Leonard Pitt's 'Sometimes The World Is Cruel'

The author’s frightening story, “The Storm” has all the expected things that a good scary story should have. It has a story line that gains suspense throughout the story, there is irony, and there is lots of

The darkness in the sky gave a hint towards the evil lurking in the world. Suspicion filled the minds of all trusted to defend particular terrain. A wind blew across the world. The kind of wind that seemed to whisper,” Boo”. Upon a strike of thunder, rain started to beat the ground. An aroma of terror had been commenced.

Hurricanes are really just big storms. They can be up to 600 miles across, some wind speeds can go up to 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes put together heat and energy from all around warm water oceans. There are 5 categories to each hurricane, level 1 is winds 74 to 95 miles per hour, level 2 is winds of 96 to 110 miles per hour, level 3 is 111 to 130 miles per hours, level 4 is winds of 131 to 155 miles per hour, and level 5 winds are more than 156 miles per hour. When hurricanes come to land with the heavy rain they’ve carried, along with very powerful winds, and huge waves they can leave a lot of damage.

Life is like the calmness before a storm. All good things will eventually come to an end and problems will begin to appear. Sometimes problems will occur when they are least expected too. Many authors relate the story to the problem of a good event ending up bad by using imagery to express an overall theme. In “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury and in “The Cast of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe, imagery affects the theme of each story in many similar ways.

Hurricanes are big storms in the ocean that are large, swirling storms with strong winds. The water that is pushed onto land is a storm surge and it is said that they are the most dangerous part of the hurricanes that go on the land. A Category one, winds can get up to seventy-four miles per hour. Category two, winds can get up to ninety-six miles to one-hundred-ten miles per hour, a Category threes, winds can get up to one-hundred-eleven to one-hundred-twenty-nine miles per hour. Category four hurricanes can get up to one-hundred-thirty miles per hour, Category five hurricanes are the worst ones of all and the wind speeds can get up to one-hundred-fifty-seven miles per hour and then it can destroy anything in it’s path. The Eye of the

These hurricanes damaged a lot of places like homes, stores and many more places. They left so many people homeless. Tons and tons of people some are still out there with barely any resources like food and water and many more things you need to be able to survive. Not only the horrible hurricanes damaged places, the floods caused by many heavy rains left everything drenched like homes, it could have been dangerous because there could have been a chance

All three works describe preceding events leading up to a big storm. In the poem, the child watches as his/her parents scatter around the property to prepare for the storm, which relates to the news article describing how the city prepares for severe weather. Like the family gathering emergency supplies, the city of New York sent warnings to New Yorkers and closed up the subways. The photo shows a woman who decides to brave the rough conditions outside and take a picture of the incoming storm, which may have been something she felt obligated to do before she sought shelter. The combination of the poem, article, and image provide details for the reader to visualize as the poetry pairing is

A hurricane needs a couple of components to survive. One of them is warm water and the other is winds going the same direction. If a hurricane didn’t have either of those, it wouldn’t last very long or be destructive. Scientists categorize hurricanes by its wind speed using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. There are 5 categories for a hurricane and each can do dangerous damage. A category 1 hurricane would have winds of 119 to 153 km per hour (or 74 to 95 mph). A category 2 hurricane would have winds going from 154 to 177 km per hour (96 to 110 mph). A category 3 hurricane has winds of 178 to 208 km per hour (111 to 129 mph). A category 4 hurricane has winds of 209-251 km per hour (130 to 156 mph). And finally, a category 5 hurricane has

Yes, I'm sure there's some concrete explanation, and weather men are not poets, but where's the fun in that? Wait. There is no fun in natural disaster. No matter how it's worded, disaster is disaster.

A hurricane is a huge, swirling storm with winds ranging from 74 MPH to over 155 MPH (Manolis 5, 10-11). The name ‘hurricane’ comes from the name of the god of evil and wind (Gibbons 3, Woods and Woods 6). A hurricane starts when warm, evaporated water rises at the eye. This air spins upwards and sucks up more water and water vapor. If the temperature of the water gets up to or more than 81 degrees Fahrenheit, the winds get stronger, and cumulonimbus clouds are formed. The whole

Storms are natural forces of nature, they are unpredictable, powerful, and all traces can be erased, sometimes with ease. They tend to renew everything within their reach. Humans are drawn to one

They damage people’s houses and belongings. The most destruction can be caused by the wind. The wind tears apart houses, uproot trees, and causes other severe damage. The wind can cause debris to fly and that is a hazard to people who not that smart and are outside. Another way the storm can ruin objects is rain. Rain can cause bad floods and severe mudslides. The most dangerous phenomenon that a hurricane can produce is a storm surge. A storm surge is when waves from the oceans are being pushed to shore by the hurricane’s wind. They can go to about fifteen feet or higher. A storm surge isn’t the only dangerous phenomenon though. A hurricane can produce more than a dozen tornadoes in that same area that can cause a lot of destruction. All these dangerous phenomenons can all lead up to deaths. There can be a lot of deaths, it all depends on the size and category of the hurricane. The hurricane can cause money loss because of all the damage it is making. Someone has to pay for the ruins houses that have been torn to pieces. Hurricanes can leave a huge impact on people for many

Imagine you are in your sofa getting ready to watch your favorite show and suddenly, you go look outside and you see that you are in the eye of a hurricane! Hurricanes are just swirling storms with REALLY great winds. Right now you may be thinking, “That does not so bad!” Actually in real life they can destroy the only place that people have known! They can cause much more destruction that you think they can. Hurricanes are generally bad, as they have made many things fall, and have also caused a lot of floods everywhere they hit.

Hurricane is dangerous, above are basics and information about hurricane. People should stay away from it, and use technology or devices to predict. It is huge, bigger than other normal storm. They can be dangerous, it has massive energy that can cause huge destruction, with its ferocious storm, heavy rain, powerful winds. Finally it needs different elements and material to form, it’s complicated, hurricane is rare sometimes because it is hard to

This just shows how weather can affect people's moods. At first the storm seemed exciting; getting to leave work and school early sounded like a good thing. However, throughout the day, little things happened that made it no longer be so exciting. And eventually, that excitement was gone and it was replaced by
