I personally thought it was really funny when Scout woke up screaming that the world was going to end, only to find out that it was snow. The author really does a good job at giving her character. What I didn’t exactly understand though was what Mr. Avery meant by “It’s bad children like you that makes the seasons change.” (pg 87) Sure, it’s not like Vegas, but I know a lot of people that are happy for the snow. Plus, why would you not like it? (Unless of course you were Miss Maudie or her azaleas.) Change is good every once in a while. The snow didn’t even last very long.
Jem and Scout liked it, though. I thought it was very creative making the insides of the snowman out of dirt and then adding snow to the outside. I also thought it was really funny how they made the snowman look like Mr. Avery. The scene also showed how racist things were back then. I mean, a second grader saying “I ain’t never heard of a nigger snowman”? She said it so plainly too, probably not even thinking much about what she said. Thankfully it isn’t as bad nowadays.
