Winter storm

Known as the “Vanishing Island”, Isle de Jean Charles is located in Louisiana and is quickly eroding due to climate change and rising waters from the current pipelines-- it has been called home to residents for over one hundred and seventy years, and the island is vanishing from underneath them. Vaughn-Lee, the director, composed this New York Times op-doc in hopes to reach out to society about the matters that are taking place in Isle de Jean Charles, so authority could take action of the…

which she would take with her and if everyone was sure there was no thunderstorm monster lurking in the hallway. Once she was in her parents’ bedroom, she pulled out the sleeping bag stashed under the bed earlier in the night in anticipation of the storm. She lay awake shivering and sweating with each crash and boom. She had once been told by a well-meaning adult, that it was only God bowling with his friends in heaven that made the sound, but the concept was lost on her as she was always keen…

In our reality, storms are violent, turbulent and windy collections of forceful power. In writing, they are a strong and substantial metaphor for a feeling or situation with all the destructing and dominant force of a storm. In Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” there are many different aspects of stormy weather packed into the novel, each one specifically expressing something explicit to its subject. These stormy metaphors and similes show that Dostoevsky shows the somber chaotic…

Rain. Gloomy, cold, gray, dark. Snow. Glistening, white, light, fluffy. Reading each of these adjectives that describe both of the weathers make us feel either depressed or joyful. Who knew just reading a couple of adjectives could change how we feel? Well literature sure did! The use of weather in literature is found to either set the tone of a book, describe a character, or foreshadow an event that could occur. One author in particular who took enormous advantage of weather was Ernest…

In “The Storm” Kate Chopin introduces Calixta, her family, and her soon to be lover, Sir Alcee Laballiere. Calixta does not notice the upcoming storm at first, along with Sir Alcee as he rides on his horse towards her gallery, but they both approach her quietly and eventually catch her off guard. Throughout the short story, the tempest escalates in severity, while the “storm” of love and untouched emotions inside the house escalates in intimacy. By using the physical weather change as a metaphor…

Countries located inside of Middle America become victim to these tropical storms every year. There have been different storms that have affected the people of Middle America greatly. On November 24th, 2016, while American’s were busy celebrating Thanksgiving, the people of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama and other surrounding countries were preparing for one such storm, Hurricane Otto. Hurricane Otto was a terrible storm that had multiple short term and long term effects that negatively…

and the Real Girl. (The Lake Scene) One prodigious technique that I have established in this limited scene is Pathetic Fallacy, in another definition, a Weather Metaphor. A clear example of this technique shown was when Gus has quoted “Is there a storm coming?”, and Karen has replied “the weather said no.” This showed me that there is a few overcast color’s involved in this scene, such as Grays and Blacks. Gray is a cool, neutral color but is also a moody color associated with being dull, dingy…

the last stanza asserts that “where are the songs of spring? Ay, where are they?” (Keats, To Autumn, Line 23). It shows the resolution and the end of Autumn because the song and sounds of Autumn are slowly fading away. The season winter is right after autumn and winter indicates death which means that Autumn is going to die. The last stanza proses the idea that nothing last forever. That everything is a passerby moment that will eventually die or fade away. The way he describes mortality sound…

Kate Chopin’s, “The Storm” begins with a storm rolling in around New Orleans, Louisiana. Calixta, seeing the storm coming, steps outside to take her husband and sons clothes off the clothesline and encounters her previous lover, Alcee, whom she invites in her home out of the elements. After she voiced her concern for her husband and son during the storm, lightening frightened Calixta, and she shared her fear of the house being hit by lightning, Alcee held her for comfort. They spoke of past…

beach is a beach or every place has that, but a beach in California isn’t going to be the same as a beach in Florida or a beach in Brazil. It may not have white sand and sapphire waters, but the beach in Charleston will always be my first beach. The storms I experienced in Charleston will always be the origin point of my interest in bizarre weather. Charleston certainly isn’t New York or Los Angeles by any means of comparison, but it’s a place that gave me something more to see than the standard…
