In the poem “Hurricane Hits England” by Grace Nicholas , the narrator describes the night a hurricane came to England. She questions the, asking why it is so far from home. She describes the destruction it causes. However she also describes the effect the storm has on her, reminding her that she is not so very far away from home and she emphasizes that thoughts of her with many literary devices, nostalgic tone and eight stanzas.

Alcee comes into the story like a storm seeking shelter at Calixta’s home. In doing so, he awakens the past with Calixta, in what once used to be a romantic relationship. As the storm progresses, so does the relationship eventually creating an affair at the climax of the storm. At the conclusion of the storm, the affair concludes.

When they kissed “it reminded him of Assumption” (89) and their emotion for each other grew. As the storm crashed outside, their emotion became stronger and “Calixta was a revelation in that dim, mysterious chamber” (89). She was in a revelation, because she

On paragraph 11, in “Letter from the Dust Bowl,” Mrs. Caroline A. Henderson writes to a friend that the dust storms have destroyed their barley, buried mulberry hedges that protected their shelters from north west winds, wiped out pastures, and turned their locust grove into fence posts. Despite these conditions, why did Mrs. Caroline A. Henderson and her husband decide to stay, while the rest of their fellow settlers left? The song “I’d Rather Not Be in Relief” opens with these lines: “We go around all dressed in rags While the rest of the world goes neat,”

Text: Kate Chopin “The Storm” Explanation: Kate Chopin’s “The Storm”, defines naturalism in her work several ways. One of those ways for example is when Chopin sums up her work in the last line of the text by stating this, “So the storm passed and every one was happy.” (437) Here she is not only speaking literally of the storm raging outside, however she is also stating about the affair she was having. The force of the storm and the way Chopin presents the affair as being all of a sudden and with no time to consider or choose shows naturalism. The way she brings nature in her points exist in the way for her to refer the affair as being inevitable and naturally occurring, just as a storm is unavoidable.

The ongoing downpour in F. Scott Fitzgerald 's, “The Great Gatsby” symbolizes tension growing and declining between Gatsby and Daisy because of the past memories that flood Gatsby once in Daisy’s presence again. The rain creates clear tone shifts as Gatsby enters and exits Nick’s bungalow through the fifth chapter, Daisy being mentioned with clear apprehension and fear experienced by Gatsby. As Daisy awaits Gatsby in Nick’s living room, Nick has taken account of Gatsby through the weather, “Aware of the loud beating of my own heart I pulled the door to against the rain.” (Fitzgerald 86) The rain symbolizes the growing fear of past Daisy altering her present self, expressed through Jordan’s story, affecting Gatsby whose apprehension of meeting

The mere presence of sexual desire in Calixta is a feminist statement itself, as sex was considered out of a woman’s metaknowledge, which is shown as the storm passes by. The thunderstorm is used to illustrate the time span of the sexual encounter between Calixta and Alcee. For example, Calixta’s hesitant behavior ends as the first lightning strikes, her sexual desire grows as the storms roars while progressing and the two depart as the storm ends. Chopin paints sensual images in our minds as she describes the experience along with Calixta’s honesty of enjoying it, making a feminist statement again. Chopin boldly reveals the truths about sexual relationships, targeting those not in a sacred marriage and empowers women to appreciate their bodies and

Chapter 9: Weather expresses the mood and creates the atmosphere for a story. In the story Nights of Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks, a man and woman are suffering from their convoluted and complex lives. At the beginning of the story the weather is sunny and calm representing the happiness the man and woman try to portray about their lives. Towards the middle of the novel, a hurricane comes and destroys everything. During this storm the man and woman connect on a deep emotional level and breaks down to cry.

"When Thunder Rolls" Temptation is a powerful and unrelenting force that everyone struggles with sooner or later. From being tempted to eat the last slice of pizza to cheating on an exam, temptation appears in various forms and more importantly, when you least expect or want it. In today's society, it is inevitable that one should go a day without being tempted and while some temptations are easily resisted, there are those meant to force someone into battling their darker inner desires. In Kate Chopin's "The Storm," Calixta and Alcée both succumb to their sexual desire for one another that has tempted them for the past years. The characters could not resist this temptation despite seeming to be happily married to their spouses, so when Chopin states "So the storm passed and everyone was happy" at the end of the story, it seems to be saying that the storm itself was a manifestation of this temptation and because it was gone, so was their temptation.

Weather Representing Emotions Normally weather and emotions are not associated, but throughout the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald makes multiple references comparing the feelings of Jay Gatsby to the weather outside. He uses rain to represent the times of sadness or awkward situations. When those moods uplifted the clouds would break, and the sun would shine. Other times he would use heat to represent times of anger, or tension.

Calixta’s emotions are mirrored in the storm brewing around her. In the beginning Calixta’s husband sees a storm brewing in the distance. This same storm will begin when Alcee shows up on Calixta’s doorstep. The storm is worst in the story when Calixta becomes aroused. The rain came in “sheets” and a bolt of lightning “filled all visible space.”

Chopin used the nature and the natural surroundings to set the tone in the story. "The playing of the lightning was incessant. A bolt struck a tall chinaberry tree at the edge of the field. It filled all visible space with a blinding glare and the crash seemed to invade the very boards they stood upon." Calixta acted upon her sexual passions, and her ending turned into a happy, satisfactory one.

Unknowingly but luckily, the house’s owner had heard me speak of my transgressions in the woods. Before entering the welcoming couple’s home, I recognized myself as a fugitive slave to not put them in harm’s way. They listened and grieved over my personal stories until morning came. Mr. Listwell gave me a winter coat, filled my purse with change, and gathered me a buggy to continue the journey to Cleveland where I would step on the ship to

With dark clouds carried by the winds and filling the sky, the storm is growing closer to us. Pouring rain combined with strong winds cause people to be unable to move forward; lightning and thunder scare people from coming out of their homes. In our eyes, storms cause destruction everywhere, no matter where they occur. However, in Kate Chopin’s story “The Storm”, represents something other than a destructive machine created by mother nature. It represents the passion of two love birds being reunited, reigniting their passion toward each other, Calixta and Alcee met again after a long time of being apart.
