Analysis of The snow falls.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The snow falls.

It's very cold out; it's 20 degrees. Someone, please help me. I am a man in need. My coat keeps me warm, but I'm still cold. Maybe it's because I'm very old. The snow is falling all around me. It looks very pretty and makes me happy. The birds love it; they all hang out waiting to be fed all around my house. So I went into my shed, and there was a mouse. Eating the bird seed and hanging out. I bid him farewell and left him a piece of cheese. The town plow came by and plowed me in, so now I can't drive. I took my shovel and dug myself out. To get more bird seed and cheese to keep my birds and mouse happy, they chirped back at me.
