  1. Ch 10: It’s More Than Just Rain or Snow Skyler Lewis 4th Period 9/28/11

  2. “It was a dark and stormy night” • This phrase is used a lot to describe a gloomy mood in a scene. • Every story needs a setting, and weather is a part of the setting. • “Weather is never just weather” (Foster 75), there is always some meaning behind it.

  3. Rain • Rain is a very popular weather found in books. • “Rain can be more mysterious, murkier, more isolating than other weather conditions” (Foster 76). • One of the paradoxes of rain is how clean it is coming down and how much mud it can make when it lands.

  4. Spring • Rain is also restorative, This is because it’s association with spring. • “Rain is the principle element of spring” (Foster 77). • April showers bring May flowers. • Spring is the season not only of renewal, but of hope, of new things to come.

  5. Rainbows • In a story the rainbow comes whenever all problems have been solved and the mood is peaceful once again. • “Once you can figure out rainbow,s you can do rain and all the rest” (Foster 79). • Rainbows are hard to miss, and they have deep culture.

  6. Fog • “Fog is a mental and ethical as well as physical” (Foster 80). • An author uses fog to suggest that people can’t see clearly, that matters under consideration are murky.

  7. Snow • Snow is used to indicate inhuman, abstract thought, particularly though concerned with nothingness. • “ Snow is clean, stark, severe, warm, inhospitable, inviting, playful, suffocating, filthy” ( Foster 80).

  8. Great Expectations • There is a lot of mist in this novel, namely on the marshes of Pip’s hometown. • The mists are around when Pip meets the convict in the cemetery. • “…marshes; and that the low, leaden line beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind was rushing, … bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip (Dickens 4).

  9. Life • Your moods change as life changes, just like in books. • Sometimes the rain brings your mood down to a sad, sluggish bored mood, since there is nothing to do, but to others the rain may bring them joy.
