Snow Precis

In the poem, "Snow," by David Berman, Berman uses similies to create a childish tone, looking bac on a memory of his, or a relatable character. Berman first uses a simile when he writes, "the ice looked like a photograph of water," thus creating the image of the cold day he had been playing around in. He then uses one last simile stating, "when it's snowing, the outdoors seem like a room," thus creating a sense of comfort in the outdoors as most children find nature fun and comfortable to play in.  By using these similes in his writing, Berman was able to create that childlike sense that he was looking for in his writing.
