Rain Man

affecting Texas with rain is funneling moisture our way. That means the chance for showers will be around for the entire RTO for Friday-Sunday. Friday will be cooler than Thursday for eastern zones and warmer than Thursday for western zones. Philly’s high temperature will be in the mid-70s. The best chance for rain showers will be in the morning. On Saturday, the main system from Texas will move into western zones. Eastern zones could see some afternoon thunderstorms. The rain…

It was a shadow, moving just behind the President. Suddenly, and without warning, the shadow crept into view. It was a man, holding something in his hand. I couldn't see what it was exactly, all I could make out was that it was something shiny, for the light glistened off it. Just then a gunshot rang out and President Lincoln flew foward in his seat. The mysterious man then leapt from the balcony onto the stage curtain, where he fell to the ground. The audience screamed. Suddenly the whole…

The Rain although very real has a symbolic message in that the rain is needed to do more than put out a fire and how the rain is not only quenching the fire but is doing so much more. The story explains, “One thing that would sure help if the old rain would start raining down.” The rain is needed to come down for more than just to help stop the fire. Its needed to stop all the racism that exists in this tiny town. The rain is not for just stopping the fire it's for ending the reign of the…

To create a structured story, Silpperjack used the weather to portray the time of day relevant to the story. To begin with, in Coal Oil, Crayons and Schoolbooks Silpperjack expresses the weather at the beginning of the day to have the following characteristics, “…cold, damp air.. white mist all around me.” (Slipperjack 27). When one awakes in the morning, the air does feel denser and colder. Slipperjack illustrates the weather in such to generate a morning feel because it is the beginning of…

Pouring perspiration swimming down my neck, like the rain in a typical Seattle night. Singular weighted drips of hard work, crashing down on the light-teal cushioning floor mats. Proudly smearing it away cleanly with my already soaked t-shirt tucked in my gi. I glance at my belt through the parallel image of my ego embedded in the studio mirrors. I grace my fingers across my velvety rigid 2nd degree sable colored black belt. My left hand strokes the left side, feeling the light gold korean…

harder and harder to grow crops. We must figure out a way to come away from rainfed crops if our annual precipitation is going to continue to shrink inch by inch. We will have to morph to using more of our reservoir water, that way there is room when rain comes. In my opinion, we would need to start flooding more fields, to use excess water. If it appears as though reservoirs are going to overflow, we should put that overflow to good use instead of wasting it. We can put it to good use by…

On a bright sunny day at the park, Mitali, Tatiana, and I were all on our phones. Little did we know, it was about to rain. When the rain was starting to come down hard, we all ran for cover. It kept on raining so Mitali had an idea, to go to her house. “Let’s take a shortcut.” said Mitali. We all agreed with Mitali’s idea, and went through the woods. “I think we’re lost.” said Mitali. We all sat in the woods, and it was freezing. I was still worried about the situation. I was so scared I had…

sweating, beads of liquid streaking down my dirty face. Every other second I hear the buzz of incoming mosquitos like tiny fighter jets preparing for an airstrike, thrumming. The trail beneath my damp sneakers is compact despite the previous days’ rains. My watch beeps, and I fish it out of my breast pocket to reset the time. The timer is set for 45 minutes. That’s how long I’ve been on this trail, portaging. For those of you who don’t know, portaging is the act of carrying gear and…

Buchanan. In the Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald capitalizes/exploits this universal idea to hint how the characters are feeling during the chapter using rain and the intense heat, but he also uses the four seasons to structure his book. As the novel progresses, Fitzgerald utilizes rain many times to employ the emotion of sadness and loneliness. When it rains, the clouds restrict the sun and its…
