Chapter 10, wheather, and how it can be applied

It's Never just rain. A novel always has a reason to describe the forces of nature being encoutered in the story, if its a dark and stormy day, or one of those calm quiet days, either an unexpected visitor will show up at the door looking for help or on the calm day something spooky will be encountered, like the discovery of an erie cave that never used to be there. These may sound like cliches but they are common in the writing world because the weather is described always for an underlying reason. A sunny day is never encountered in a war story or a twister is never described in a Briar Rabbit story. The weather is just another way to add to the flodd of emotions into a readers head, the rain appeals to two extra senses, feeling and hearing as the readr imagines the cold rain and the pitter patter, the heightened detail allows the reader to dive into the story and better understand the theme. But with the rain comes rainbows, a universal sign of wealth and happiness, so the rain in the book can stand for suffering, but like I say, from suffering comes greatness. More than just imagine myself in the same weather as the main character i will analyze what the rainy or cloudy or extra dark night might really be foreshadowing.
