Question

All night long the couple argued. He said it was his right to plan the best future

he could. But what about me? she asked. What about us? The university
application, completed and signed, lay accusingly in the middle of the table.
At midnight, snow began to fall. Quiet and soft, the snow filled the street,
crowned trees, and blanketed yards. As it fell, the argument wound down. His
view of the future widened; her protests softened. At
dawn, they held hands in
front of the living room window, gazing at a transformed landscape.

1.
What does the snow most likely symbolize?

2.
What theme does the symbolism help express?

Answer 1

1. The snow most likely symbolizes peace.

2. The theme symbolized by this expression is that of Reconciliation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The description of the disagreement between the couple in this story showed a heated atmosphere prior to the onset of the snow. When the snow began to fall, peace returned between the couple. They were then able to talk about their misunderstanding and peacefully resolve them.

The theme symbolized by this expression is that of Reconciliation. Reconciliation is the act of resolving disputes. Initially this was not possible, but the onset of the snow made it feasible.
