It's Gonna Rain

Shakespeare utilizes many symbols and motifs throughout Macbeth in order to fulfill a deeper meaning and understanding of the writing. Some motifs that are revealed in Macbeth are fair/foul, clothing, blood, gender role and sleep. Shakespeare also uses the weather to symbolize the tone and uses blood or the sound of knocking to symbolize guilt. The use of motif and symbols allows the audience to have an open interpretation about situations throughout the play. Shakespeare uses fair and foul at…

Kilowatt: Third Generation Ultra (working title) He felt the rain pelt away at his suit as he watched intently through the filthy glass window. He could barely make out what the men in the warehouse were doing. Some recon mission. I’m so tired of him holding my hand like this. It was supposed to help mask his movements, and any noise he might make. For him, it was his training wheels, and he was ready to ride on his own. “Hey, Pop, ease up on the storm will ya? I can’t hear anything over your…

I love art. The rain harshly battered on the window that night, keeping me wide awake. As Mom was cooking downstairs, I ventured into her room in hopes of finding something to keep me occupied in the stormy night. Then I saw it. A “paintbrush” sitting on her desk and a blank “canvas” next to it, waiting to be claimed by a certain mini Picasso. I climbed onto a towering chair, grasped the brush with nimble fingers, then wobbled towards the canvas. After hard contemplation and a deep breath, I…

Through this course I have seen that students learn science many different ways, but not all those ways are the best for learning. The best way that this 4th grade teacher could teach this weather and climate lesson/unit is by having the students be involved in hands on activities! If the students are able to go outside and record data for themselves they would really get to know the material better and be able to retain this information in their long term memory. They can look at patterns they…

two weeks on a cruise. I have been almost everywhere. I have been on a cruise to Italy, Rome; Paris, France; The Bahamas, Nassau; and many other places. I have been to each one so many times, I stay on the boat instead of stepping out on the islands. It’s so relaxing up here; however, it does get boring at times. Yeah, I’ve been living easy in my old age; traveling on boats is was makes it so. I…

I kept my jacket slung over my shoulders in the event that I would be summoned outside again, and toiled my way into the kitchen before placing the contents of my pocket onto the table in preparation. The onslaught of my stomachs tantrum and distaste, with being unattended to for longer than it would like, began as a low hum and swelled to a vicious gurgle upon coming to the realization that it would soon be fed; and, naturally, the state of one’s stomach directly dictates the demeanor of its…

organisms such as Ctenophora, what role does temperature and rainfall play in their movements? To get a better understanding of how population densities change with weather, samples were taken during different periods of precipitation and temperature; rain the day before, clear the day before, warm temperatures, and cool temperatures. In the end, there were minor differences between the densities of Ctenophora per 3.5 liters, but not significant enough to make a conclusion of temperature and…

Cobb’s fictional character gets Fischer’s attention first through the weather and as he looks out the window, the weather changes from clear to stormy right before his eyes. This is happening during the same time as the car chase scene while there is rain water being shot through the windows of the van onto the sleeping team. As the scene drags on, the cup of water Fischer has on the bar changes as well. The first time the audience sees the cup it is still. When fisher first starts to realize…

Oppositely and figuratively, a rain shower should cleanse the city of its impurities, but this is not the case in Swift’s poem. Instead, the ending of the downpour brings with it the ending of friendship, of economic opportunity for the shopkeepers, and of the supposed physical cleansing of the city. Swift’s irony declares that the shower did exactly what was not expected of it; London is dirtier than before. The quean’s hair flings dirty sweat and dust , just as the rain sprinkles grime onto…
