Writing back to Morrison

A part of the reading that I found poetic was the last paragraph on page 93. 

"Outside, the March wind blew into the rip in her dress. She held her head down against the cold. But she could not hold it low enough to avoid seeing the snowflakes falling and dying on the pavement."

It was interesting how snowfall was described as the snowflakes falling and dying. I think that it symbolizes how Pecola feels sad, or even ashamed.
