Shantonia Reckley Professor Anderson-Pearce ENC 1101 February 12‚ 2014 The Storm The theme of the storm is a figurative and symbolic one of Lust‚ Passion and Adultery and we see it illustrated alongside nature.

Generally‚ the sound of hurricane force winds and snapping trees don’t combine to make the sweetest lullaby but for the hurricane season those sounds rocked me to sleep. Mix with my mother’s panic and some house leaks‚ I didn’t necessarily have the most eventful hurricane experience. The approach of hurricane Irma didn’t make me as nervous as much as it should have‚ most likely due to my mother worrying enough for the both of us. We covered everything important and not so important things in plastic

As I stepped out onto the balcony of my grandfathers tall‚ rustic cabin‚ the smell of wet dirt hit my nose. As I gazed down the mountain and across the valley‚ I could see dark and ominous clouds were quickly rolling towards us‚ heavy with rain. The straight line winds produced gusts that were as powerful as a tornado.

Sally just shrugged as they were trudging through the muddy‚ rainy‚ and crowded streets with wet coats. Everything was obscure‚ the gutters were filled with dirty water. Their drenched feet and boots whined as they stepped on the cemented sidewalk.Their bodies had gave up on providing heat and presented to the atmosphere’s harsh temperatures. The small droplets upon their face chilled their skin and faintly glowed due to the foggy streetlights. The wind howled and echoed into their ears while the

Prologue Thunder cracked throughout the dark night. The wind blew through every town‚ bringing fear with it. But one home was oblivious to this‚ the wide castle that sat gazing upon the kingdom of Ardalane. Screams echoed throughout the castle walls‚ causing every person to cringe in worry. The screams belonged to their beloved queen‚ who was birthing her first child.

Irma‚ the deadly hurricane that held no conscious in terminating any object in its path was soon to arrive Florida. The black ominous clouds were suffocating the sun. The temperature dropped‚ the air was bone-chilling sending shivers throughout my body. Slowly the atmosphere was beginning to feel intoxicating. There was no solution but to endure its wrath. The wind was howling in fury‚ seeking for revenge. It bent the palm trees neck and snapped it in half. The palm trees were now lifeless‚ scattered

Black clouds shrouded the Kingdom of Proule. Lightning crackled and thunder roared‚ as large rain drops poured down the land. On the distance‚ east from the Kingdom‚ could be found the Oakwoods. As the loud downpour of the rain echoed‚ one can faintly hear a cry. Specifically‚ a baby’s cry. Tracing where the cry came from‚ a man stood in front of a grave. A grave built from stones being stacked together. The man is wearing a black hood‚ which protects him from the rains downpour. The noise came

1) A small rocket is being designed to make wind shear measurements in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Before testing begins‚ the designers are developing a simulation of the rocket’s trajectory. They have derived the following equation that they believe will predict the performance of the test rocket‚ where t is time elapsed in seconds. The equation gives the height above the ground level at time t. The first term (60) is the height above ground level of the nose of the rocket. height = 60 + 2

Severe thunderstorms are aided in their development by: random turbulent eddies that lift small pockets of air‚ unequal surface heating‚ uplift provided by features of the terrain (such as along mountain barriers‚ small hills‚ and gentle rises)‚ diverging upper-level winds interacting with converging surface winds and rising air‚ and warm air rising along a frontal zone. 4.
