Treasures Of The Snow	comment	Treasures Of The Snow is a novel written by Patricia St. John in 1950. Its Central Theme is the importance of forgiveness.The main characters are a girl named Annette Burnier and a boy named Lucien Morel. They're best friends but they fight sometimes. On Christmas, Annette's mother gives birth to a boy, whom Annette names Dani, but the mother dies after he's born. Five years pass. But after a series of misunderstandings, Lucien is angry at Dani and threatens to throw his pet kitten, Klaus, into a ravine. But Klaus bites him, and Dani falls into the ravine after him. He's alive, but his leg is so severely injured he can't bend it, and has to use crutches for the rest of his life. Annette is furious, so much so that whenever Lucien tries to do something nice for them, she deliberately ruins everything he makes. Neither child can be happy, and they have to forgive each other sometime.The story was adapted into a live-action film in 1980, and a 1983 anime from the World Masterpiece Theater titled Alps Story: My Annette.

Treasures Of The Snow / int_1c5599e4	comment	Reformed, but Rejected: After the accident with Dani's leg, Annette holds an intense grudge against Lucien and sabotages all of his attempts to make up with her, so much so that she breaks all of the wood carvings he works hard on out of spite. At one point, it almost drives him to suicide had he not been talked out of it by Peguin.

Treasures Of The Snow / int_598513bb	comment	Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Lucien's older sister Marie is kind, hardworking, does her chores, works hard at her job, and is generally nice when she wants to be, whereas Lucien starts out lazy, rude, cowardly, mean-spirited, balks at the idea of helping his family and doing chores, and frequently makes bad decisions. Marie often scolds him for his bad behavior, though this gets better after Lucien is wracked with guilt over what he did to Dani.

Treasures Of The Snow / int_beb9a361	comment	Anti-Hero: Annette is at her core a good person, kind but assertive, hard-working, and devoted to her family. While she was always stubborn, this is taken to Darker and Edgier levels when she has to deal with a hard situation, like her beloved brother's accident, showing how a good person is also capable of being hateful and cruel to unreasonable levels. Being consumed by anger makes her unable to forgive a friend for his mistakes, to the point that readers/viewers stop sympathizing with her.
