  3. Sample Expository Paragraph on The Snow Goose The character of Fritha in Paul Gallico'sThe Snow Goose is a young girl who learns to look beyond appearances to find the true meaning of love. When she first meets Philip Rhayader at the lighthouse, she is "desperately frightened of the ugly man she had come to see," on the day she brings the injured snow goose to him. She is looking for his help for the injured bird but she is repulsed by the sight before her. Fritha is not unlike the people of Chelmbury who have rejected Philip because they too can not see beyond his physical deformities.  As he teaches her to care for the birds, Fritha learns much from him, and eventually "saw that he was no longer ugly or mis-shapen or grotesque, but very beautiful." She has learned, finally, to see beyond his appearance and into his heart. It is only when she discovers she might lose him that she realizes she at last understands a deeper love. This story is a helpful reminder that people are often more complex and loving than what we might see at first glance.
