As a student that enjoyed art I find this piece of work to be amazing. This picture fits the story well and places a good image in the readers mind as the story is read. The story itself reminds me of all the jealousy that young women face between each other. We can’t make a person love us we can only hope they do. The way that this story was written reminds me of all the fights I used to get into with my friends as I was a young girl and hoped that a young boy would like me and not my friends. I found it interesting how the parents in this story never longed for a child until they became old aged. I think this in itself shows selfishness in the parents and shows that they only want the child to take care of them so they won’t be lonely.&lt;br /&gt;K.A.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7272316985331914914/8619112713401316217/comments/default/4888702556069127751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7272316985331914914/8619112713401316217/comments/default/4888702556069127751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.diamondsandtoads.com/2010/02/sad-and-snowy-story-snow-maiden.html?showComment=1272239468827#c4888702556069127751' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.diamondsandtoads.com/2010/02/sad-and-snowy-story-snow-maiden.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272316985331914914.post-8619112713401316217' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7272316985331914914/posts/default/8619112713401316217' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272316985331914914.post-3068151647537801792</id><published>2010-02-10T01:12:25.959-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T01:12:25.959-08:00</updated><title type='text'>what a beautiful illustration!</title><content type='html'>what a beautiful illustration!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7272316985331914914/8619112713401316217/comments/default/3068151647537801792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7272316985331914914/8619112713401316217/comments/default/3068151647537801792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.diamondsandtoads.com/2010/02/sad-and-snowy-story-snow-maiden.html?showComment=1265793145959#c3068151647537801792' title=''/><author><name>Victoria Stitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961719599882577781</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01703139492321009153'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.diamondsandtoads.com/2010/02/sad-and-snowy-story-snow-maiden.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272316985331914914.post-8619112713401316217' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7272316985331914914/posts/default/8619112713401316217' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
