Although Ellison explicitly states that there are "illions and billions" (p.Ĥ05) of jellybeans and that they are of various colors, he is careful to specify only three of the colors: purple, yellow, and green (p. Apart from that, another image that Ellison wants to project in this scene is that of a doubloon-dispensing float rider in one of New Orleans’ annual Carnival parades.One indication that this is Ellison's intention is the jellybeans that Marm unleashes on the factory workers. We could deem that throughout the story, Ellison wants us to see Marm as a comic rebel-hero. 06).Accordingly, when the Harlequin swoops down in his airboat on the workers entering the roller-bearing plant and showers them with jellybeans, he is attempting to show them that life can and should be a joyous affair and not the government-mandated robotic existence they are leading. ![]()

The hero is Ka (the initials of his name), a poet who has lived in exile in Germany for political reasons. The story is told by Orhan Pamuk who is both narrator but also, at the end, a character, as he goes to Kars to gather information about the events in the novel, which he will then turn into the novel we are reading. Indeed, it even snows in the small part of the novel set in Germany. And, during most of the novel, it snows, cutting off the city of Kars from the rest of Turkey. The hero is called Ka, similar in sound to kar, the Turkish for snow. ![]() The story is set in Kars, whose name means snow. What could be better than a post-modernist sad love story which bravely confronts the issues of Islamic fundamentalism, Western influence and the role of women in modern Turkey? Once again Pamuk produces a masterpiece and one that probably led to his getting the Nobel Prize and, frankly, this is one of the occasions when the Nobel Prize Committee actually got it right.Īs the title implies, snow is key here and, no, not as a name for heroin.

Students were asked to web out some of their new learning and eagerly sat down and got to work detailing what they had discovered. We also liked reading more information about each of the animals we had questions about in the back section that provided more details. We loved the Author’s Note at the back of the book where we found out that this “secret kingdom under the snow” has a very impressive name: the subnivean zone (the small open spaces and tunnels between the snowpack and the ground). Reading the book I got to glance down at entranced little faces and look up to see snow swirling and whirling outside the windows. So our temperamental Vancouver weather finally delivered some snow to city streets! It was falling as I gathered our reading group together to read Over and Under the Snow written by the talented Kate Messner and illustrated (so beautifully) by Christopher Silas Neal. Oh, how I have been waiting for snow to share this book with a group of children. ![]() |
