"What Happened During the Ice Storm" by Jim Heynen. During an ice storm, characters in the short story experience the effects of ice on pheasants. Since the narrator is unknown, their thoughts are expressed indirectly. On the other hand, figuring out the thoughts of the characters requires paying close attention to the telling details the author includes. Write a well-written paragraph in which you analyze how the author uses telling details to build a sense of danger, for the pheasants, within the short story.

henry david thoreau and ralph warren emerson earned the name transcendentalists.you could assume that transcendentalists come from a well educated background from people that were alive before the american civil war.these people, mostly new englanders, mostly around boston, were attempting to create a uniquely american body of literature. it was already decades since the americans had won independence from england. and so they deliberately went about creating literature, essays, novels, philosophy, poetry, and other writing that were clearly different from anything from england, france, germany, or any other european nation.another way to look at the transcendentalists is to see them as a generation of people struggling to define spirituality and religion in a way that took into account the new understandings their age made available.
