the first paragraph of the passage by Joan Didion, she emplies the Santa Ana winds have a negative effect on people. After her telling us what the winds are, she writes, “The baby frets. The maid sulks.” That automatically tells us the winds don’t only effect the environment, but it has a direct effect on humans. She uses words like, “unnatural stillness,” “uneasy,” and “tension,” to support her attitude toward the winds. Her choice of words sets the tone of the passage very early and continues to

Didion’s “Los Angeles Notebook”, her description of the the Santa Ana Winds encompasses an eerie and menacing style which shows how she views the wind as frightening and powerful, yet sinister and awe-inspiring. The wind, in the view of Roger Ascham, which can be seen in his excerpt in “Toxophilus” contrasts with that of Didion’s because of the way he writes about it on a more serene level. While both authors are writing about wind, their diction, imagery, syntax, and tone give similarities and differences

Ana winds of Los Angeles (UCLA Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences). Through the use of figurative language, diction, and imagery, Didion argues that winds trigger unusual behavior in people. Through the use of figurative language, Didion conveys the ominousness of the Santa Ana winds. She explains that the winds will come “whining down through the Cajon and San Gorgonio Passes.” The author personifies the winds, causing them to appear more threatening. The foreboding atmosphere of the winds causes

The Joplin Tornado got the record of the most people killed in a single tornado since 1947. The 200 mph winds destructed everything in its path. In all it destroyed 4.1 million cubic yards of land. Some of the long term effect are that 15,000 vehicles were destroyed. The estimated amount needed

different conditions. Even though they many seem different, they are in many ways similar. They both are convectional storms, or in other words rising air causes low pressure and in return, makes air rush from other areas to create extremely strong winds. Hurricanes are known to have caused an amazing amount of property damage and blizzards can have havoc on a community. Both blizzards and hurricanes can also have a huge impact on human lives. Blizzards are winter storms that are also described as

the main character of The Street, walks down the frigid sidewalk of New York observing the setting surrounding her. The author illustrates the cold by writing, “She shivered as the cold fingers of the wind touched the back of her neck…” (Petry). This quote shows the way the author portrays the wind. She uses personification to give it life.

A blizzard is a severe snow storm with winds in excess of 35 mph and visibility of less than a 1/4 mile for more than 3 hours. Blizzards can also occur after snowfall when high winds cause whiteouts (fallen snow blowing around) and snowdrifts (huge mountains of snow), which decrease visibility. In order for a snowstorm to be classified as a blizzard it must meet the following criteria: a large amount of snowfall, winds greater than 56 km/h (35 mph), and less than ¼ of a mile visibility. These conditions
