Short Story Of Estelle Louise

In waking up and meeting a rainy day, the immediate reaction is to groan. We’re taught in our English classes to associate rain in literature with tragic foreboding and gloom--so what else can we do but stare out of our windows

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."

Louise Beal was done. She was worn out. She was over it. Louise tired and coming home from work. When she turned down her street and saw cop cars and ambulances everywhere, with blue and red lights flashing and sirens blaring, Louise got scared, worried for her children’s safety. She got increasingly more worried as she got closer to her lifeless, dull home, when she saw Ian’s commodore out the front she broke into a hysterical run. The police officers looked at her, their faces showing sympathy and concern. She only stopped running when she got to the front door, about to enter only to be held back by an officer. Louise thrashes around, screaming out for her children, to be released. Louise only screams more when she sees a body bag on a stretcher

His mother had warned of rain. It was in the forecast, she had said in her small, fretting voice. She had urged him to wear his raincoat and to take his umbrella, but he had forgotten the umbrella in the rush of leaving, and how he thought of the five blocks he would have to walk from the Omni station to the Century National Bank, and of the morning crowd that would push against him in its hurried dash through the fine mist of the rain that had begun during the train ride from Decatur.

It had been about ten months since Aileen Mavourneen was introduced to the family. I was never fond of her. She was a dog and since i was a cat, we didn't get along. She always had the attention and Sadie never played with me anymore. The baby was always pulling on the dog's fur, laying on it, playing with it, kissing it. My days are quite a bore now that no one does any of that with me.

Weather can be a very important aspect to telling a story. For example, in the book Holes, there was a town that relied on the lively lake in order to survive. This lake was the center of life and provided all the nourishment needed for the town. Unfortunately, the town abruptly stops receiving any fall of rain when Sam, a man obtaining income from the lake crops, is murdered. As a result, the entire lake ends up evaporating, leaving the town to slowly disintegrate.

By Saturday morning, the rural southern town of Wrongberight has experienced four days of intermittent rainstorms and another storm is rapidly approaching. Clemmy Sue Jarvis since birth has lived here and she has a simple philosophy concerning weather. As long as the great man upstairs allows her to draw breath, she does not give a damn about the weather on any given day.

To ward off boredom while she waits, Clemmy Sue slaps the earphones over her ears, turns the CD player to full volume, and closes her eyes and begins to sing along with Dolly Parton. In no time at all, she fell asleep and when she awoke twenty minutes later, she begins to wonder why Estelle Louise had not returned. Therefore, she decides to drive over to the mailbox and check on her. Much to her surprise, the mailbox and Estelle Louise are not there. With darting eyes, she searches the area and soon discovers that Estelle Louise’s home is on fire. Panicking, she drives in a maniacal frenzy, up Estelle Louise’s slippery driveway. Within sight of the burning house, she slams the brakes, and the truck slid into the middle of Estelle Louise’s flowerbed and stops. Frantically, she dials nine-one-one, to inform them that a large, white, delivery box truck had driven straight through

I never knew my mother. Her name was Blythe. Blythe Elizabeth Lopez was her full name. She died the day I was born. But she did it for me. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be alive. This is the story of my family’s experience.

Estelle Louise reached the Chevy first. As soon as she slams the door behind her, she realized her friend never replaced the broken window, on the passenger side. Automatically, she rummages under the seat, until she finds a large black plastic trash bag and a roll of duct tape, and then proceeds to create a makeshift window. While she waits, for Clemmie Sue, she glances around, catches a glimpse of a scruffy burlap sack behind the driver’s seat, and grabs it. Gently she dabs the moisture, from her dress, which clings to her like Saran Wrap. That is when she noticed the buttons missing from the front of her dress, and her bun dripping wet and drooping on her forehead and her shoes encrusted with mud. Using the burlap bag, she removes some of

and gets out of the car. The yard is wet and muddy and she notices

“Storm Warning” by Adrienne Rich is a poem in which the speaker describes an oncoming storm and expresses her feelings about how to deal with the problems she faces because of the storm.

In her poem she explores the connection between physical and emotional storms and how they are both inevitable. The tone of the first sestet in “Storm Warning” is a foreboding sense of an unknown doom.
