Weather In A Thousand Splendid Suns
Foster points out that the weather plays a critical role in a work of literature. Whether it be for plot development or for a democratic reason, rain, snow,
or fog plays a significant role in literature. In general, rain can bring about enlightenment and restoration, and snow can bring abstract thought. What an
author does with rain, snow, or fog in the novel can signify a change in character or parallel the atmosphere or what is happening in the novel. For
much of A Thousand Splendid Suns, the characters must withstand a drought. However, when there was a snowfall during the winter of 1992, "[Laila]
would retreat back to her room, sit on the bed, and watch the snow falling" (208). Instead of going outside to feel the snow, Laila remains

Weather Conditions On Black Saturday
–Heatwaves: The weather conditions on Black Saturday were some of the worst weather conditions ever recorded. In the weeks preceding the
bushfires, there had been a series of exceptional heatwaves in south–eastern Australia and particularly Victoria. The heatwave that accompanied the
bushfires on the day broke records. Much of Victoria, including Melbourne and 20 other centres registered unprecedented maximum temperatures.
Melbourne reached 46.4В° Celsius, the highest in 154 years of record keeping. The causes of these heatwaves were blocking high pressure systems
over the Tasman Sea, which channelled hot, dry tropical air over south–eastern Australia. –Low rainfall: The soaring temperatures of the heatwaves

Analyzing Anomalous Weather
In recent years, scientists and the general public have become increasingly aware of climate change. Scientists have begun and continue to study
historical and geologic records in order to determine natural patterns versus human–induced changes in climate. By studying historical data and recent
impacts, scientists may be able to determine consequences people will face now and in the future.
One of the potential consequences of the changing climate is an increase in anomalous weather events. By definition, an anomaly is an irregularity, or
something that varies from the normal pattern or range. For the purpose of this study, anomalous weather refers to measured temperature and
precipitation values which deviate from the normal range for weather in the area of interest.
Extreme weather phenomena result in numerous instances of property damage, human displacement, and loss of human life in the United States and
globally each year. In recent years, there seems to have been an increase in anomalous weather conditions, such as floods, droughts, severe storms, and
high temperatures, among other types of events. Extreme weather episodes affect a range of sectors including agriculture, and food security, water,
health, and tourism (Cooney, 2012). Some areas, such as developing countries, are more vulnerable than others due to lack of funds, planning, and
infrastructure (Cooney, 2012). However, more needs to be done in all areas in order to prepare for the rising number of these

Theme Of Weather In Tangerine
Weather you like it or not, weather is very important
In many books authors use outside forces to change a story's plot or the way the characters are headed. In Tangerine weather and natural disasters
affect and change the plot and characters. On page 50, Erik says, "He was just standing there in the end zone. He had one hand on the goalpost,
leaning on it, and kaboom! There was a crack, and a flash, and he went flying through the air. He landed right on his back, right there on the goal
line." In this Erik is explaining to his mom the death of Mike Costello, this is the first time the reader can really see Eriks true colors and the monster
that he is. This sets up many events that happen in the future, one major event that happens becauses of this is Paul telling on the Tangerine Middle
soccer players for breaking a carnival attraction. Another thing that happens because of this is Arthur getting his dream to be a starter. When Arthur
becomes a starter he also becomes loyal to Erik and kills someone for him. Not only did weather affect the plot, but huge natural disasters also affects

Weather Symbolism In The Great Gatsby
Rain, heat, fog, the weather had an immense role in both the setting and symbolically. Like Thomas Foster stated, "weather is never just weather.
It's never just rain. And that goes for snow, sun, warmth, cold, and probably sleet."(Fos) Weather in The Great Gatsby is enriched with meaning
and impact to the novel and one example being when Gatsby and Daisy met again after five years. The morning before Gatsby and Daisy were
going to meet, after Nick secretly arranged for Daisy to have tea with Gatsby in his house, Gatsby send for Nick's lawn to be mowed and for a
"greenhouse" to be set up in his Nick's house. At "two minutes for four"(Fit) Daisy arrived and it was raining and before Daisy entered the house

Additionally, another weather forecast that had an impact was the mist that formed in the bay that divided Gatsby's and Daisy's houses. On the day
that Gatsby and Daisy reunited and they and Nick went on a tour of Gatsby house, they all went to the dock and Gatsby stated "If it wasn't for the
mist we could see your home across the bay"(Fit), "You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock"(Fit). The green light
represents Gatsby's dreams he haves for his future and having Daisy is one of them, so when the mist/fog is dividing his house and Daisy's house the
readers will probably think that it represents that because Daisy is with him, Gatsby reached his green light. Thomas Foster stated, "Fog, for instance.
It almost always signals some sort of confusion"(Fos), and with that being said the mist covering the green light at the end of Daisy's dock represents
confusion within Gatsby because even though Daisy is next to him at the time, he knows that she is still not truly his.
Furthermore, the big conflict, the climax happens on one of the hottest days the characters experienced in the novel and there is a purpose for that.
"The heat oppressive, the sun destructive"(Fos), said Thomas Foster. On the day that Gatsby and Daisy where going to tell Tom that they wanted to be
together, that's when Daisy started to complaining and saying that "it's so hot"(Fit) on "the verge of tears"(Fit) and that they shall all go to town, they

Weather In The Great Gatsby
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 to a greater extent, but also to visualize it. It had been five years since they were last together,

The Characteristics And Differences Between Weather And...
People often confuse between climate and weather– the two really are quite different. Weather describes the atmospheric condition over a short period
of time that is from day to day or week to week. While climate describes average conditions over a long period of time. Step out and you experience
many facets of weather. Air temperature and pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, cloud type and cover and the amount and form of
precipitation are all the characteristics of the momentary conditions we call weather.
The sun is ultimately responsible for the weather. The rays from sun are absorbed differently by land and water surfaces, equal amounts of solar
radiation heat the ground more quickly than they do water. Differential warming in turn causes variations in the temperature and pressure of the
overlying masses of air.
As the air mass warms, it rises higher and become lighter into the atmosphere. As the air mass ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These zones are generally found on the east shoreline of the mainlands and are frequently subject to sea tempests in the fall and in pre–fall. The
south–eastern part of the United States and large areas of china are the best examples of this kind. Here winter seasons are mild to cool based on
latitude. This is the suitable climate for raising crops especially rice.
8.Humid Continental
A great variety in precipitation and temperature characterize this climate and is usually found in Northern Hemisphere continent's mid–latitude
interiors. For example, Manitoba in Canada, Winnipeg are located deep in the North American continent which has a humid continental climate. Air
masses are chilled by the Arctic ice and snow flow south over these areas and frequently collide with tropical air masses that are causing change in
weather conditions. Usually these areas experience four seasons and the length of each season is determined by the latitude of the particular region.

just an ordinary storm. Well, I was wrong. My thoughts about the weather would be forever altered, and I found out just how stunningly frightening
severe weather can be.
It was just another ordinary day of 5th grade. It was cloudy outside, and we had heard about the severe weather that might come on the news. We just
shooed the precautions away and forgot about it. That is, until it started storming. Bad idea. I was at my before school program, JCPRD. I sat with

illuminating our nervous faces. We were starting to get concerned. The distant, eerie roars of thunder filled our ears as the sheets of rain spilled from
the roof and lashed the building. This seemed bad, but the situation only grew worse. My heart started to thud faster and louder as I walked to my
classroom. The winds were whooshing louder and louder, and the thunder was growing more and more rapid.
"Good morning class," My teacher, Mr. Whalen, said as we all walked in. "Today a severe weather threat has been issued, so be ready if we have to go

Examples Of Weather In The Great Gatsby
"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,

A demonstration of brutality changes from reality to writing. On the off chance that you were punched in the arm by somebody, it is likely a
demonstration of animosity, though in writing, it could be an illustration for something else. Fundamental "situational" viciousness is any sort of
brutality in which there is a blameworthy gathering. Regardless of the fact that it is not an immediate gathering, there is still somebody/something to
fault. Example: Harry Potter. Voldemort has executed Harry's guardians yet has saved Harry his life all the while. This is symbolic as it demonstrates

Weather In Purple Hibiscus
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel, Purple Hibiscus, is an unconventional coming of age novel, set in postcolonial Nigeria. Kambili, a teenage Igbo
girl, lives with her brother Jaja, mother and her wealthy, religious zealot father, who abuses the family in the name of Catholicism. Kambili sees her
life as the norm, however her paradigm completely changes when she and Jaja go to spend a week at her Aunty Ifeoma's house; and the freedom they
experience creates a staggering rift within their family. It addresses various themes and motifs, including religion, domestic abuse, silence, and political
strife. However, one of the more underrated themes in the book is the imagery of nature; the text is littered with vivid imagery and analogies
connecting the characters with this theme. Weather is one aspect of nature that becomes prevalent, and gives the events in the book a deeper and
more subtle meaning that goes missed by most. Adichie uses the weather as a symbolic undertone to illustrate the emotional shift of Kambili between
her life in Engu and her newfound freedom in Nsukka. Weather is a symbol of nature that is the most blatant reflection of the Achikes' lives, and yet
is the most subtle in illustrating how it evolves. The second chapter of the book opens with a normal day in the life of Kambili: she is doing her

The Importance Of Weather In Literature

Weather can influence many things in literature. It can influence the mood, plot, characters, & setting. Foster makes it very clear to us that an author
will never put weather into a story with no reasoning behind it. Weather is not just simply a setting in literature.
The author begins the chapter "It's More Than Just Rain or Snow" by explaining what mood the quote "It was a dark and stormy night" creates. He
explains how weather is never placed in a story for no reason. Weather is a factor used to create a mood in the passage. "A sunny day with no
clouds in sight..." will create a happy mood while the reader could be imagining themselves in the story being outside on a beautiful clear day with
the sunshine hitting them just right. That could put anyone in a cheerful mood, right? If the author started a story with "The rain was beating down
on the roof as I realized it had been my first night without him...". Now obviously if the character had just lost someone they would be sad but adding
rain to the scene adds the effect of sadness and allows the reader jump in the book to feel what the character is feeling.
When meeting characters in the beginning of novels, the author can add how they perceive weather to let the readers get a feel for how observing they
are. If the character pays no mind to the weather the reader may see that had acted as ignorant.

A Common Understanding Of Weather Menace
1.What is fog? A common understanding of this weather menace must be established before delving into its dangers. Layman's terms suggest that
fog is a low hovering cloud which limits the visibility at ground level in a wide variety of intensity. From personal experience, fog may prevent
you from locating your own home, or may simply cause the air to feel moist. Fog forms when the difference between air temperature and dew
point is generally less than 4 В°F. Fog begins to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets suspended in the air, usually also
clinging to pollutants or naturally occurring particles (ex: dust, salt, etc.) Water vapor is added to the air by: wind convergence into areas of
upward direction, precipitation, daytime heating which evaporates water from the surface of large bodies of water, oceans or wetlands;
transpiration from plants, cool or dry air moving over warmer water, and lifting air over mountains. Think of fog as a lower rendition of the cloud
form stratus; meaning it is a lower deck that occurs when a cool air mass is confined under a warm air mass. 2.Different types of fogs? Foggiest
place in the United States? Fog can form in many ways dependent on what caused the cooling and how the condensation occurred. The most common
form of fog, Radiation fog, is fashioned by the cooling of terrain after sun down by thermal radiation when wind conditions are relatively calm and

Global Warming : Extreme Weather
Global Warming: Extreme Weather & Seasonal Mismatching Recent climate modeling results indicate that "extreme" weather events may become
more common. Rising average temperatures produce a more variable climate system. Carbon dioxide from cars, industries and power plants trap heat
near the earth 's surface. More heat means more energy. Adding more energy to the atmosphere creates the potential for more extremes. Climatologists
say extreme weather events will become more common as our climate heats up. The gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's
atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants is
known as Global Warming. The greenhouse effect is when the Earth 's atmosphere becomes thick with gases, such as Carbon dioxide, and substances
which trap the sun 's radiation, making the Earth warmer. The extreme weather is leading to climate changes which are resulting in seasonal
mismatching.
The Earth 's seasons have shifted back in the calendar year, with the hottest and coldest days of the years now occurring almost two days earlier.
Temperatures over land in the 100–year period between 1850 and 1950 showed a simple, natural pattern of variability, with the hottest day of the year
in the Northern Hemisphere landing around July 21. But from the mid–1950s onward (the period when global average temperatures began to rise), the

Theme Of Weather In The Great Gatsby
Many great books use many different natural occurrences or things to symbolize themes, moods, a meaning of the book, etc. The Great Gatsby is no
exception, Fitzgerald uses many different methods to blend the story into what it is, but one thing that he uses that might slip through the reader's mind
is weather. Fitzgerald uses weather throughout the book to set/show the mood of the chapter/scene. Right from the start, Fitzgerald uses weather
to set the tone for Nick. "And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that
familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer"(Fitzgerald 4). Nick had just moved to the East, looking to start a new life.
It represents his high hopes that he has for his life ahead. He states earlier that he was restless after the war, so he is very eager to achieve these
goals he has in mind. It also represents the coming changes in his life. Summer starts to come around right as he goes to Daisy's house, something
that will affect his life for years to come. It is no accident that summer comes right as his life is about to change. Fitzgerald also uses a lot of weather
to set the emotional tone when Gatsby reunites with Daisy. He uses the rain in chapter five to represent the nervousness of Gatsby.
"With his hands still in his coat pockets he stalked by me into the hall, turned sharply as if he were on a wire, and disappeared into the living–room. It
wasn't a bit funny. Aware of the loud beating of my own heart I pulled the door to against the increasing rain"(86).
A little earlier in the chapter, Gatsby also says that the rain is supposed to stop at four. Almost as if he this trying to tell himself that he will stop being
nervous once Daisy shows up, but contrary to that, the rain intensifies, and so does Gatsby's signs of being nervous. But later in the chapter, Nick says
that the sun starts to shine again, and he mentions, "While the rain continued it had seemed like the murmur of their voices, rising and swelling a little
now and then with gusts of emotion"(88–89). In this part, Fitzgerald blatantly uses the rain to describe that Gatsby was nervous. It is basically saying

animals, humans, plants etc. anything that is living. We have animals that hibernate in the Winter because they can't survive in the temperature that
winter provides for them so they have to hibernate. But like an example polar bears can't live in Iowa even though in Iowa we have winter and it is

Affects Of Weather On Deer Hunting
Effects of Weather on Deer Hunting Every year the fall brings in one of the biggest sports, hunting. According to David Crook in his article How big is
the Hunting Economy, there are about 13.7 million people or approximately six percent of the United States population that consider themselves to be
hunters. When all of these people get up the morning of opening day there is one thing that affects the way that they hunt. Every avid hunter knows
that they have to base their hunting style off of the weather. The different factors of the weather such as the temperature, wind speed, barometric
pressure, and precipitation changes the way the deer move and can either make or break a deer hunter's season. The movement of a whitetail deer
changes according to the weather. There are several different factors to consider when talking about the weather, but the one of the leading factors is
the temperature. Some people believe that the colder it is outside, the better the hunting becomes. This is true until it gets so cold that the deer have to
bed down and not move to stay warm. When the temperature begins to drop down to about 35 degrees Fahrenheit, the deer begin scrambling for food
to prepare for winter and the rut. The rut is a deer's mating season. This has the deer at a constant movement and makes for prime hunting. When the
temperature begins to change, the amount of movement of the deer begins to change also. If the temperature rises then the amount of a deer's movement

fact that it measures uses calculations and takes into consideration the pressure, temperature, winds, humidity, clouds and precipitation. Out of all the

Extreme Weather And Heat Waves
The first article or website that I explored 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).
Heat Waves In this section, a heat wave is referred to as "abnormally hot weather lasting days to weeks". It further goes on to say that the recent
number of heat waves have been steadily increasing with numbers almost "triple the long–term average" (Extreme Weather, 2014). In this section it is
claimed that the droughts in Texas in the year 2011, and in the Midwest in the year of 2012, that records were set for the highest monthly average
temperatures to date (Extreme Weather, 2014).

The Great Gatsby Weather Analysis
In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the weather sets a mood or follows the emotion of the novel. Many people Change their mood
in certain weather conditions, and in this novel, the weather is symbolic of the mood in the novel. Fitzgerald uses the rainy weather in this novel to
symbolize several things. For example, on the day that Gatsby plans to meet with Daisy, it is raining before they meet. "The day agreed upon was
pouring rain. At eleven o'clock a man in a raincoat dragging a lawn–mower tapped at my front door and said that Mr. Gatsby had sent him over to cut
my grass." (Fitzgerald 88). In this situation, the rain represents an anxious and hopelessness mood. When Gatsby arrived at Nick's house, he begins to

"The next day was broiling, almost the last, certainly the warmest, of the summer. As my train emerged from the tunnel into the sunlight, only the hot
whistles of the National Biscuit Company broke the simmering hush at noon. The straw seats of the car hovered on the edge of combustion; the
woman next to me perspired delicately for a while into her white shirtwaist and then, as her newspaper dampened under her fingers, lapsed
despairingly into the deep heat with a desolate cry" (120–121). This symbolizes the upcoming conflict and foreshadows the climax of emotions that are
to come, with the confrontation in the suite, Daisy's rejection, and Myrtle's death. The heat also shows the mix and confusion of emotions in Daisy,
and Daisy recognizes that " '... it's so hot'... 'And everything's so confused'..." (125). This quote symbolizes Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. It is when
the weather is at it's hottest that Gatsby's and Daisy's relationship reaches a climax. Also when Nick, Gatsby, Daisy, Jordan, and Tom are all sitting in
the Plaza, the book describes the daytime to also be unbearably hot. " 'Oh, let's have fun,' she begged him. 'It's too hot to fuss.' He didn't answer"
(126). This quote shows that as the weather progressively gets hotter so does the tempers of Gatsby and Tom. The heat, in this case, symbolizes the
way that hatred between Daisy's husband and Gatsby

Dispatch Weather
In the aviaiton industry weather is one of the most important subjects. When the weather changes, there are changes in the conditions of a flight as
well. Since weather changes so often, every flight is different. Changes in weather can happen during flights as well as between them. Both
dispatchers and pilots have to be ready to deal with various changes in weather conditions and have a plan. Having a good understanding of weather is
very important for a dispatcher. Even the aircraft's performance changes depending on what kind of weather conditions are expected. If an aircraft will

All of these charts and weather reporting data give a dispatcher many ways to view the weather is order to plan a flight and of what weather can be

be able to make good decisions on a flight plan. Dispatcher and pilots also have to be aware of what the different weather conditions have on an
airplane and what changes can become of the given weather. When a dispatcher starts a flight plan any number of possibilities must be planned for
such as engine failures and diversions into alternate airports which must be planned for. If the weather at the departure airport is below landing

Flood and National Weather Service
A flash flood is a rapid flooding of geomorphic low–lying areas – washes, rivers, dry lakes and basins. It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a
storm, hurricane, or tropical storm or melt water from ice or snow flowing over ice sheets or snowfields. Flash floods can also occur after the
collapse of a natural ice or debris dam, or a human structure such as a man–made dam, as occurred before the Johnstown Flood of 1889. Flash floods
are distinguished from a regular flood by a timescale less than six hours. The temporary availability of water is often utilized by plants with rapid
germination and short growth cycle, and by specially adapted animal life.

Hurricane Katrina And Weather Similarities
One of the most consistently dealt with factors in daily life is weather. Weather could just be the temperature, rain, snow, clouds, or it could be far more
severe. When talking about weather it is important to remember that severe weather such as hurricanes is also a part of the equation. Hurricanes can
garner a large amount of media coverage, along with a lot of attention from the general public, depending on how severe the hurricane is. A hurricane
has the potential to cause a substantial amount of damage, cost an unfortunate amount of money, and even take lives depending on the size of it.
Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Irma are two hurricanes that did end up endangering the most lives, causing some of the most damage, and costing
some of the most money. Although these hurricanes took place at different times and in different places, it is still possible, and important even, to
compare these two major weather events. In order to compare these two events, it is necessary to first know some of the basic facts of each of them.
Hurricane Irma took was recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Hurricane Katrina was also recorded hitting the Gulf Coast, but

Hellenistic Weather Patterns
Currently, climate change and erratic weather patterns are among the most prevalent news items. Moreover, modern day humans have developed a
habit of checking the daily weather update, and they use this information for planning their day activities. Citing the recent weather disasters, such as
the Tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina, weather patterns have become an integral part of the modern day living. According to a study by Horanont,
Phithakkitnukoon and Leong, particular weather conditions influence human activities when contrasted with people's normal activity patterns. Further,
these activities were noticeable at different time intervals of the day (e81153). Consequently, the weather has an effect on how people feel and act.
According to Horanont, Phithakkitnukoon and Leong, cold, rainy, and windy weather conditions influenced human activities significantly (e81153).
During the cold and rainy weather days, people's day and night activities were more diverse. The intensity of the weather condition influenced people's

Generally to predict the 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. But the probability that it will match within the span of adjacent fortnight of previous year is very high.So we can take the adjacent

Artificial neural network was combined with the genetic algorithm to get the more optimized prediction . An improved technique that uses artificial

neural network Fuzzy logic has also been being used in weather prediction models. The rainfall was classified into three fuzzy sets which can be
predicted by making use of simple fuzzy rules . Also a fuzzy self–regression model was proposed by Lu Feng and Xu xiao Guang which makes use of
the form of self–related sequence number according to observed number. The self–related coefficients were computed by making use of Fuzzy Logic .
A combined approach of neural network with Fuzzy Logic is being proposed for the weather prediction system. The work has applied principle
component analysis technique to the fuzzy data by making use of Autoassociative neural networks.
But the main problem with the methods discussed above is most of they don't provide any mathematicalrelationship between different parameters. Data

When it comes to literature, weather can be used in many different ways. It can symbolize theme, set the mood of the story, and even affect the plot.
In Tangerine by Edward Bloor, the weather acts as a plot device and as a symbol.
First and foremost, the weather both creates and resolves conflict. For instance, on page 51, Erik says, "There was a crack, a flash, and he went flying
through the air." Due to the volatile weather, lightning strikes Mike, killing him instantly. Two other examples of this include the sinkhole, and, to an

Since winter temperatures have increased much faster than summer temperatures, it would seem to line up well with Americans preferences. On a
county–by–county basis they found, using their WPI scale, that in the past 40 years the average mean WPI score has increased, meaning over time
people are living in more and more preferable weather. Next, they calculated that approximately 80% of people live in counties where the weather has
improved. (Egan and Mullin, 2016) Lastly, Mullin and Egan discuss the problems with the perceived comfort of Americans and how this comfort will
change. Climate models show that the trend of smaller increases in summer temperatures, and higher increases in winter temperatures of the past 40
years will soon reverse. Using their WPI data and two separate scenarios for Americans future by 2099, they calculated how "pleasant" the weather
will most likely be. In the first scenario they calculated in weather pleasantness if greenhouse house emissions are stabilized shortly after 2100, and
found that approximately 71% of American counties would experience a decrease in WPI score. In the second scenario they calculated if greenhouse
emissions were left unabated by 2100, and found that approximately 88% of American counties would likely experience a decrease in WPI score.

Agnes's spiritual 'atonement', helping to 'guide her home' is regularly influenced by the state of the weather and natural occurrences on the landscape.
Agnes is offered two experiences of redemption in the novel. One being predominately religious, aided by reverend Toti and the other being sense of
belonging and acceptance to a family. In this heavily Christian society, Agnes is given a 'spiritual advisor,' who takes on the responsibility to 'save her.'
As Agnes' begins to confide in Toti and learn to rely on him the weather gradually becomes increasingly 'miserable' rendering it difficult for the two to
meet. At the climax of the novel, 'travelling to Kornsa in this unfit weather' has resulted in Toti's 'fever' leaving Agnes 'scared' and deprived of her
confidant. Despite Toti representing her divine redemption, the two form an alliance stemming from predominately companionship, demonstrated
when Toti 'forgot' his New Testament at home when going to meet Agnes. Additionally, Agnes is emotionally redeemed when experiencing a sense of

Weather And Extreme Weather
UNIT SUMMARY
Since the time of their early existence, humans have migrated to regions of the Earth that offer climates favorable to their survival and have planned to
persevere extreme weather events. In this unit, students will observe models and analyze data to learn how the interplay between atmospheric variables
such as temperature, air pressure, and moisture leads to the typical and sometimes extreme weather events that humans' experience. Analyzing weather
data to make predictions is a key part of this unit and students' understanding of how weather patterns can help us predict future weather events. This
unit aims at explaining how Earth's tilt, along with its changing position around the Sun causes variation in the amount of incoming solar radiation
(insolation) that reaches the surface. This unequal distribution of energy causes variations in seasons we experience on Earth. Students also will learn
that climate is influenced by latitude, proximity to large bodies of water, ocean currents, among other factors.

Theme Of Weather In Catcher In The Rye
We wake up everyday to different weather, either good or bad, however our emotions are depended upon it. One September day arose, rain was
falling and so were my emotions. I felt sad for no reason, I should have felt happy because it was Saturday, but no matter what happened, I was down.
In the Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger uses weather to exploit emotion. As rain approaches many people start to feel depressed, but also content.
Holden explains why he believes people are crazy for leaving the cemetery just because of the rain. He starts to talk about what the scenery looks
like, and how he feels. Holden states "It rained on his lousy tombstone, and it rained on the grass on his stomach. All the visitors that were visiting
the cemetery started running like hell over their cars. That's what really drove me crazy" (172). Holden becomes sad as he sees everyone leave
just because of the rain, he feels depressed that people would just leave their loved ones alone. Holden's emotions are depressing, but he will also
show a sign of joy due to the weather. Holden changes to a happy state of mind as he sees the many parents hide under the carousel for cover. He
talks about feeling happy as he views Phoebe going around and around on the carousel. He states "It began to rain like a bastard. All the parents
and mothers and everybody went over and stood right under the roof of the carousel. I felt so damn happy all of the sudden, the way Phoebe was
going around and around and around" (233). Holden will not let the rain change her happiness, he consumes happiness and feels like he may cry.
Overall, rain has played a key role in showing emotion, but the snow seems to take a different turn on things. Salinger shows that the cold can pick
up emotions to make people feel despondent and lonely. Holden describes a time in the city when he felt like he had vanished from life. He talks
about crossing the road, but then everytime he would cross he would feel gone. He projects "It was kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no

Climate Change And Weather Change
Recently, climate change has been a major topic of discussion. As the world decides what actions should be taken to help with the changing climate,
severe weather has increased over the past few years. Several factors has created a change in climate but there have been countless effects to Earth
because of climate change and severe weather is one of those effects. "In fact, the first decade of this century (2001–2010) was the hottest decade
recorded since reliable records began in the late 1800s" (Union of Concerned Scientist, n.d.). The Earth is not only stronger storms such as Hurricane
Ivan, Super Typhoon Haiyan, Joplin, MO tornado and tornado super outbreaks, but there also have been severe droughts as well. Climate change is
effecting extreme weather because the climate has been changing over the years causing the waters and Earth to become warmer, which is causing
extreme weather to become stronger and more severe. Extreme weather can include storms and floods, temperature extremes, droughts and habitat
shifting & alteration (The Open Standards, n.d.). According to The Open Standards, storms and floods includes thunderstorms, tropical storms,
hurricanes and cyclones, tornadoes, hailstorms, ice storms and blizzards, dust storms and erosions of the beaches. Temperature extremes are heat

Weather And Weather In Albert Camus's The Stranger
As Thomas C. Foster states in his book How to Read Literature Like a Professor, if a reader is analyzing a work, "one does well to remember, as one
starts reading a poem or story, to check the weather" (Foster 75). If there's one element of a literary work that can easily affect a scene, it is the weather.
Weather in literature can vary greatly from rain to snow to hail to fog and onwards. There is one type of weather, however, that is prominently featured
within Albert Camus' novel The Stranger, and that is hot, sunny weather. The novel's protagonist Meursault frequently makes remarks of the weather
surrounding him, from the blazing sun at his mother's funeral to the blinding light on a beach in Algiers where he shoots a man dead. If connected, the
reader can understand that the weather is simply not there to set the scene –– it is there to affect Meursault's feelings and actions in the moment. The
first major example is on the march to his mother's funeral, where Meursault frequently decides to take in the scenery, rather than the death of his
mother. Rather than mourn her, he to describe that he might understand his mother more by the seeing the beautiful scenery and the cypress trees. This
is simply pushed out of the way when he notices the area his mother lived in "with the sun bearing down, making the whole landscape shimmer with
heat, was inhuman and oppressive" (Camus 15). He, despite the tragedy in his life, focuses more on his physical need to cool off, the fact that the sun
was "making it hard for [him] to see or think straight" (Camus 17), and focusing on what is currently in front of him. Then the second major example is
the shooting on the beach, where Meursault ultimately kills an Arab. As Meursault contemplates shooting the Arab harassing Raymond, the sun is
described as a force on the protagonist. Watching the man lay on the beach, he describes the sun–influenced beach "pressing on [his] back" (Camus 58)
and how the burning "made [him] move forward" (Camus 59). Although he displays only detached emotion, the sun literally and metaphorically makes
Meursault hot–headed and impulsive, describing how under the sun "[his] forehead especially was hurting [him], all the veins throbbing under the

Weather In A Thousand Splendid Suns

  • 1. Weather In A Thousand Splendid Suns Foster points out that the weather plays a critical role in a work of literature. Whether it be for plot development or for a democratic reason, rain, snow, or fog plays a significant role in literature. In general, rain can bring about enlightenment and restoration, and snow can bring abstract thought. What an author does with rain, snow, or fog in the novel can signify a change in character or parallel the atmosphere or what is happening in the novel. For much of A Thousand Splendid Suns, the characters must withstand a drought. However, when there was a snowfall during the winter of 1992, "[Laila] would retreat back to her room, sit on the bed, and watch the snow falling" (208). Instead of going outside to feel the snow, Laila remains ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

In the weeks preceding the bushfires, there had been a series of exceptional heatwaves in south–eastern Australia and particularly Victoria. The heatwave that accompanied the bushfires on the day broke records. Much of Victoria, including Melbourne and 20 other centres registered unprecedented maximum temperatures. Melbourne reached 46.4В° Celsius, the highest in 154 years of record keeping. The causes of these heatwaves were blocking high pressure systems over the Tasman Sea, which channelled hot, dry tropical air over south–eastern Australia. –Low rainfall: The soaring temperatures of the heatwaves were preceded by months of very ...

  • 3. Analyzing Anomalous Weather In recent years, scientists and the general public have become increasingly aware of climate change. Scientists have begun and continue to study historical and geologic records in order to determine natural patterns versus human–induced changes in climate. By studying historical data and recent impacts, scientists may be able to determine consequences people will face now and in the future. One of the potential consequences of the changing climate is an increase in anomalous weather events. By definition, an anomaly is an irregularity, or something that varies from the normal pattern or range. For the purpose of this study, anomalous weather refers to measured temperature and precipitation values which deviate from the normal range for weather in the area of interest. Extreme weather phenomena result in numerous instances of property damage, human displacement, and loss of human life in the United States and globally each year. In recent years, there seems to have been an increase in anomalous weather conditions, such as floods, droughts, severe storms, and high temperatures, among other types of events. Extreme weather episodes affect a range of sectors including agriculture, and food security, water, health, and tourism (Cooney, 2012). Some areas, such as developing countries, are more vulnerable than others due to lack of funds, planning, and infrastructure (Cooney, 2012). However, more needs to be done in all areas in order to prepare for the rising number of these ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Weather Symbolism In The Great Gatsby Rain, heat, fog, the weather had an immense role in both the setting and symbolically. Like Thomas Foster stated, "weather is never just weather. It's never just rain. And that goes for snow, sun, warmth, cold, and probably sleet."(Fos) Weather in The Great Gatsby is enriched with meaning and impact to the novel and one example being when Gatsby and Daisy met again after five years. The morning before Gatsby and Daisy were going to meet, after Nick secretly arranged for Daisy to have tea with Gatsby in his house, Gatsby send for Nick's lawn to be mowed and for a "greenhouse" to be set up in his Nick's house.

Additionally, another weather forecast that had an impact was the mist that formed in the bay that divided Gatsby's and Daisy's houses. On the day that Gatsby and Daisy reunited and they and Nick went on a tour of Gatsby house, they all went to the dock and Gatsby stated "If it wasn't for the mist we could see your home across the bay"(Fit), "You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock"(Fit). The green light represents Gatsby's dreams he haves for his future and having Daisy is one of them, so when the mist/fog is dividing his house and Daisy's house the readers will probably think that it represents that because Daisy is with him, Gatsby reached his green light. Thomas Foster stated, "Fog, for instance. It almost always signals some sort of confusion"(Fos), and with that being said the mist covering the green light at the end of Daisy's dock represents confusion within Gatsby because even though Daisy is next to him at the time, he knows that she is still not truly his. Furthermore, the big conflict, the climax happens on one of the hottest days the characters experienced in the novel and there is a purpose for that. "The heat oppressive, the sun destructive"(Fos), said Thomas Foster. On the day that Gatsby and Daisy where going to tell Tom that they wanted to be together, that's when Daisy started to complaining and saying that "it's so hot"(Fit) on "the verge of tears"(Fit) and that they shall all go to town, they got in ...

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 to a greater extent, but also to visualize it. It had been five years since they were last together, and in that, the rain represents the despair left over from their time apart.

  • 7. The Characteristics And Differences Between Weather And... People often confuse between climate and weather– the two really are quite different. Weather describes the atmospheric condition over a short period of time that is from day to day or week to week. While climate describes average conditions over a long period of time. Step out and you experience many facets of weather. Air temperature and pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, cloud type and cover and the amount and form of precipitation are all the characteristics of the momentary conditions we call weather. The sun is ultimately responsible for the weather. The rays from sun are absorbed differently by land and water surfaces, equal amounts of solar radiation heat the ground more quickly than they do water. Differential warming in turn causes variations in the temperature and pressure of the overlying masses of air. As the air mass warms, it rises higher and become lighter into the atmosphere.

This is the suitable climate for raising crops especially rice. 8.Humid Continental A great variety in precipitation and temperature characterize this climate and is usually found in Northern Hemisphere continent's mid–latitude interiors. For example, Manitoba in Canada, Winnipeg are located deep in the North American continent which has a humid continental climate. Air masses are chilled by the Arctic ice and snow flow south over these areas and frequently collide with tropical air masses that are causing change in weather conditions. Usually these areas experience four seasons and the length of each season is determined by the latitude of the particular region. 9. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The rain battered the windows of the cafeteria, and I assumed that this was just an ordinary storm. Well, I was wrong. My thoughts about the weather would be forever altered, and I found out just how stunningly frightening severe weather can be. It was just another ordinary day of 5th grade. It was cloudy outside, and we had heard about the severe weather that might come on the news. We just shooed the precautions away and forgot about it. That is, until it started storming. Bad idea. I was at my before school program, JCPRD. I sat with Anna, my best friend, peering out of the large, blue–tinted windows at the enraged clouds outside. They gushed rain and radiated lightning, illuminating our nervous faces. We were starting to get concerned. The distant, eerie roars of thunder filled our ears as the sheets of rain spilled from the roof and lashed the building. This seemed bad, but the situation only grew worse. My heart started to thud faster and louder as I walked to my classroom. The winds were whooshing louder and louder, and the thunder was growing more and more rapid. "Good morning class," My teacher, Mr. Whalen, said as we all walked in. "Today a severe weather threat has been issued, so be ready if we have to go to a tornado shelter room."

  • 10. Examples Of Weather In The Great Gatsby "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.

Regardless of the fact that it is not an immediate gathering, there is still somebody/something to fault. Example: Harry Potter. Voldemort has executed Harry's guardians yet has saved Harry his life all the while. This is symbolic as it demonstrates Voldemort's control over Harry.

  • 13. Weather In Purple Hibiscus Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel, Purple Hibiscus, is an unconventional coming of age novel, set in postcolonial Nigeria. Kambili, a teenage Igbo girl, lives with her brother Jaja, mother and her wealthy, religious zealot father, who abuses the family in the name of Catholicism. Kambili sees her life as the norm, however her paradigm completely changes when she and Jaja go to spend a week at her Aunty Ifeoma's house; and the freedom they experience creates a staggering rift within their family. It addresses various themes and motifs, including religion, domestic abuse, silence, and political strife. However, one of the more underrated themes in the book is the imagery of nature; the text is littered with vivid imagery and analogies connecting the characters with this theme. Weather is one aspect of nature that becomes prevalent, and gives the events in the book a deeper and more subtle meaning that goes missed by most. Adichie uses the weather as a symbolic undertone to illustrate the emotional shift of Kambili between her life in Engu and her newfound freedom in Nsukka. Weather is a symbol of nature that is the most blatant reflection of the Achikes' lives, and yet is the most subtle in illustrating how it evolves. The second chapter of the book opens with a normal day in the life of Kambili: she is doing her homework when Mama comes into her room, with Kambili's uniforms in hand, fresh off of the clothesline outside.

  • 14. The Importance Of Weather In Literature Angelina Blackwell AP Literature and Composition Mrs. Smith 9/20/17 Weather can influence many things in literature. It can influence the mood, plot, characters, & setting. Foster makes it very clear to us that an author will never put weather into a story with no reasoning behind it. Weather is not just simply a setting in literature. The author begins the chapter "It's More Than Just Rain or Snow" by explaining what mood the quote "It was a dark and stormy night" creates. He explains how weather is never placed in a story for no reason. Weather is a factor used to create a mood in the passage. "A sunny day with no clouds in sight..." will create a happy mood while the reader could be imagining themselves in the story being outside on a beautiful clear day with the sunshine hitting them just right. That could put anyone in a cheerful mood, right? If the author started a story with "The rain was beating down on the roof as I realized it had been my first night without him...". Now obviously if the character had just lost someone they would be sad but adding rain to the scene adds the effect of sadness and allows the reader jump in the book to feel what the character is feeling. When meeting characters in the beginning of novels, the author can add how they perceive weather to let the readers get a feel for how observing they are. If the character pays no mind to the weather the reader may see that had acted as ignorant. Chapter 10 elaborates on how weather can ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 15. A Common Understanding Of Weather Menace 1.What is fog? A common understanding of this weather menace must be established before delving into its dangers. Layman's terms suggest that fog is a low hovering cloud which limits the visibility at ground level in a wide variety of intensity. From personal experience, fog may prevent you from locating your own home, or may simply cause the air to feel moist. Fog forms when the difference between air temperature and dew point is generally less than 4 В°F. Fog begins to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets suspended in the air, usually also clinging to pollutants or naturally occurring particles (ex: dust, salt, etc.) Water vapor is added to the air by: wind convergence into areas of upward direction, precipitation, daytime heating which evaporates water from the surface of large bodies of water, oceans or wetlands; transpiration from plants, cool or dry air moving over warmer water, and lifting air over mountains. Think of fog as a lower rendition of the cloud form stratus; meaning it is a lower deck that occurs when a cool air mass is confined under a warm air mass. 2.Different types of fogs? Foggiest place in the United States? Fog can form in many ways dependent on what caused the cooling and how the condensation occurred. The most common form of fog, Radiation fog, is fashioned by the cooling of terrain after sun down by thermal radiation when wind conditions are relatively calm and cloud cover is at a minimum.

  • 16. Global Warming : Extreme Weather Global Warming: Extreme Weather & Seasonal Mismatching Recent climate modeling results indicate that "extreme" weather events may become more common. Rising average temperatures produce a more variable climate system. Carbon dioxide from cars, industries and power plants trap heat near the earth 's surface. More heat means more energy. Adding more energy to the atmosphere creates the potential for more extremes. Climatologists say extreme weather events will become more common as our climate heats up. The gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants is known as Global Warming. The greenhouse effect is when the Earth 's atmosphere becomes thick with gases, such as Carbon dioxide, and substances which trap the sun 's radiation, making the Earth warmer. The extreme weather is leading to climate changes which are resulting in seasonal mismatching.

  • 18. Theme Of Weather In The Great Gatsby Many great books use many different natural occurrences or things to symbolize themes, moods, a meaning of the book, etc. The Great Gatsby is no exception, Fitzgerald uses many different methods to blend the story into what it is, but one thing that he uses that might slip through the reader's mind is weather. Fitzgerald uses weather throughout the book to set/show the mood of the chapter/scene. Right from the start, Fitzgerald uses weather to set the tone for Nick. "And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer"(Fitzgerald 4). Nick had just moved to the East, looking to start a new life. It represents his high hopes that he has for his life ahead. He states earlier that he was restless after the war, so he is very eager to achieve these goals he has in mind. It also represents the coming changes in his life. Summer starts to come around right as he goes to Daisy's house, something that will affect his life for years to come. It is no accident that summer comes right as his life is about to change. Fitzgerald also uses a lot of weather to set the emotional tone when Gatsby reunites with Daisy. He uses the rain in chapter five to represent the nervousness of Gatsby. "With his hands still in his coat pockets he stalked by me into the hall, turned sharply as if he were on a wire, and disappeared into the living–room. It wasn't a bit funny. Aware of the loud beating of my own heart I pulled the door to against the increasing rain"(86). A little earlier in the chapter, Gatsby also says that the rain is supposed to stop at four. Almost as if he this trying to tell himself that he will stop being nervous once Daisy shows up, but contrary to that, the rain intensifies, and so does Gatsby's signs of being nervous. But later in the chapter, Nick says that the sun starts to shine again, and he mentions, "While the rain continued it had seemed like the murmur of their voices, rising and swelling a little now and then with gusts of emotion"(88–89).

The abiotic factor affects the biotic and flora because since abiotic is weather and nonliving things but biotic is living things. A biotic factor is living things so is just the opposite of abiotic. Examples of this would be animals, humans, plants etc. anything that is living. We have animals that hibernate in the Winter because they can't survive in the temperature that winter provides for them so they have to hibernate. But like an example polar bears can't live in Iowa even though in Iowa we have winter and it is really cold but the polar bear can't live here because it is not cold enough here and it would die. Ecosystem The ecosystem that the Katoski Park has is a temperate grassland, temperate woodland, and a temperate forest. Temperate grassland means grassland that is covered in thick grass. Here is and example right from the Katoski Park of what a temperate grassland would look like at the park. Temperate woodland means less annual rainfall in the summer and is hot in humid but has more rainfall in the fall. This is another example of what a temperate woodland would look like in Katoski Park. This picture was taken right out of Katoski Park. Temperate forest means broad leaved deciduous trees.

According to David Crook in his article How big is the Hunting Economy, there are about 13.7 million people or approximately six percent of the United States population that consider themselves to be hunters. When all of these people get up the morning of opening day there is one thing that affects the way that they hunt. Every avid hunter knows that they have to base their hunting style off of the weather. The different factors of the weather such as the temperature, wind speed, barometric pressure, and precipitation changes the way the deer move and can either make or break a deer hunter's season. The movement of a whitetail deer changes according to the weather. There are several different factors to consider when talking about the weather, but the one of the leading factors is the temperature. Some people believe that the colder it is outside, the better the hunting becomes. This is true until it gets so cold that the deer have to bed down and not move to stay warm. When the temperature begins to drop down to about 35 degrees Fahrenheit, the deer begin scrambling for food to prepare for winter and the rut. The rut is a deer's mating season. This has the deer at a constant movement and makes for prime hunting. When the temperature begins to change, the amount of movement of the deer begins to change also.

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). Heat Waves In this section, a heat wave is referred to as "abnormally hot weather lasting days to weeks". It further goes on to say that the recent number of heat waves have been steadily increasing with numbers almost "triple the long–term average" (Extreme Weather, 2014). In this section it is claimed that the droughts in Texas in the year 2011, and in the Midwest in the year of 2012, that records were set for the highest monthly average temperatures to date (Extreme Weather, 2014). A picture of a map is provided of the coast–to–coast 100 degree days in 2011, in conclusion, it is observable that heat waves are on a steady increase. Droughts A drought is described as an event that happens due to a rise in temperatures that leads to an increased rate of evaporation, this even includes the loss of moisture through plant leaves (Extreme Weather, 2014).

"The day agreed upon was pouring rain. At eleven o'clock a man in a raincoat dragging a lawn–mower tapped at my front door and said that Mr. Gatsby had sent him over to cut my grass."

"The next day was broiling, almost the last, certainly the warmest, of the summer. As my train emerged from the tunnel into the sunlight, only the hot whistles of the National Biscuit Company broke the simmering hush at noon. The straw seats of the car hovered on the edge of combustion; the woman next to me perspired delicately for a while into her white shirtwaist and then, as her newspaper dampened under her fingers, lapsed despairingly into the deep heat with a desolate cry" (120–121). This symbolizes the upcoming conflict and foreshadows the climax of emotions that are to come, with the confrontation in the suite, Daisy's rejection, and Myrtle's death. The heat also shows the mix and confusion of emotions in Daisy, and Daisy recognizes that " '... it's so hot'... 'And everything's so confused'..." (125). This quote symbolizes Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. It is when the weather is at it's hottest that Gatsby's and Daisy's relationship reaches a climax. Also when Nick, Gatsby, Daisy, Jordan, and Tom are all sitting in the Plaza, the book describes the daytime to also be unbearably hot. " 'Oh, let's have fun,' she begged him. 'It's too hot to fuss.'

In this unit, students will observe models and analyze data to learn how the interplay between atmospheric variables such as temperature, air pressure, and moisture leads to the typical and sometimes extreme weather events that humans' experience. Analyzing weather data to make predictions is a key part of this unit and students' understanding of how weather patterns can help us predict future weather events. This unit aims at explaining how Earth's tilt, along with its changing position around the Sun causes variation in the amount of incoming solar radiation (insolation) that reaches the surface. This unequal distribution of energy causes variations in seasons we experience on Earth. Students also will learn that climate is influenced by latitude, proximity to large bodies of water, ocean currents, among other factors.

In the Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger uses weather to exploit emotion. As rain approaches many people start to feel depressed, but also content. Holden explains why he believes people are crazy for leaving the cemetery just because of the rain. He starts to talk about what the scenery looks like, and how he feels. Holden states "It rained on his lousy tombstone, and it rained on the grass on his stomach. All the visitors that were visiting the cemetery started running like hell over their cars. That's what really drove me crazy" (172). Holden becomes sad as he sees everyone leave just because of the rain, he feels depressed that people would just leave their loved ones alone. Holden's emotions are depressing, but he will also show a sign of joy due to the weather. Holden changes to a happy state of mind as he sees the many parents hide under the carousel for cover. He talks about feeling happy as he views Phoebe going around and around on the carousel. He states "It began to rain like a bastard. All the parents and mothers and everybody went over and stood right under the roof of the carousel.

  • 39. Weather And Weather In Albert Camus's The Stranger As Thomas C. Foster states in his book How to Read Literature Like a Professor, if a reader is analyzing a work, "one does well to remember, as one starts reading a poem or story, to check the weather" (Foster 75). If there's one element of a literary work that can easily affect a scene, it is the weather. Weather in literature can vary greatly from rain to snow to hail to fog and onwards. There is one type of weather, however, that is prominently featured within Albert Camus' novel The Stranger, and that is hot, sunny weather. The novel's protagonist Meursault frequently makes remarks of the weather surrounding him, from the blazing sun at his mother's funeral to the blinding light on a beach in Algiers where he shoots a man dead. If connected, the reader can understand that the weather is simply not there to set the scene –– it is there to affect Meursault's feelings and actions in the moment. The first major example is on the march to his mother's funeral, where Meursault frequently decides to take in the scenery, rather than the death of his mother. Rather than mourn her, he to describe that he might understand his mother more by the seeing the beautiful scenery and the cypress trees. This is simply pushed out of the way when he notices the area his mother lived in "with the sun bearing down, making the whole landscape shimmer with heat, was inhuman and oppressive" (Camus 15).

Then the second major example is the shooting on the beach, where Meursault ultimately kills an Arab. As Meursault contemplates shooting the Arab harassing Raymond, the sun is described as a force on the protagonist. Watching the man lay on the beach, he describes the sun–influenced beach "pressing on [his] back" (Camus 58) and how the burning "made [him] move forward" (Camus 59). Although he displays only detached emotion, the sun literally and metaphorically makes Meursault hot–headed and impulsive, describing how under the sun "[his] forehead especially was hurting [him], all the veins throbbing under the ...
