Steinbeck compares the morning dust hung to fog to which we can see that dust is being used like struggles that people have to deal with everyday and seeing it as fog, we can see the large amount of struggles that people go…

Despondency The bitterly cold air is blasting into my face and the rain is clattering down onto my skin like thousands of bullets being shot at once. As Arthur and I dash through Deauville Avenue, goose bumps start racing on my limbs. My plump lips are turning blue like an afternoon sky. Inelegantly, I fall through the doors of a petite boutique determined to find something to keep me snug and warm. I catch a glimpse of a sleek, smooth, silky scarf. Flabbergasted, I stand in awe…Wow!…

Three aspects of the setting that impact this story, “How Santa Claus Came to Simpson’s Bar,” are the weather conditions, the characters’ ways of life and the season. The weather conditions in the story were rainy, so much that the streams were overflowing. This impacted the story because it made it even harder for Dick to get out. He had to cross a full and fast-flowing river. “But the brawling creek he had swam a few hours before had risen, more than doubled its volume, and now rolled a swift…

a good way to get away from the colder weather up north, it also has a lot of sun. Mexico’s weather is perfect for basking in the sun and getting a tan. Even though, Mexico gets a lot of rain, most of it is light rain. It does rain more in the summer, but usually only lasts a couple hours. To avoid the rain, you could go more in the spring season because the wettest months are June and July. Since the sun is out from about eleven hours to thirteen hours, there is a lot of time to do…

Daytime. The time of day I hate most is here. I never liked being outside the clocktower during daytime. Mainly because I don’t like the way our world looks during the day. Think about it: We almost always have clouds hanging around in the sky, smog is being pumped into the air fir most of the day, and the sun is trying so hard to get through all the mess. It’s not, pretty I’ll tell you that much. An orange-grey sky with a dull orangish-red glow isn’t as beautiful as you would think. It’s yucky…

walk in the rain could be apparently lovable and romantic. However, the rain ruins your makeup. Frizzed hair, eye shadow and eyeliner gliding on the cheeks, raccoon eyes etc can be the outcome of your incredible romance with rain! Okay, it is not about the rain, but some accidental exposure to water or even sweat. There could be nothing quite horrible like drizzling rain ruins your makeup or the teary eyes spoils it all the way! Summer is almost over and heading towards the blossoming rain! And…

The usage of the weather instead of another term such as conflict or even something relatively closer such as storms would prove to be inappropriate to this context. Weather can be regarded in many forms. From being a thunderstorm and a downpour of rain, to a purely sunny, bluebird day, weather appears in variable forms and in different interpretations within each personality. In the difficulties that appear in our own internal struggles, numerous variables influence the weather that is…
