Rain Man

The story begins with rainfall, creating an ominous mood, forshadowing a fortokeing event. Within the text rain symbolizes change because the main character transforms from a human to a bird. Societally rain symbolizes the individuality and uniqueness present in America. The disparity between raindrops represent American people and their different cultures, livelihoods, or beliefs.I chose to make the main character in the story a bird to symbolize freedom and independence. These are two ideals I…

specifically poor weather. Rain is commonly used to foreshadow something terrible; dark and gloomy weather indicates something undesirable in the text. Because rain is naturally occurring, it seems as if it has not been manipulated by the author and is merely a coincidence, enhancing its ability to set the mood as melancholy. However, in ‘The Eternal Prisoner under the Thunder Peak Pagoda’ the rain is seen as a good thing, because, “Heaven has not failed to bring down the good rain the…

Snowflakes are different in all kinds of ways. Some snowflakes have 3, 6, or 12 sides. Two snowflakes don't look alike. How they form can be different too. There are so many ways snowflakes can be different. To begin, Snowflakes can have 3, 6, or 12 sides. According to Source 2, they can't have5 or 8 sides. It's impossible for that to happen. The most sides a snowflake can have is 12 and the least is 3 and 6 is like the middle. When it's winter time snowflakes are outside and…

A flash of lightning tore through the midnight sky. An eerie light cast out from it, illuminating the great city of Atrevale. Rain glistened off of the helms of the guards upon the thick, efficacious walls of the city. It ran down, splashing into the torrential rapids miles beneath the bridge leading towards to gate. A vast line of people stood drenched, waiting desperately for shelter from whatever lurked in the lush fauna behind them. Suddenly, loud cracks of hooves against stone rang out at…

the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to the right side of the window, gazing out into the world beyond. Though it was still overcast, I ask my Dad, “Can we go down to the beach now since the rain has cleared up?” He holds one finger up, gesturing for me to wait a second, and whips out his smartphone to check the weather…

"But he was able to understand one thing: making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision" (Coelho 70). This quote from Paul Coelho's novel The Alchemist reflects on that idea that when someone decides to take risks and persevere, they will discover so many opportunities and uncover their own character. Just like the protagonist,…

powerful and take out houses and other important things. It always seem like the weather hits at the most inconvenient times. First off, We didn't get a lick of rain all summer long. When something very important came up like beet harvest it started down pouring and literally rained 4 inches within a week. The storm was almost a constant rain and this put us behind at least 2 to 3 weeks that means the chances of the beets freezing this year and us losing them is extremely…

clouds like cirrus, cirrostratus, and middle clouds like alto stratus in front of a warm front. These clouds form in the warm air that is high above the cool air. As the front passes through a territory, the clouds progress toward becoming lower and rain is likely. There can be electrical storms (thunderstorms) around the warm front if the air is flimsy. On climate maps, the surface location of a warm front is represented by a strong red line with red, filled-in half circles along it. The half…

If you've lived in Las Vegas for any period of time, you may think that rain isn't something that you need to worry about. While Las Vegas doesn't get a large amount of rainfall each year, when it does rain it rains hard and often results in flash flooding. This year is predicted by many forecasters to be the wettest in years. While rain is always welcome in the dry desert of Las Vegas, it can mean trouble for your plumbing. This is especially true if the wet conditions cause backdrafting, an…

Bahamas The trip I would like to go on is the Bahamas. It has to be a fun place to go because everyone goes there. Once you’re there you can do many things. It would be nice to see the ocean because it looks different than the one at Myrtle Beach and they say the sand there is pink so it would be a nice thing to see because I have never been to a pink sanded beach. They have many food places and tourist destinations I would like to visit. Also it would be fun to stay in a resort and the water…
