Abstract
A review of the essay by Tobias Wolff 'Hunters in the Snow" which provides an analysis of the thesis: "When concentrating on the conversation that takes place between the men the reader realizes that underneath all the friendship there is a cruelness of words that cuts to the deep as the men flaunt the others weaknesses and seem to be ignorant of the effect that the words will have on the emotional state of the other."

Abstract
This paper examines the novel "Hunters in the Snow" by Tobias Wolff. The author looks at the main themes in the novel and examines the characters and the experiences they undergo.
From the paper:
"In Tobias Wolff?s short story, ?Hunters in the Snow?, the author depicts three men who on the surface appear to be congenial hunting buddies. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that there is more than friendship in their relationship. There is a simmering resentment of each other that seems to be highlighted amidst the appropriate setting of the cold, bleak winter season. The cavalier attitude of these men and the effect of their words targeted at each others weak points makes for a rather perverse realization that under these men?s simple visages lies a cruel complexity of human nature, which is as frigid as the snow on the ground."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poem ?Dust of Snow? by Robert Frost. It uses it as an example of how Frost's poems in general capture a fleeting picture of a natural event and how these events are described in very simple words, without flowery or elaborate language, using plain verse structures. It analyzes the style of the poem stanza by stanza and then compares it to it's parody, Bob McKenty?s ?Snow on Frost? which makes fun of Frost's earthiness, realism and ironic humor by echoing both Frost?s words and images and the structure of the poem itself.
From the Paper
"In the first stanza, Frost captures a moment that might have been observed while taking a walk in the country in winter. The description is so stripped of detail that it is up to us to visualize the black bird in the dark evergreen tree, dislodging a sprinkling of white snow when it alights or takes off from the branch, perhaps disturbed by the human?s approach. But because the poet specifies that the bird is a crow and the tree is a hemlock, other layers of meaning can be inferred at a symbolic level. The crow is typically seen as a somewhat negative creature (unlike the robin, for example), perhaps even as a bad omen."

From the Paper
"What would it say to the women in society if a very feminine-like person was a top executive, the makers probably asked themselves? It would make all of the homemakers, the masculine and feminine, go out and think they could get a job and rise to the top. Moreover, having a feminine-like person as an executive, according to the filmmakers would be very bad. I am very glad to see that today, women are not thought of as just homemakers anymore. People are beginning to value women at home and in the workplace. The only question I want to ask is what took so long?"

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of policing and corrections, with a specific focus on bounty hunters. The writer examines whether bounty hunters have too much power. The paper describes bounty hunters as an effective element of the bail bond process and explains that studies show that bounty hunters help keep non-compliant offenders to a minimum. The paper concludes that bounty hunters indeed have powers ordinary citizens do not enjoy, yet they are a vital part of the criminal justice system.
From the Paper
"Many studies indicate the importance of bounty hunters in the bail bond system. Author Reynolds notes, "Only 15 percent of felony defendants released on surety bonds initially failed to appear in court versus failure rates of 26 percent for those released on their own recognizance and 42 percent released on unsecured bonds, according to a 1992 Department of Justice study of the seventy-five largest counties" (Reynolds, 2002, p. 120). In addition, only three percent of suspects are fugitives one year of their release to a bondsman, while over 9 percent remain fugitives if they are released on their own recognizance, and 19 percent remain fugitives if they are released without a security bond (Reynolds, 2002, p. 120). Thus, the bonding process ensures more criminals come to trial, and the bounty hunters are a major reason for this success."

This paper argues that sportsmen are vital for the control of wild animal populations and contribute more to conservation of wild animals than anyone else. The writer brings evidence that because agencies, such as the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), and federal taxes, such as the Pittman-Robertson Act, endangered species are being protected, and sportsmen are preserving the environment for future generations.
Contents
Introduction
Hunting and Fishing are Positive Ways to Manage Wildlife Populations
Sportsmen Often Contribute More to Conservation than Non-sportsmen
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Due to the evolution of man and the wide availability of food to people in America, hunting is no longer a necessity for life. Man has also developed a sense of caring and compassion for creatures other than themselves. However, due to the expansion of human cities and towns, wild animals are being forced into smaller and smaller areas, which creates competition for food and for space. Thanks to the development of Wildlife Management Areas, or WMA?s, wild animals can roam free and not have to compete for space and food. WMA?s were created because people who didn?t regularly see much wildlife and people who really cared for the wildlife wanted a way to preserve some of the wilderness out of care for the animals and for the enjoyment of other people. Local and state governments usually control WMA?s although there are private plots of land usually owned and controlled by farmers that serve as Wildlife Management Areas as well. Many people argue that since WMA?s are intended to protect the animals, then hunting should not be allowed inside an area designated as a WMA. However, over the last 100 years, it has been proven that some hunting is necessary to maintain healthy populations within the WMA?s. The management areas, overall, are pretty small areas of land. Just like the way that we can only have so many people living in one area before things become competitive and the government has to step in, we must have a way to control the animal populations inside the WMA?s. The most humane way of doing so is by allowing hunters into the WMA?s to take a controlled number of specific animals."

Snow Imagery, 2004.
This paper compares the use of snow imagery in ?Snow Country? by Yasunari Kawabata and ?The Dead? by James Joyce, especially the latent or implied meanings embedded in each snow image.

Abstract
This paper explains that the use of imagery in literature, especially novels, is an effective tool, whereby a writer?s thoughts can be conveyed more efficiently than by only using simple description. The author points out that, in ?Snow Country? and ?The Dead,? there are three similarities in the way the authors used snow imagery: To describe vividly the settings, to set the mood for the gloomy and sad resolutions of the characters, and to serve as a ?memory? of their lost loves. The paper concludes that there is one difference: Kawabata uses snow imagery as a tool for characterizing Komako, while Joyce uses snow as a symbol for the impending deaths of Miss Kate and Julia and the death of his love for Gretta.
From the Paper
"The use of snow implies coldness and darkness, which is compatible to the feelings that Shimamura and Komako felt when they met in ?Snow Country.? Shimamura?s dissatisfaction with life and Komako?s unfortunate life lead them to lead a gloomy life, intensified by the mood of the environment they are in (in the ?snow country?). Meanwhile, snow imagery becomes effective in ?The Dead? as an impending gloom and threat to Gabriel Conroy for his loved ones, particularly his aunts and his wife, Gretta. The snow that the characters of both stories experience and witness echo their inner feelings and thoughts about their life, which is generally gloomy and somewhat mysteriously still."

Snow Leopards, 2007.
An analysis of snow leopards and the danger they face of extinction.
1,683 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper offers a vivid description of snow leopards, a medium-sized member of the wild cat family. The paper details the three main factors that make it difficult for snow leopards to survive today; human hunters want their beautiful coats, the animals' bones and body parts are popular requirements for traditional Chinese medicine and their natural prey and habitat have been depleted through hunting and poisoning. The paper discusses their habitat and relates the ecological disaster that would happen if snow leopards were to become extinct. The paper concludes that the snow leopard shows how working together, rather than willfully slaughtering for one's own gain, can ultimately benefit not only the environment, but also the human beings and animals living in it.
From the Paper
"Snow leopards are considered a medium-sized member of the wild cat family. Their height to the shoulder comes to about 24 inches and their weight ranges between 60 and 120 lbs. the animal is 47-59 inches long and its tail 31 to 39 inches. What makes the animals unique is not only their lovely coat, but also the fact that, unlike other wild cats, they neither purr nor roar. Instead, it makes a sound that could be described as "happy", which is similar to the chuffing sound made by tigers. They are excellently adapted for steep, high, rocky areas with chests that are well developed, short forelimbs, long hind limbs, large paws and a long, thick tail."

From the Paper
"Snowflake Factors which affect snowflake formation include temperature, air, currents, humidity, which affect the size and shape of snowflakes and dirt and pollutants mixed in water which affect the crystal weight and durability in snow. Dirt particles make the snowflakes heavier which causes cracks and breaks in the crystals and make the snow melt more easily. In general snowflakes which are six-sided hexagonal shapes and are formed in high clouds, needles or ... "

?Snow White?, 2004.
An analysis of the original tale of "Snow White" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.

Abstract
This paper examines how Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm?s "Kinder und Hausm?rchen" (Children's and Household Tales), published in 1812, is one of the most recognized and influential books ever circulated in German and how, today, these classic fairy tales are still told to children around the world. In particular, it looks at one of the tales that has endured many changes since the original was written, "Snow White". It discusses how, although modernizations of "Snow White" have become distorted from the original Brothers Grimm version, "Snow White" in all its forms continues to be recognized as one of the greatest fairy tales in history; it transcends the bounds of time and culture to remain a popular and relevant tale to both children and adults alike today. It also looks at how although "Snow White" can be considered an important part of German history and can be analyzed to find hidden meanings, sometimes it must be viewed the way a child sees it ? as a magical fairy tale.
From the Paper
"Because of the symbolism hidden throughout the story, various aspects of Snow White can be interpreted in many different ways. Although nothing is told about her relationship with her father, it can reasonably be assumed that it is ?competition for him which sets stepmother against daughter? (Bettelheim 203). The Queen seeks reassurance in the mirror by asking it regularly ?Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who in this land is fairest of all??(Grimm 2). She equates beauty and desirability with worth. When the mirror unexpectedly answers, ?You, my queen, are fair; it is true. But Little Snow-White is still A thousand times fairer than you?, the Queen instantly feels threatened by her youthful and innocent daughter."

Egalitarianism in Hunter-Gatherer Societies, 2002.
A comparative analysis of the question of egalitarianism in hunter-gatherer societies.

Abstract
This paper will examine the question of the egalitarian structure of hunter-gatherer societies from a comparative perspective. It will be argued that variations between the egalitarianism of hunter-gatherer societies, traditionally seen as simply a matter of economics, may also be the result of cultural factors. While peoples of different cultures, in different environments, will necessarily define the division of labour and the distribution of resources in different fashions, the persistent signs of egalitarianism in hunter-gatherers in all regions and historical eras is a puzzle that demands closer study.

Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the scavenging of atmospheric organic contaminants from precipitation, specifically snow and rain. The paper also determined and quantified, from scavenging, the amount of polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in snow and rain. Snow scavenging of organic contaminants was being studied because little is known about this phenomenon and a large amount of precipitation, which occurs in North America, occurs in the form of snow. By studying the various precipitation the researchers were able to observe snow scavenging, the gas scavenging abilities of rain and the particle scavenging abilities of both rain and snow.

"Driving in the Snow
Driving in the snow is no walk in the park; but I guess that?s obvious considering that one involves driving and the other walking. It?s more like walking in Needle Park in the 70?s at about 2 in the morning; very dangerous. There are definitely a few guidelines you must follow to survive.
Go slow. It doesn't matter if you've got snow tires, chains, or studded tires on your vehicle. Slow down to 10 or 15 mph. Always remember that too many other drivers don't know how to drive on snow and think that special tires or chains allow them to drive at the speed limit. Hills are killers, whether you're going up or down. Avoid..."
