Evaluating Literature—title

Welcome back. Let's consider the story's title. "Powder" highlights the importance of fresh white snow in the story. It reinforces the last line, "If you haven't driven fresh powder, you haven't driven."

creates a fresh new world—a world with new possibilities and a new way of seeing life.
