The Downpour Poem

In this context, I believe that the fruit being cut down symbolizes that Ha is leaving South Vietnam too soon, before she is ready, just as the papaya is cut down before it is ready. I believe this because in the poem “Wet and Crying,” Ha says, “My biggest papaya is light yellow, still flecked with green.” This shows that the papaya is not quite ripe and ready to be picked, just like Ha is not yet ready to leave her home country. Furthermore, in the same poem, Ha says “Brother Vu chops; the head falls; a silver blade slices.” I believe that, judging from the word choice that the author uses, Ha thinks of this as an execution of sorts. I believe this because of the words the author uses such as “Chop” and “The head falls.” This shows that Ha

The rain is the key of the story making everything feel sad, nervous and curious. The author tries to create as horrific a setting as possible. In the quote, “March rain drilling his jacket and drilling his body and washing away the blood that poured from his open wound.” makes me feel spooked. I can imagine a person lying on his side with blood spilling out, washing away by the rain creating a red puddle. For example, if Andy was lying in a field of grasses, with no clouds, clear blue sky and the sun brightly shining, I will would not feel as frightened reading the story. The rain was also a good thing as it helped Andy remember the good moments in his life, in the lines, “The rain was soothing somehow”, “Rain is sweet, I'm Andy” these lines tell me Andy is realising he’s dying that’s when he remembers the time he danced in the rain with Laura. He wants to forget about the gang ‘Royal’ but only think of Laura in the last few moments before dying. In these moments time seems slow and painful because the rhythm of the rain, there Andy’s having regrets about joining the gang who cost him his life. He thinks about how young he was and the life he wanted to live in the future. His whole face and body are hot but it’s cooled by the raindrops symbolising how much Andy loves the rain and thinks it’s soothing thing washing away his blood and accepting he’s dying

One of the first items the author states is that all symbolism is intentional, there are no accidents when it comes to analyzing famous literature. He describes certain authors like James Joyce and T.S. Elliot as “intentionalists” or writers who purposely try to control every part of the story through symbolism. The author Thomas Foster teaches us never to overlook anything in a novel even if it be little things like the color shirt they are wearing or what the weather is like outside. Building more off the last statement, precipitation, whilst being a little detail added into a story, holds a lot of important roles in moving the story along and even providing hardships for characters to overcome. Even more than that though, he says “It’s never just rain”, rain provides as a symbol in the story so that if someone is in the rain it’s almost as if they are being cleansed.

By using nature to describe the way he is feeling, paul is able to convey to the reader a sense of peace, and revitalization. The author also uses nature to create an image of what is occurring in the novel, so the reader can better picture it. When Paul and his comrades return to the lorries after battle, he says “ The rain becomes heavier. We take out waterproof sheets and spread them over our heads. The rain rattles down, and flows off at the sides in streams.” By describing the moment as rainy, the mood is quite dreary and

But if it rained the story mood would sneak up on Papa. The hiss and tick on the metal of our big living van distracted him from his papers. Rain on a show night was catastrophe. Rain on the road meant talk, which, for Papa, was pure pleasure.

“Weather is just weather. It’s never just rain” (44). If a setting in a story involves rain it’s not because outside was hot and all the water evaporated into the clouds and couldn’t hold anymore so it started to pour. I mean who would ever think of such a thing? Usually when a story contains raining it can mean the character is being “purified” or transformed. However with rain comes mud, which can cause the character to be more tainted then before. Rain is also associated with spring, which is a period of rebuilding and all the more imperatively, trust. Mist can include the wretchedness element, additionally disarray among characters and circumstances. Snow is generally as critical and negating as downpour. It can be spotless, welcoming, lively, or even warm (like a protecting blanket).However it can likewise be stark, serious, cold choking, and even grimy. The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby and Daisy's get-together starts amidst a deluge which

It is pretty poignant, yet honest to say that the hurricane Katrina has long derived an almost obsessional attention from Natasha writer. In “Beyond Katrina: A meditation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast”, Tretheway has purposely pictured the devastation scenario from witnesses’ narratives; hence her story could speak for many stories of people who are less visible, whom we cannot see struggling against the aftermath - the stories we may not know about how tenacious the return of Gulf Coast communities was from those tremendous sufferings they miserably faced up to.

It had been five years since they were last together, and in that, the rain represents the despair left over from their time apart. After they became more comfortable with each other, it was almost

The opening of the novel creates an instantaneous impression of sympathy through the use of pathetic fallacy. The rain in the opening paragraph is described as “so penetrating that outdoor exercise

Foster asserts multiple meaning of weather associated in literary works. From revealing that rain creates a mysterious, isolating feeling to describing that snow can create a sense of inhospitality, Foster divulges how weather can mean something beyond “just rain or snow.” Foster explains that “rain has a higher wretchedness quotient” and talks about how rain

In Adrienne Rich’s “Storm Warnings,” the progressive structure details the storm’s advancement, the imagery illustrates the surrounding environment, and the calm diction presents the speaker’s state of mind, depicting an actual storm as it nears and the metaphorical turmoil the speaker is experiencing. People hear storm warnings, however, as the storm unfolds, one can merely brace themselves since the storm is inevitable and light hope within them.

In “A windstorm in the Forest”, the author writes about his adventure of being in a Sierra windstorm. The author’s perspective is that nature is a wonderful thing and is very relaxing. The theme of the story is to get people to see that if you got out and take risk, you’ll have amazing adventures. The tone of this text is very calming, but also very exhilarating. The author likes to personify nature because it gives description and more meaning to the text.

2) In the first five paragraph of the story, the rain symbolized sorrow. It was foreshowing the beginning of the downfall of the relationship between the narrator and Peter.
