The wind had died down and their spirits were renewed. Even three hours away, the mountain range was still astonishing. It was if the mountains had a mystery, just waiting to be discovered. As the miles counted down, they found themselves deeper and deeper…

myself after each stride. I was a afraid of the sun; afraid of the wind; afraid I would not see the end of the desert; and mostly afraid of dying alone. The perspiration of fear formed and quickly dried on my forehead. I could almost feel adrenaline through my veins. The ground is all I saw. I looked up for a hopeful sign. My first mistake. My eyes met the horizon and an insidious gust of wind. The sun, sands, and chaffing winds blasted me back into the Afghanistan…

The story of the Great Hurricane of 1938 is a somewhat untold story in history, but it shouldn’t be. The hurricane was one of the most destructive in American history. When the storm hit the New England area, it took 682 lives. Whole cities were destroyed, families were split apart, and servants were left behind. The hurricane had surprise on it’s side, and it hit hard. The impacts left by the hurricane were astounding to say the least. Let’s dive into the story of the hurricane that…

Through standing at her window and describing the sketches of nature that she sees, Lowell communicates her feelings of loneliness and struggle of feeling like an outsider. In similar fashion, MacNeice also stands presumably before his window, but instead of personifying the moon, he observes the rain falling and the sound of the rain on the London city streets which inspires him to go on "an imagined journey across the roof-tops of London as religious, moral and metaphysical questions are…

A thunderous exclamation is more pronounced than a timid chime. When there is a thunderstorm, the rumbling vibrations echoing the skies is usually more petrifying than the clashing lights filling the clouds. When a mother scolds a child, the way her voice fumes and heightens make the hair of a child’s arms rise. When a person is terrorized by another, it is not the expression of a livid face that ceases the occurrence, but the sound of a voice that wants to be heard. A craven characteristic can…

I became verklempt with joy, happiness, and thrill. I had never had thought something scary might have benefits of joy.…

It's a rainy day, of that kind of thunderous rain that digs your cheeks when, needlessly, you seek with the nose a cheekbone of sun. It's a day, this one, in which the rain seems not to find peace, and it collects inside the hands' baskets of beggars and spreads over the din of roundabouts, when the road is a long canvas punctured by irregular splinters of sky, disturbed by gargling traffic and tires and nervous girls with wet skirts on the sidewalks. I observe the rain while the street narrows…

protagonist Vianne runs a chocolate shop. Things are hard for Vianne facing tradition and the black man. Joanne Harris is trying to use symbols to describe two major meanings in the book with the wind and the black man.
