Snow Falling on Cedars Response

Here's a short excerpt from my independent study essay that I wrote on Snow Falling on Cedars. The whole essay applied to my big question, so I figured I'd just post from there.

"Snow Falling on Cedars is, in the end, an intricate love story. Whether between Hatsue and Kabuo, Carl Heine and his wife, Ishmael and Hatsue or Ishmael and his mother, love runs deep and true despite the overriding chaos. Storms of every sort bring disorder, but in understanding and accepting their inevitability something greater grows out of the destruction. The tragedies of circumstance ultimately afford us the greatest possibility of all—the chance to render a terrible world beautiful."
