Another powerful scene that connects weather and Jane's emotional state occurs when Jane realizes that Rochester is already married. She writes from a forlorn state of mind:
Jane Eyre, who had been an ardent expectant woman-almost a bride-was a cold, solitary girl again: her life was pale; her prospects were desolate. A Christmas frost had come at midsummer; a white December storm had whirled over June; ice glazed the ripe apples, drifts crushed the blowing roses; on hayfield and cornfield lay a frozen shroud; lanes which last night blushed full of flowers, to-day were pathless with untrodden snow... My hopes were all dead... my cherished wishes, yesterday so blooming and glowing; they lay stark, chill livid corpses that could never revive" (324)
Bront successfully captures the depth of Jane's despair with the images of weather. We are presented again with the cold solitary life that Jane lived for so long and we also relate events in her life to December storms and crushed roses.

After the terrible events that precede her returning to Thornfield, her reunion with Rochester can be nothing but pleasant. While the two become reacquainted, Jane takes pleasure in describing the environment to him. The grass is brilliant green and the "flowers and hedges looked refreshed;...
There are, however, a number of types of caves that are formed through different processes (even volcanic action). A new theory says that some caves (about 5%) are caused through the action of sulfuric acid produced by microbial life. In this theory, microbes consume materials, oils, etc. And release hydrogen sulfide gas, which then in turn rises through rocks and combines with groundwater to produce sulfuric acid, which then

Weather "From the beginning, slowness defined it. Tedious, plodding, grinding, unrelenting slowness…And when the storm system took an unexpected turn as it spread into the central Plains, the table was set for violent weather," (Hoedel & Gutierrez, 2012). Hoedel & Gutierrez (2012) are describing the mysterious origins of the 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado, one of the deadliest in American history. After its tumultuous journey "down the Pacific Coast, across the California

Following the introduction, the report discusses framing issues, including international policy.

Weather Underground Background- During almost every major conflict in United States history there have been protests against involvement in that conflict. However, it was not until the Vietnam "Police Action" of the 1960s and 1970s that so much popular student protests coalesced into such a popular uprising that it had a significant effect upon foreign policy. Really, though, it was not just the U.S. presence in Vietnam that caused the protests,
