Exploration of Character Development through Precipitation During the novel of Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert portrays the maturement of the characters through subtle types of precipitation in the background. Precipitation allows the reader to notice the revelation, or unmasking of a character’s true self. This exposure supports the reader’s better informed opinions of the characters and knowledge of the characters’ state of mind during the context. Also the context of the form of rain indicates a possible inner turmoil within a character and illustrates the need for that character to surpass their flawed selves. Flaubert symbolizes a barrier from through authenticity through narrative use of mist. Emma finds her judgement and decisions covered by mist affecting her decision-making leading to the many irrational thoughts that she has, throughout the novel. This occurs when she meets Leon again at a Parisian church, which Flaubert shrouds “in the mist” as a representation of the façade that he will construct (185). Furthermore, Leon attempts to validate growth and maturity to Emma through a guise, in which he uses Rodolphian tactics to impress Emma. However, he doesn’t realize the mist, or guise, surrounding his environment dissipates, revealing the same insecure young man Emma remembers from Yonville. Coupled with authenticity, Flaubert making mist a physical obstacle serves as a representation of veneers created by certain characters. Mist blocks buildings from the

Ray Bradbury, the mind behind Dandelion Wine, uses a wide range of rhetorical devices to describe the magical atmosphere of the passage.
At the outset, Bradbury uses metaphor and imagery in order to give us a visual scenery of his point of view, the cupola. The author metaphorically emphasizes the "beacon from his lighthouse in all directions over swarming seas of elm and oak and maple" in order to force a direct association of how he views the land from the cupola. Imagery is shown when the author mentions the "hoarfrosted icehouse door" to visualize how the door appears in the reader's mental eye.
The description of “the lights...shadowy lines of a palatial chateau” (3), the island and characters help the reader see the story as it unfolds. When “He lifted the knocker and it creaked stiffly….The door opened … as suddenly as if it were on a spring and Rainsford stood blinking in the river of glaring gold light that poured out” (4). The description of Rainsford’s appearance at the door of the chateau creates an underlying sense of dread. The reader has a macabre anticipation of what might be in store for Rainsford.
A strong work ethic, a fierce focus, an attention to detail, and a strong desire for success…these are some of the qualities that make Miss Elizabeth Peck a very special young lady. I have known Elizabeth for two and a half years as her classroom teacher and Beta Club advisor. In every interaction that I have had with Elizabeth, she has been the picture of maturity and class. She is an extraordinary young lady who has proven that persistence is the most reliable indicator of success.
Miss Strangeworth, a kind old lady in a small town where everybody knows each other. Living all by herself, known for her attracting roses in front of her house. Turns out she isn’t the lady everybody had in their mind, she was more than just an old lady. She is a bully, hurting other people by sending letters anonymously.
Miss Strangeworth hurt other people with her colored paper letter that she sent all around town.
The lie of a parent can be well armed that it takes maturity of a child to become aware of it. They might forgive but not forget, nor-erased traumatic events that will remain in their memories. Our educational actions receive from adults (parents, teachers, siblings, grandparents) in our infancy-stages build and create our characteristics. We become who we are based on our personality- a result of our temper. Our behavior is reflected based on beliefs, values and life experiences.
Weather is also used to emphasize the mood and atmosphere of the scenes or events, like how heat means things are heating up. Fitzgerald also makes good use of the characters to display symbolism, having Daisy symbolize human greed and moral corruption. Some honorable mentions would be the Valley of Ashes, Doctor T.J. Eckleburg’s eyes, and the geography of the West and East

Mockingbirds
In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, killing a mockingbird is considered committing a sin. Two men are considered metaphorical or figurative mockingbirds in the fact that they are considerate to others, but have something that puts them at a disadvantage to other people, these two men are Arthur, Boo, Radley and Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson is at a bigger disadvantage because of how he was born, than what happened to him later in life. Tom has the disadvantage of being African American, in a racist town, and having a rubber like left hand, he was crippled on the left side.
The impact of the weather scene is a way to indirectly relate to the murder of Victor’s young brother, William. The author, Shelley utilizes weather to convey the Victor’s emotional feelings about the murder of his bother William. Through imagery in the quote, Shelley is able to utilize words to describe the weather relating them to both the storm and what has happened to our protagonist. To me, the flashes of light illuminate the lake which is his brother. William’s illumination is the light of his life is soon quenched when the author describes the “pitchy darkness”
As a result many gothic subtitles appear, and it is true to regard Rebecca as ‘detective mystery’ since it includes a murder case. 25
4.3.2 The Setting and Weather
The most eminent gothic elements revolve around the setting, Manderley. The setting in this story has a major contribution to the tone and mood of gothic. Rebecca is a classical- modern gothic literature.
Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains,” tells the story of a self-regulating house that is all that is left of the world. Through the use of diction, the reader is able to understand the shifts in tone throughout the story. In the beginning of the story, we are introduced to the house. Bradbury uses terms such as “ruined city,” “radioactive glow,” and “rubble and ashes,” (Bradbury 1) effectively creating a dark and forlorn atmosphere. The author’s word choice creates an image in the reader’s mind of how desolate the house’s surroundings are, ultimately contributing to the somber tone.
These sections set themselves apart from others by their use of imagery:
“... and I planted carrot seed that never came up, for the wind breathed a blow-away spell; the wind is warm, was warm, and the days above burst unheeded, explode their atoms of snow-black beanflower and white rose, mock the last intuitive who-dunnit, who-dunnit of the summer thrush...” (Frame 3).
These passages serve to highlight how Daphne 's mind deviates from the norm. She has an unusually vivid imagination that seems almost childlike at times. The use of personification puts further emphasis on her childishness, but her overactive imagination is not always harmless and sometimes takes a darker turn, revealing fears that appear to be deeply
