The poem "Snow Man" by Wallace Stevens is a poem that at first glace appears to be about winter and in a sense the point of view of teh snowman that are around in winter. However, after reading it a few times, I felt like it had a much different meaning. I think that the point of the poem was to point out the positives of taking in life and slowing down and takin it all in. I think that the snowman was merely an example of that. The snowman is there every winter and in a sense it sees the exact same thing every winter, but it has learned to appreciate it. It is remarkable that a snow man can do that considering it can't walk around and take in different aspects of life. However people can. I really like that the poem was trying to prove a point to the reader. I think that Wallace Stevens wants us to step back and realize and appreciate life and everything that goes along with that. He is showing us that if a snowman can learn to like an appreciate stuff he sees 24 hours a day 7 days a week, it should never be a problem for us.
