significant because it determines the overall effect the story has on its audience. The usage of temporal language in the book has a major influence on the importance of the rain motif, which, is promptly shown when Pi states,”It's true there was rain...It certainly wasn't a driving rain, like you see during monsoon.” (Matel 102). Rain evolves into a major motif, in this case it's surrounded by secular language which causes it to connote misfortune and generate a tense mood, fitting the current situation

that it will rain. The pitter-patter of precipitation on a rooftop is enough to set tranquility into even the most anxious of people; it is a soothing sound that many souls readily embrace. However, even the rain has its dirty little secrets. In The Rain by Virginia Bergin, fifteen year-old Ruby Morris must face an unrelenting terror from above. There is something in the rain – resilient, sun-shaped bacteria that devour human flesh. After losing most of her friends and family to the rain, Ruby makes

second romantic country of the world after France (well in my opinion). It is raining and the wife sees a cat in the rain and wants to protect it from the rain, which is odd because usually children are the one sensitive and naïve enough to want to protect animals from such a thing as the rain since it is not harmful to animals. Only human beings get a cold when standing out in the rain not animals! Her husband, laying on the bed reading, makes a poor less attempt to offer his help which can be interpreted

of a rainy day. Rain is often the precursor to disaster in a story because of the natural feelings of sadness that it brings. Therefore, it is appropriate that a rain motif should be present in “There Will Come Soft Rains”, written by Ray Bradbury. The rain makes a subtle but important appearance in the story, which allows certain events and objects to express their feelings more adequately in the themes of emptiness and the rising power of technology. The first appearance of rain is when the people

The Negative Connotation of Rain Rain brings life to the earth, ending drought and watering crops. However, Ernest Hemingway uses rain as a much more negative symbol in A Farewell to Arms. In the first chapter of the novel, rain is immediately established as a sign of bad things to come. Then, it is raining right before Henry’s friend warns him that the Italian police are coming to arrest him. Thirdly, rain comes in at the end of the novel at the same time that Catherine is close to giving birth

Rain’s Bitter Touch The year is 2026 there is not a soul to be seen. In Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains.” The clock is always ticking but is never heard.

Since the house is not tended to it is slowly fading. Machine is still prospering ,even though man has fallen to itself. There has

The Rain When it rains in the city most people in the city get out of sorts, the streets get waterlogged and the traffic escalates. The children cannot go out to play and we have to stay home getting bored with TV. My mother complains when we don’t clean our shoes before we get into the house, the laundry doesn’t dry and our hair frizzes. But in the mountain range, the rain is welcomed with joy and ease. It rains over there all year long. During the winter there is soft rain that can last all day

Why Does It Rain? Back then, the all-mighty gods removed salt from ocean waters whenever humans needed to use it. In return, the humans would constantly pray and sacrifice their meals to the gods. It was a good system for a long time, but then, humans started to take advantage of the god’s kindness; they didn’t pray as much and stopped sacrificing their meals. The gods weren’t happy about that. Therefore, they stopped providing the fresh water to humans and left the ocean water salty. Sure the

In The Rain I sat on the leather seats of the surely expensive SUV that pulled up infront of the hotel doors for me and whoever else was headed to the same dreadful place as I was. The older man had closed the door of course being cautious to not close it on the overly priced red satin dress thats fabric clinged to me like a second skin. In my head I am already rehearsing my most polite conversation dialog, not that I needed to though, because after so many events like these I could practically

cold. I noticed that as the rain fell, the potomac continued to run. The leaves of the plants around me did not try to resist the rain, instead they dipped and gracefully returned to their proud stance with each raindrop, as though the plants were respectfully bowing to the flat white sky above. The forest floor embraced the rain with a quiet rhythm. The rain fell heavier, and with it the whole park seemed to come alive. It became difficult to open my eyes with the rain so I started to squint. Then
