    Jacob's Geodes: A Short Story

    6. Predictably, after the clouds appeared, rain shortly followed. It began as a distant “hiss” sound, and we all ran for cover; however, within two minutes, it was an absolute downpour. It was as if mother nature had poured a colossal water bucket upon us; the gulleys were immediately flowing with water, and the ground quickly became saturated. Our cover was a tent with no floor, and we had to lie down to fit. “This….ible…..storm!” my grandpa seemingly mumbled; the rain was so deafening, I couldn’t make out his sentence. I nodded my head in false comprehension, for to request a repeat would have been futile.…

    Essay On Drought In Temecula

    Back in 2014, water regulations in Temecula became more strict because of the drought and in wake of the 14 scorching San Diego County wildfires that left many without homes. According to Craig Schultz of Press Enterprise newspaper, the wide range of restrictions included “Watering outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes excess runoff, using a hose, without a shut-off nozzle, for any purpose, using drinking water in non-recirculating fountains or decorative water devices.” This points out that the districts are taking the steps needed to conserve as much as they can. In April 2016, the Rancho District actually lifted some of the water restrictions to focus on other factors of the issue. From the Temecula Patch article, Renee Schiavone writes that “EMWD is actively engaging with the Water Resources Control Board to encourage changes to the regulations that recognize local water supply conditions and preserve…

    Rain Man Essay

    Moreover, many misconceptions exist regarding people with ASD and before I move on, I would like to address some prominent myths about autism. Due to the popular movie Rain Man, many people in America and elsewhere believe that every individual with ASD is an Autistic Savant, as in they are exceptionally gifted in a specialized field, such as artistic ability, musical acuity, and more (Sicile-Kira, 2). This is a falsehood, as only ten percent of people with ASD have astounding gifts and are considered Autistic Savants (Frith, 29). Another pertinent myth to discuss is the idea that those who are nonverbal are unintelligent. Sadly, before I began learning about autism and related conditions, to some extent I believed this to be true.…

    Use of Weather in Jane Eyre

    In the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, good weather is Bronte’s tool to foreshadow positive events or moods and poor weather is her instrument for setting the tone for negative events or moods. This technique is exercised throughout the entire novel, alerting the readers about the upcoming atmosphere. Jane’s mood is determined by the weather mentioned. For example, after Jane was publicly and falsely accused of being a liar by Mr. Brocklehurst, an upcoming positive event was predicted when Jane described her surroundings: “Some heavy clouds swept from the sky by a rising wind, had left the moon bare; and her light streaming in through a window near, shone full both on us and on the approaching figure, which we at once recognize as Miss Temple”…
