Abstract
In Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," the theme is that one needs to take action and take risks to really be living; passively sitting around thinking about living is not living at all. This theme can best be seen through the characterization and symbolic setting through three stages of epiphany. The character Harry begins as an ignorant procrastinator in a world of action, becomes even less motivated and less responsible in a world of sloth and indulgence, and ends facing his own failure to live up to the Hemingway hero code-face fear of failure as a writer-in an imagined, perfect world. This paper presents a critical analysis on character and setting in Hemingway's famous work. The paper includes an outline.
From the Paper
"During his youth, the first stage of his epiphany, Harry is an ignorant procrastinator about pursuing his passion to write. One critic writes that in this short story, Harry is trying "to explain, to rationalize, [and] to evade full responsibility for his failure to fulfill his early promise as a writer" (Johnston). Harry has gangrene in his leg, cause of a thorn scratch that he has neglected, which symbolizes that "Harry has been suffering from a gangrenous condition for many years" and that "His literary self has been 'dying' for a long time" from neglect, just as his leg isi in the story (Johnston). Harry thinks that since he is now dying, "he would not have to fail at trying to write" about any of the experiences he had always "saved to write," "put . . . off[,] and delayed the starting" (Hemingway). Harry has been collecting thoughts, memories, and experiences to write about, but as he is remembering them during his flashbacks, he knows that "he had never written a line of [those]" (Hemingway)."

Abstract
This paper reviews the short story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", by Ernest Hemingway. According to the paper, this story by Hemingway
suggests (or blames or admits) female significance and influence in ways that other Hemingway works characteristically do not.
Outline:
I. Introduction and thesis statement
II. Body of essay
III. Conclusion
From the Paper
"The key conflict between man and woman as shown within Hemingway's story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", then, has to do with Harry's progressively feeling, as he lies helplessly dying in the African savannah as Helen looks on, also helplessly (and accepting Harry's verbal abuse),l that Helen has kept him from being the writer he might have been, had Harry not become seduced, against his own better judgment, by Helen's wealth and irresponsible lifestyle, her wealthy friends, and their relatively feckless and non-ambitious ways. In better or less desperate or extreme circumstances, Harry, having these same thoughts, might still have been able to have these same realizations and still had time to change the direction and focus of his life. But in fact his life is now ebbing away, and Harry realizes, and expresses to himself and Helen, with extreme bitterness, that he has wasted what are to be his last years of writing in meaningless and unrewarding ways.

Abstract
The author of this paper analyzes several characters in Ernest Hemingway's novels, "Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "Killers". The paper touches on the semi-autobiographical character of the novels, especially of the characters analyzed.
From the Paper
"In his biography of Hemingway, Kenneth S. Lynn, states that "The Killers" has obvious influences of Hemingway' s firsthand knowledge of small-time criminals in Kansas City (Berman, 1999). The story takes place in Henry's lunchroom. Hemingway's famous character Nick Adams is there, George is behind the counter, Sam, the cook, is in the kitchen and in walks in Al and Max, two hoodlums from Chicago sent to find and kill Ole Anderson, an ex-boxer (Hemingway, 1926). Although the dialogue of Al and Max takes up most of the story, Ole seems the main character even though we don't meet him until the end of the story."

?Dust of Snow? and ?Snow on Frost?, 2002.
A comparison of Robert Frost's poem ?Dust of Snow? to its parody ?Snow on Frost? by Bob McKenty.

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."

The Meaning of Human Existence, 2007.
A critical analysis of the meaning of human existence within "Separating" by John Updike, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" by Ernest Hemingway and "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright.

Abstract
This paper discusses the meaning of human existence, as presented in twentieth century literature. In particular, it focuses on the issue as discussed in "Separating" by John Updike, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" by Ernest Hemingway and "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. The paper also discusses the extent to which the writer agrees or disagrees with these authors' implied ideas.
From the Paper
" Richard Wright's short story ""The Man Who Was Almost a Man", like John Updike's "Separating", is a story about one character's pursuit of happiness and in this case "manhood" at the expense of other characters. In this story, the viewpoint character, 17-year-old Dave Saunders has yearned to own a gun, as a sign of his "manhood". Dave finally acquires one with money his mother gives him. Dave has also promised to turn over the gun to his mother once he buys it, but he does not. Instead, Dave goes out into the field where his family works, for Mr. Hawkins, and accidentally shoots to death Mr. Hawkins's mule, Jenny. After Dave finally gets his wish to have his own gun, however, his new sense of "manhood" quickly vanishes for reasons Dave himself (or his family) never would have imagined."

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.

Click here to show/hide summary
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 White?, 2004.
An analysis of the original tale of "Snow White" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
1,732 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 55.95

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

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..."
