The Raindrops

Raindrops. Drip. Drip. Drip. Clouds, gray and hiding any sign of sunlight. It looks miserable and cold but it matches my mood so it doesn 't bother me. I need to get out, It 's horrible to be stuck in this room. I want to be out in the rain. Peeling myself away from the window, I can the floor for my hoodie and Converse. "Where could they be?" I mutter, kicking clothes around. My toe clips the edge of a shoe hidden underneath a pile of clothes. I freeze as the pain pulses from my foot. Angrily, I pull out my shoes and find my hoodie laying nearby. "It 's now or never," I mumble and pull the hood over my long black hair. I think to myself that if I just go through the front door, dad would be pissed, he hates my guts. The only other way out is the window.…

Raindrops, they unify in the sky and become one. Some of them are polluted, some chilled, and some heated yet they are still just raindrops. Eventually they begin to fall, some of them disperse before they even land, never experiencing a life. Once they hit the glass they stop, motionless enjoying there short moments of life . They are In a seemingly endless amount of shapes and sizes, but yet they are still just raindrops. Without order or law they descend at different times, different paces,…

the Prelude In D Flat Major was completed in 1839. It is taken from a set of 24 preludes, 12 of them in the major keys and the other 12 in the minor keys. A musical prelude is often an introductory piece but not in this case. The short pieces are complete and independent. The Prelude in D flat is nicknamed the Raindrop Prelude because of the persistent repeated notes, which will be covered later, which sounds like rain falling. However, Chopin disliked descriptive titles and he did not give it…

She glances down the shadowy alley. Taking a deep breath, a musty scent fills her nostrils. She looks to the left and catches a glimpse of a dark green dumpster; the ebony lid is wide open with garbage protruding from within. The starry sky is congested with silver clouds as she tilts her head backwards. Raindrops douse her blonde hair and sting her blue eyes. In an instant, they are flooded and her vision is blurred. After blinking repeatedly to correct her vision, she looks back down and…

In slow motion perception, the first raindrop falls alone, leaving the dark depressing clouds hanging overhead. A thunderous impregnated boom unleashes a showery hoard stalking the alone raindrop as if it was a manhunt chasing a wanted man through an Iowa cornfield. All things are captured within the watery pearl, as it plummets opposite to a Dicksboro apartment building, where people are seen through their noirish ledged windows performing their daily rituals and routines; similar to advent…

Raindrops break the speed limit Did you know that raindrops have speed limits of their own? Raindrops that are larger than 0.5 millimeters when going across fall with a terminal velocity of several meters per second, while smaller drops fall slower with a terminal velocity of less than one meter per second. Terminal Velocity is when friction cancels the downward pull of gravity. This means that the raindrops speed up and keep falling at a steady pace. Michael Larsen, an atmospheric…

Assuming diameter of water polo is d, the magnitude of gravity act on water polo and d^3 will be direct proportion, the magnitude of resistance act on water polo and d^2*d^2 will be direct proportion. At this the larger diameter of the water polo, the greater terminal velocity, but also more energy of the water polo. That seems people can be killed. The making the water polo remain in full force is the surface tension. Surface tension, usually represented by the symbol γ, at 20 degree Celsius…

That particular scene had began with Phyllis telling Daniel that it’s raining out as they are driving. Instead of responding back, Daniel’s gaze is focused on the raindrops as they are hitting his windshield. The text states, “... he fixed on one drop and followed its career. The idea was that his attention made it different from the other drops. It arrived, head busted, with one water bead as a nucleus and six or seven clusters in a circle around it” (55). Daniel tries to focus on a particular…

Poem Analysis – The Thin Red Snake Death does not wait; it is sudden, abrupt, and unexpected. One may imagine that life will go on forever, but the painful and inevitable truth is that it simply does not, and that someday, somehow, somewhere, anyone will die. This is the message in Yash Arora’s “The Thin Red Snake”. The free-verse poem begins by outlining the journey of a thin red snake, as it climbs and descends through a terrain. Immediately after this, there are three consecutive beeps, which…

The writer enhances the mood and emotions of this song through poetic devices integrated in the song. The poetic devices in the song are repetition, consonance, assonance, alliteration, imagery, rhyme, personification, simile, paradox, metaphor, and hyperbole. Repetition is used in this song when the author includes the phrase “the sounds of silence” at the ends of almost all of the stanzas. Another, poetic device that is used in “The Sound of Silence” is consonance, which takes place when the…
