Oh so excited, I am almost done with these blogs. After this blog I will have only one more blog to write. Then I shall be done. This summer homework assignment has been rather grueling, but it is mainly my own fault for being a major procrastinator. It is a habit that I have to learn to kick. I am not sure, though, how cold turkey would work on procrastination. Anyways, back to the book. I suppose here I can discuss all the new words, names, and ideas I am learning from Foster. Just flipping through the pages and whatever notes or highlighting I have. Sadness has overcome me because my favorite pink highlighter died today. In chapter ten I have some important – well, important to me – tips highlighted about the symbolism of rain. For example, rain can serve as a plot device, as atmospherics, and as a democratic element. Other things rain can symbolize is that rain is cleansing and restorative. I have a word highlighted that I did not know, verisimilitude. Rain is also an important element of spring. The other important element of rain is that it mixes with sun to make rainbows. After rain, fog is discussed. Fog can be a signal of confusion. Finally, snow is discussed. Foster writes that snow can be just as symbolic as rain. There is so much symbolism in a rain drop, who knew?
