I think that even the winter is a cold season in this story it represent the best time in her life,and snow represent the relationship between her and her love.

The story is absolutely beautiful and hypnotizing! The author narrates in a very interesting way, as if she addresses to the man she loved. She does not tell everything in its actual order, but creates the whole story describing different episodes and events that happened that winter. With the help of several strokes of a paintbrush she creates the whole picture of memories. The author does not mention all the details, as if the readers know them already, what makes the story more intimate and warm.

This story is talking what she still remember. These memories are significant. She and her lover have broken up, and she could not let the memory go.She can not forget the memory of her deepest heart.She mentioned snow because it was the period when she broken up with her boyfriend.

That was a lot of things recalled the narrator disastrous love: the house, the winter, the snow,the chipmunk, the death of Allen, the purple grape, etc. She experienced different memory of her love story every time she passed through each. All of those evoked her the same compassionate and romantic feeling, the feeling of being with lover. Furthermore, she appreciated every moment she and her lover had spent. In contrast, her lover did not feel anything at all but his own simple procedure of love. In the bottom of her heart, snow represented not only her preceding unfulfilled love but also something so "white" and hopeless, that she could not risk her heart again.

After reading this story (Snow writen by Ann Beattie), i discern the word " Snow" is too much impeccable in its gist. As a reader, when i become more immersed in the symbolic basis (supporting structure) that illustrates the litterary work, it is absolutely explicit how there is a different aspect of disconnected explanations between the author ( Ann Beattie) and his escort. I do not understand at all the story. Then the grammar structure looks weird. In a word , i dont like this story..... it's kind of boring....

After i read this article " Snow, " by Ann Beattie, I agree with that things as fragile as love can't last. There is not only love is fragile, the relationship between people also is brittle. If we surrive in the place where we don't belong, we just use to it and don't force to against it. There is the best way to handle the relationship with people who around you. On other hand, when we are on the hard situation or face a difficult problem, we can talk about those problem or share how hard situation are you in to our friend. I think that is the good way to release our feelings. It just like the aritcle mention about: so many people visited, and they tell amazing stories to their friend in from of the fireplace in the crazy king snow weather.

As I Read this article ''Snow',by Ann Beattie, As she was growing up she when throw different experienced in her life and old memorys still cames to things that she do or see like the snow,the winter,the death of a old friend,the purple grape,wall being different colors ect.Snow remind her first love or her died friend.

This is a stroy about the narrator, who related her story as if she was speaking to her former lover about the time they shared together. she remerbered every most important details and evens from the day with big snow that they lived in the country house. In my opinion, the chipmunk played a important role in the story. A lot things seem related with it. As the article mention, the chipmunk onece entered their house as thought it had knew the house. I am curious the relationship between the chipmunk and the last ower of the house.

After I read the article "snow"I can feel the protagonist how deep to remember her friend.At a time she saw the snow that could made she remenber he.They're relationship was very deep.seem right now he was not here with she,but she still remember the thing happed between their each other when she see the snow.seem time going very far,a lot thing and lot the people up appear in our life,but w
e never to remember deep like this story.The protagonist used the snow to told us how remember she miss her friend.Even this was a sad story she can told in the beautiful way.
and make the reader remember they're story deeply.

This story is so interesting.The narrator used a beautiful image,the chipmunk.To recall this love story in winter.The chipmunk actually describe the narrator because the chipmunk ran the living room,the house ,and the library,all places were remembered importantly that she and her lover had gone the locations.This also reflects that the narrator still love her lover.She still look forward to restarting her love.

Ann have had sweet memories about a lovely winter with her lover. It was a winter with "knee-deep" in snow. It was snow as much as night can be day because shimmer of snow made people thought that it wasn`t night yet, still daytime.

This story told us the narrator spent the winter and remembered the significant time with her lover in a country.They shared each other.Then they were done.The narrator tried to use something to recall this love.Such as the house ,the chipmunk,and the Allen's death.Specially the snow,whenever is snows,she will recollect her love's experience.This appears the narrator still loves her lover

According to me, In this story, the word 'Snow' means beautiful memories of the past of the author, Ann Betty. All the small things or incidents which happened during the snow time means a lot to Ann. It reminds Ann of her past lover and the the time they spent together. Ann's describing of those chipmunks, the turban incident, Allen's pool, it shows that She remembers even a tiny moment she spent with her past lover. I even think that she doesn't even want to forget those memories. Ann's love for her past lover was extreme. Personally i loved the way she described even small things, it makes reader to imagine the stuff which really happened. Such as, Allen's pool cover collected more and more water until it finally spilled onto the concrete, blooming of those crocuses. It is such a delicate and beautiful story.

In this story the author looks like ley up the word to gave as more clear details which make the story more understood.I think that's what makes this story more intresting.

I think in this story the snow represents the time the lovers spent together. The narrator is trying to say that love doesn't long last, it disappears quickly just like the snow.

After I read I think this article "Snow" respresent the author and her lover's love, even it just a short time, but it was the beautiful. it's unforgettable memories.

I agree with you Babar. Moreover, I think Ann try to show that there are some differences aspects of memories about snow, love. In her memory, snow was so beautiful which linked to the great time they had had together, however, her lover didnt remember that beauty time as much as she does.

In the story " The Snow " the author narrates about a woman who spent a winter with her lover in a house.At the same time, the author tries to reconstruct precisely what happens to this woman during that winter from some details and events from this winter as examples the chipmunk, the gentleman who died in the neighborhood which she was considered more than a friend, when she scraped the wall when she first moved in the house, by the way the neighbors was cleaning the street after the snow fall.

Ms Xiuyun, I don't agree with you when you said she doesn't want to remember the snow. Because, this winter recalls her a lot of great memories, like when she scraped the walls, by founded some of the house's secrets, like wallpaper under wallpaper, when she and her lover painted the kitchen yellow.

The story Snow is deffenatly a Love story. She talks about a big love that she had in the past in this country house. The story is mostly memories that she is having threw stuff that she sees.The author doesnt give many details in the story and that is why i realy like it, I think she just gives the most important details, the ones we need to know that we can understand the way she feels. I think the title "Snow" represents how cold her broken heart is, and that this might have been big love, but it left her cold.

I'm agree with Shahar,I think snow might represent too how cold her broken heart is now after she lost her love.

I agree that the story is very symbolic. it has its own language - language of symbols. White snow represents main character's pure and almost Platonic love for her beloved. Symbol of peace and quietness. For me personally, snow is a kind of oblivion. that woman was in the middle of nowhere in the countryside with the one she loved. the author does not give any time or space references (with the exception that we know that the story is an example of modern American literature), which makes this story even a little mysterious and romantic. and for her lover everything seemed different. even the way he thought the stories should be told shows that he sees everything quite straightforward in black and white colors.
As for the other symbols, such as the chipmunk, the grape, the pile of logs, the forest, all of them create the impression of warmth and cosiness. The fireplace makes the scene look like a fairytale, probably that is the reason that people are willing to tell "amazing stories". Black plastic stretched across the pool, crocuses make the author and the reader feel uncomfortable and sad. The same as the flowers cannot compete with the snow, the author's fragmentary memories cannot be compared with the feelings and happiness she experienced long time ago being with her beloved, because we never can turn back great moments of our life, there can be other good moments, but the same happy times never come back.
i can say that though the general atmosphere of the story is sad, I cannot say that it leaves any depressing impression. it is filled with light melancholy and nostalgia.i
