Assignment #2: Book I and The Snowman

In reading the rest of Paradise Lost Book I and The Snowman, I was able to
find a connection between the two. Each reading included descriptive details
that made it simple for me to paint a picture in my mind. When reading Book I of
Paradise Lost, I was able to envision Hell through the Hells of the Devil and
his followers. Then, in reading The Snowman I was able to feel the real, bitter
effects of winter through a snowman's perception. The desciptive details from
each piece, assisted in helping me become one with the scene. I have come to
realize that I enjoy a piece better when the author allows the reader to feel a
part of the story. Whether I feel one with the characters or one with the scene,
I find myself more interested and able to understand the story.
