Clemmy Sue Jarvis's Opinion: A Saturday Evening Genre

We wake up everyday to different weather, either good or bad, however our emotions are depended upon it. One September day arose, rain was falling and so were my emotions. I felt sad for no reason, I should have felt happy because it was Saturday, but no matter what happened, I was down. In the Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger uses weather to exploit emotion.

The chill of winter air had nudged her from her slumber. Gazing through the window upon the dreary horizon, the blur of gray told Hulga that rain was nearing. Nervously, she backed into the corner away from the window and curled up next to a pile of hay and settled in. Soon after repositioning herself, Hulga heard the consistent patter of rain on the roof of the barn. Her eyes watered as she wondered if her mother had been frantically searching for her.

As in many of Flannery O'Connor's stories, weather is an important indicator of characters' moods and important moments. As Tom Shiftlet drives off with the younger Lucynell Crater in the car, supposedly to go on a honeymoon, "The early afternoon was clear and open and surrounded by pale blue sky;" he still has a chance to redeem himself. But after he abandons her at The Hot Spot, he has lost his chance at salvation; this moment is enforced by the weather: "Deep in the sky a storm was preparing very slowly and without thunder as if it meant to drain every drop of air from the earth before it broke." After the hitchhiking boy has thrown himself out the passenger door, all is really lost for Tom Shiftlet, and "there was a guffawing peal of thunder from behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car."

L A NOCHE BOCA ARRIBA Halfway down the long hotel vestibule, he thought that probably hewas going to be late, and hurried on into the street to get out hismotorcycle from the corner where the next-door superintendent let himkeep it. On the jewelry store at the corner he read that

It had been raining intermittently for the past four days and by late Saturday afternoon, another storm was approaching the rural southern town of Wrongberight. Clemmy Sue Jarvis since birth has lived in the town and had a simple philosophy concerning weather. As long as she was six feet above ground instead of six feet below, she did not care what it was. Today as she lifts her petite frame into her rusty Ford pickup, she is preoccupied with what she hopes to accomplish this evening. Absorbed in though she pulls out of her driveway and heads south on Flat Bottom Road along the edge the Dismal Swamp towards the isolated home of her dearest friend Estelle

“The Storm” The storms presences is essential, without it then none of the events would have taken place. Without the storm rolling on in, then the father and son would have not been stuck at Friedheimer’s store. Instead they would have been on there way home for dinner, rather than sitting on the porch waiting for the storm to pass. If there was no storm then Calixta would not have in countered an old friend, Alcee. Though they were both still friends, Alcee seemed to still be infatuated with Calixta even though they are both now married. For if there was no storm, then neither of them would have met and they would have never decided to betray their partners. This storm is what had made these events happen, without it then this story would

This book is arranged into ten different chapters, each containing the main idea in each chapter. In the beginning of the book the author gives a foreword which briefly gives a vision of The Perfect Storm. The author Sebastian Junger wants his book to be completely factual, no dialogue is made up. The direct quotes are recorded from an interview. At the end of the foreword Sebastian states that he used the title The Perfect Storm in a climatic sense, he meant no scorn or insult to those who had their family members pass away.

As a result, the pickup spun clockwise and then counterclockwise at the same time it travels down the middle of the narrow road and then it slithers sideways and abruptly stops. Coincidentally, the truck misses by inches a large deep pool of thick muddy water in which stood Estelle Louise’s rural mailbox dead center and less than thirty feet directly behind it was her tumbledown doublewide trailer. Despite what had just befallen Clemmie Sue, she chortles, shakes her head, and then drives away, as if nothing had

Wrongberight, Virginia is a rural farming community, and its residents depend on accurate weather reports. The locals believe, those profession meteorologists could not predict rain, even if raindrops were falling on their head. On Thursday the local weather guru of Wrongberight, Charlie Jones, age eleven

There was now a fine, cold drizzle falling, and the wind had risen from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow. The few foot passengers astir in that quarter hurried dismally and silently along with coat collars turned high and pocketed hands. And I was the in the appointment place, uncertain almost to absurdity, with my friend of my youth, smoked a cigar and waited.

Glancing at the man beside her, she saw him drifting in and out of sleep. She kept driving until she heard snores coming from beside her. Then she stopped the car and quietly pulled down the sun visor, where she kept her stiletto

Dewas Better known as flying squirrels Charity stretched lazily and smiled, remembering Henry's lips hungrily upon hers, and his arms holding her tight. Was it just a dream… she wondered. It seemed so real, as did her floating though the night winds to go to where he was. She had

It was a pleasantly sunny day in Westernfield. The residents didn't think anything of it since the town had such a steady weather pattern that, in June, days like this were simply taken for granted. But to Marie, the sun's warmth, balanced by the light breeze brushing across her smooth skin made her feel alive. It was certainly something that took her thoughts away from her red SUV being refueled by a money-hungry pump a few yards behind her.
