text is littered with vivid imagery and analogies connecting the characters with this theme.

Chapter 9 of Foster’s book is all about the weather and how it affects the story. Foster claims that “weather is never just weather” (Foster, 70).

Evidence of Kauai’s trade winds largely contributes to Kauai’s weather patterns. Particularly, weather patterns and environmental observations have geologically changed the wake of Kauai. Observations of the wake of Kauai have been of interests in geological studies because of changing factors connected to wind flow in terms of trade
Weather in the book is used to convey a multitude of things, but rain in particular symbolizes some sort of melancholy. Each time rain appears throughout the book, it sets the scene and adds to the mood of the situation, recurring numerous times in order to solidify that symbolic relationship. One time when the rain is prevalent is when Daisy and Gatsby first reunite. Their initial meeting is awkward and forced, thus the rain was falling. This allows the reader to not only understand the predicament
future weather information we have to use the past weather reports. Todays weather may not exactly match with weather of the same day in the privous year. The probability that the weather condition of the day in consideration will match the same day in previous year is very less.

was titled Extreme weather. It begins by stating that as the world has warmed, it has triggered several other things in the earth’s climate to be altered. It then goes further into depth specifically naming the factors that have been changing due to the altering of the climate. These factors include: heat waves, droughts, heavy downpours, floods, and lastly, hurricanes (Extreme Weather, 2014).
