4. Read the following quotes.
“I stop not far from the side entrance of the school as I notice something different about the ground. Footprints. Covered with fresh snow, but not enough to conceal them” (p. 256).
“The snow is deep. At least a foot of snow has fallen in the last couple of weeks and several more inches have fallen today” (p. 247).
In these quotes you can see ‘snow’ is an important element of the story. What kind of literary device is snow?
