A Christmas Carol
In the chapter, "It's more than just rain or snow", Foster says that snow can beused to create almost any mood in a story such as happiness and loneliness. This can be seen in the christmas movie, "A Christmas Carol". Ebenezzer Scrooge is a perfect representation of a mood of lonileness set by the snow curing christmas that sets him off. As he goes through these three dreams of ghosts he is suddenly changed into a new mood of happiness that he has never felt in a long time. The snow during Christmas after that point of his life brings him joy.

I like that you mentioned how the symbolism of the snow changed to reflect the changes in the character. Symbols do change and can be interpreted and presented in different ways.
