In the summer I often leave home early in the morning, and roam about fields and lanes all day, or even escape for days or weeks together; but, saving in the country, I seldom go out until after dark, though, Heaven be thanked, I love its light and feel the cheerfulness it sheds upon the earth, as much as any creature living. I have fallen insensibly into this habit, both because it favours my infirmity and because it affords me greater opportunity of speculating on the characters and occupations of those who fill the streets. The glare and hurry of broad noon are not adapted to idle pursuits like mine; a glimpse of passing faces caught by the light of a street-lamp or a shop window is often better for my purpose than their full revelation in the daylight; and, if I must add the truth, night is kinder in this respect than day, which too often destroys an air-built castle at the moment of its completion, without the least ceremony or remorse. That constant pacing to and fro, that never-ending restlessness, that incessant tread of feet wearing the rough stones smooth and glossy--is it not a wonder how the dwellers in narrows ways can bear to hear it! Think of a sick man in such a place as Saint Martin's Court, listening to the footsteps, and in the midst of pain and weariness obliged, despite himself (as though it were a task he must perform) to detect the child's step from the man's, the slipshod beggar from the booted exquisite, the lounging from the busy, the dull heel of the sauntering outcast from the quick tread of an expectant pleasure-seeker--think of the hum and noise always being present to his sense, and of the stream of life that will not stop, pouring on, on, on, through all his restless dreams, as if he were condemned to lie, dead but conscious, in a noisy churchyard, and had no hope of rest for centuries to come.
However, when Gatsby and Daisy rekindle their friendship and love, the weather clears up and becomes sunny and beautiful. The sudden change in weather shows the change in the character’s feelings. Towards the conclusion of the novel, as tension begins to rise, the weather becomes very hot. Usually with hot weather, tempers begin to rise and people become more short-fused. The hottest day of the year is the same day Gatsby’s and Tom’s confrontation occurs.
Even though people say that the United States is the best place to live, I would prefer Peru because of the major differences and similarities they have First difference between Peru and the United States is the seasons of the year. Peru is located in the middle of the America continent while the US is at the north, which causes a serious changes of weather that I don’t like. I really like how my hometown, Peru, has most time of the year a hot and fresh summer, which make me able to go the beaches more frequently than I do here. I could spent every weekend at a swimming pool outdoors without worrying about the rain of the coldness. On the other hand, The United States has summer, spring, fall and the worst for me,
In “The Lottery”, the setting is a summer day, June 27th, with a nice clear and sunny sky. It had the warmth of a full-summer day, the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The setting of “The Lottery” showed situational irony because when a person thinks of a nice clear sky, it is usually visualized as a nice society with many positive things happening. In reality though, the society was full of killing. On the other hand, “Catching Fire’s” setting was placed in the winter time with a dark and gloomy society.
At first, the 'negro hut' in which they lived suited him and he enjoyed watching people in their daily activities. [3] However, the weather in the summer was hot and the hut leaked in the rain. He also suffered dysentery and marsh fever. While in Martinique, he produced between ten and twenty works (twelve being the most common estimate). While in Martinique, Gauguin traveled widely there and apparently came into contact with the small community of Indian immigrants, a contact that would later influence his art through the incorporation of Indian symbols.
The Joads and the other traveling families would soon change their mind when they see that California was a place of despair and poverty amongst migrant workers. While the other members of the Joad family felt the change in mood, Grandpa, Connie, and Rose of Sharon most outwardly shared their changed thoughts on California. Grandpa, who never reached California, was overenthusiastic about going at first, then after a night’s time changed his mind. Connie, with the high hopes of getting a job in radio, broke under the pressure of having a baby and a wife to take care of, and took off. Rose of Sharon, looking forward to starting anew in California with her husband and unborn baby, lost her passion for California when her husband left.
Phrases such as ‘glimmers of golden light’ and ‘spectacular sunrise’ show the positive and warm feelings that the writer is feeling. This, however, is in contrast with some of the language later on where it states ‘hot as hell’ and ‘decrepit old ferry boat’ shows both tiredness and annoyance by creating a negative tone. Source 3 uses dramatic language to add to the excited tone. “A few minutes later we were treated to a spectacular sunrise.” It creates an excited feeling because instead of lessening the feeling, like Source 1 to be sarcastic and derisive, it uses hyperbole to exaggerate it. ‘Spectacular’ heightens the sunrise because it is not a word we normally use, and it makes the sunrise incredible and
We are the earth, and our dream is the sun; it warms our skin, it shines through our dusty windows, it lets us see beauty that gleams in its golden rays. But unfortunately, many of us don’t have the courage to step outside the dark house with the dusty windows, and live the dream we only see in our surreal minds. Some of us let the dream fade into a small light in the back of our minds. Humans are so conformed
Traffic congestion spoils everyone’s fun, but there is a long term strategy to reduce the number of parking spaces in the valley and get the people to use the improved, free public transportation. Yet the park are diverse and massive enough to soak up the crowds, allowing you to appreciate its immense beauty and find solitude. Yosemite is a place that can be experienced on a variety of levels: many people just spend a day in Yosemite, doing a quick, thrilling whip around the top attractions. Others return frequently to photograph, hike, explore, observe the wild life or just soak up the atmosphere. Yosemite’s mesmerizing landscape never fails to
then the same thing will happen. Also tennis is more of an outdoor summer sport, so if there is places to build the courts, but it is a epically hot climate, like Africa’s, then chances are that people won’t want to go and spend hours running around outside. Also in places like Mexico, where it gets so hot that they take breaks during the day to sleep through the hottest part of the day, then it could be likely that the people there are more lethargic and don’t want to play tennis. Also, countries with a high population density like China, and in particular the smaller countries won’t have so much
