Summary
The poem “Summer and Winter” is replete with images. The poet in the poem makes a comparison between summer and winter. Summer represents hustle and bustle. While as winter symbolizes lifelessness. The poet says that in the month of June, the beautiful clouds and sky appear dazzling. The wind from the north soothes the aching nerves. It appears, as if, the sun and the clouds are full of joy. All the things on earth shine out. Greenery is seen everywhere. The river flows quietly at some places and noisily at others, but speaks only of the pleasure which it experiences every time in summer. The fields laden with corn keep smiling and refreshing the minds of bypassers. The reeds, the willow leaves and the foliage of the larger trees shine out in the months of summer and exemplify the naturalistic style of providing solace to the troubled minds.
Everything under the sun appears lively, joyous and thereby a symbol of internal beauty. Winter, on the other hand, reduces the horizon of living creatures.
Winter represents death – the death of many beautiful birds and migration of many others, who cannot resist the bitter chill in the deep forests. Aquatic life is also badly affected. Fishes freeze in waters because the water turns into ice as the temperature lowers in winter. Even the mud and slime of the warm lakes turn into a hard lump like that of a brick. Many living creatures find it difficult to survive in the bitter cold.
the last three lines, the poet makes a marked contrast between the rich and the poor. However warm the rich and their children are, they would never give up complaining about the cold. But the poor can neither complain nor the find the comforting place to escape the freezing cold.
1. The opening lines of the poem describe the environment of liveliness and happiness.
2. The objects of nature dance and develop mesmerizing beauty.
3. Winter in the poem is described as ruthless because it takes life away from the objects of nature.
4. It means the reeds the willow leaves and the foliage of the larger trees appear beautiful and full of life in the sun. They also soothe the aching nerves.
5. The poem ends on a pessimistic note due to the plight of the homeless beggar, who cannot find any comforting place to escape the bitter cold.

Answer:
Brian’s Winter (1996), a young adult novel by Gary Paulsen, is the third book in the Hatchet series of survival stories. Brian’s Winter chronologically follows Hatchet, acting as an alternate ending to Hatchet in which Brian is not rescued, and must continue to survive in the woods through the winter. Paulsen uses his own firsthand knowledge of winter survival skills to create a vivid and realistic portrayal of winter in the Canadian woods.
This guide refers to the 2017 edition of the book, published by Ember.
Plot Summary
Brian Robeson has been surviving in the north Canadian woods for almost three months, ever since a plane crash left him stranded. Now that the mild summer weather is ending, Brian faces a new challenge: surviving the winter. He prepares for the cold as best as he can, learning to make a small fire in his shelter and sew rabbit hides together to make a poncho. After a bear invades his shelter, he fashions stronger weapons: a “war bow” (22) with the power to kill a large animal, and a lance, to defend himself against a close-range attack.
Brian develops a kind of companionship with a skunk that lives near his shelter. Each day, the skunk comes and lifts its tail as if to spray until Brian gives it some meat to eat. One day, the bear returns in search of food, and the skunk saves Brian by spraying the bear in the eyes. When snow comes, Brian ventures outside to hunt; he kills a moose using his war bow and killing lance. The moose provides hundreds of pounds of meat for Brian.
As the cold weather worsens, Brian feels stuck inside his shelter and misses the constant activity of summer. He prepares a Thanksgiving meal and gives thanks for the good luck he has had. As snow continues to fall, Brian fashions snowshoes to keep him on top of the snow as he walks. The snowshoes, along with his warm animal-hide clothing, allow him to spend time outside and see and do things again, and he begins to think of the woods as home. He hunts and kills a deer to replenish his dwindling food supply. Later, after he follows a moose—not to hunt it, but to observe and learn—he witnesses a group of wolves eat the moose alive.
One night, Brian hears the sound of a gunshot. The next morning, he ventures out to find the source of the sound. He sees a straight line through the snow, and follows the line until he comes upon a cabin where he meets David Smallhorn and his family, fur trappers that work in the area. He stays with the Smallhorns until the bushplane that brings them supplies comes and picks him up.
