Rain

Rain Tucker


Rain can be heavy or light, however I like a light rain. Rain can be loud or soft.

Light and heavy rain can sound and feel very different. A light rain can be

very soothing, while a heavy rain is very loud. Heavy rain feels like you're in a storm, but a light rain

feels like you're in the ocean.

i like a soft sprinkling rain because you can go out side and play. Also things don't get washed

away in a soft rain.

I don't like a heavy rain because you can't go out and play. In a heavy rain lots of rocks and soil get washed away.

rain may come in many different forms but i like soft rain the best. Heavy rain is very loud.

sometimes that is good, but not always.

Rainy Ways




Although rain can be horrible, I think sometimes it's cool. Rain could be light or heavy. It also can be pouring, pounding, sprinkling, and spitting.
Light rain and heavy rain sounds and feels different. Light rain feels like a soft massage on your back and head. Heavy rain feels like a hard poke on your back. Light rain sounds soft, while heavy rain feels hard.
I like pouring rain because it feels and sounds awesome. pouring rain is so cool because it gives you a massage on your back. Pouring rain means that it's going to be humid.
I don't like rain when it rains on special events, and you can't play outside when it's rainy out. You can't have a party when it's raining outside.
So now when you plan special events, watch the weather forecast and see if it's going to rain on that day. Also, if it's rainy outside, you can always find something else to do.

Rain

Rain doesn't always come in one form. It can come in light or a heavy form. I like it when it's judt sprinlley mist outside.
Light and heavy rain feels and sounds different. Light rain feels like melted ice cream. Heavy rian feels like a hard cover book fell on you. When it's lightly raining it sounds like a gental tapping of a pencil on a book. While it's raining heavy, it sounds like harmless rocks hitting the roof or your car.
I would prefer a light drizzly falling mist, rather than a pounding downpour. I love to hear the pitter, patter of a little drizzling rain. It's so much fun to watch the rain quietly fall to the ground. When, I'm in bed it's easier to fall a sleep to the almost silent sprinkling rain.
It's no fun when it's pouring or pounding rain outside. I never like it when the rain is pounding or pouring. Pounding ans pouring rain li\eave huge puddles that leave the fields wet for days. When it is pounding or pouring rain my mom doesn't like to go anywhere.
Next time it rains, remember rain comes in different forms. It can come in light or heavy rain. I like it when it's just a sprinkley mistoutside.

RAIN


Rain can come as a light, gentle sprinkle, or it can come as a swarm of angry warps pouring down from above.

A gentle rain is a soft, quite, peaceful lamb. While on the other hand, a heavy rain is a load, hard, angry lion. Soft rain has a quiet pitter-patter on the cement, while a heavy rain is nails falling from the sky.

My favorite rain is the heavy rain. I like to hear it crashing to the ground. The air after a good rain is thick.

Although a heavy rain is my favorite, a soft rain is also pleasant. The smell of wet trees is awesome. Although both rains are nice, they both have there down sides.

Rain can come light or heavy, but either way it is fascinating.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Christian
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Although light and heavy rain are both enjoyable, I'd rather sit in a heavy downpour.
There are many differences between the sound and feeling of rain. Light rain is to soft for me, because it makes me feel like a bird getting ready to take off. Which is exactly why I like heart pounding rain that weighs me down. Also both rains sound about the same except for the occasional downpours from heavy rains that sound like a stampede of bulls!
There are many reasons I think a downpour is the best. After a downpour you can see a vibrant rainbow, and you can smell the old rain. Also before a down pour the sky turns into a funky “yellowish” color.
However downpours can make some boring things happen. The rain slows the day down almost to a complete stop. And the air gets all dark and gloomy.
I would much rather sit in a heavy, fierce, downpour,than a gentle rain.

Rain Drops

Payton


Rain Drops


Rain can come as a heavy downpour or a gentle sprinkling; however, I enjoy the sound of a loud pouring rain.

Light and heavy rain are different by the way they sound and the way they feel. A light shower makes little drops on your clothes whereas a heavy rain drenches them. The difference in so und startles me. During a heavy rain you hear a chhh and during a light rain you hear a pitter-patter. A light rain gives you a better chance of not having a wet, sticky. muddy ground.

Although both are unpleasant, I love hard loud downpours when it rains. I feel it's enjoyable to hear the loud sound of the rain on the roof. The rainbows that come after the rain has stopped are very beautiful. I absolutely love driving in rain and seeing little drops of water on the window.

I feel a light drizzling rain is not near as exciting as a heavy storm. I dislike the hot misty air that comes after a rainfall. Another thing that drives me crazy is the soft dripping of the light rain that keeps me awake at night.

Although both rains are depressing and sad usually, the loud sound of the heavy rain is soothing.

Rain can come as a heavy downpour or a gentle sprinkle, yet I enjoy a gentle drizzle more.

Even though there are many similarities between light and heavy rain, I would like to say some differences. To me heavy rain sounds like a giant that just had a cow stomping around so hard he could break the ground. Unlike heavy rain, to me light rain sounds like a pencil tapping to the rhythm of a song. Another difference is how when a heavy rain ends all the worms come out, and after a light rain there are a couple of puddles here and there.

My favorite rain is the gentle sprinkle. I love how when the soft cold rain hits your back you get a little chill down your spine. To me the best part of a gentle shower is how it can sooth you to sleep. I enjoy how after a light shower it smells fresh and clean.

My least favorite type of rain is the heart pounding thunderstorms. When the rain hits you, you get a splintering piercing feeling that burns your skin. I dislike how a hard downpour can wake you up at night by the lightning. The worst part of a heavy rain is the smell of worms everywhere you go.

Even though I like a gentle sprinkle, a heavy rain is good once in a blue moon.

The Rain

Katelin


The Rain

Although light and heavy rain feel and sound different, I would much rather sit threw a soft,

sprinkling rain.

Light and heavy rain feel and sound different. Heavy rain feels like someone dumped a whole bucket full of water on your head. Light rain feels like someone playfully splashing you. Heavy

rain is loud and has a lot of crashing and pounding noises; however, light rain is quiet and relaxing like it's playing its own song.

My favorite type of rain is a light pitter-patter. I like it because you can kick back and relax, while the rain plays its own little tune. Afterward it leaves the world smelling clean and fresh,

just like the world just had its very own little shower.

The rain that I least enjoy is heavy rain. I don't like it because it's loud and makes crashing noises on my roof. It comes down as if someone left the water running in the bathroom.

Light and heavy rain have many things in common; however, their sound and touch feel very different.

Although heavy and light rain sound and feel different, I would much rather enjoy the pouring rain.

Rain can have many similarities; however, rain can have many differences. One difference is how pouring rain sounds like a hammer nailing something, but light rain is just a very soft splash. How the two rains feel is different, too. Pouring rain is a hard imposing drop on your skin, but light sprinkling rain is a silent noise and then a drop.

In addition, my most favorite rain, as you may know, is the hard, imposing, downpour rain. During this rain I love to run outside and jump on my trampoline. I also love to read on our porch swing in the afternoon, and crack my window at night when it is raining. One last thing I love is when you drive under a bridge and the rain stops and the starts.

My least favorite rain is the gentle sprinkling rain. One thing I hate is when it is sprinkling outside, and how the air is humid because of the rain. Another reason is because when you go outside, you feel like you are sweating with the rain on your skin.

Even though, heavy and light rain are somewhat different my favorite rain is the hard imposing rain.

Rain!

Although light and heavy rain are both unpleasant, I would much rather sit through soft sprinkling rain. I wouldn't like to sit in heavy rain, because heavy rain feels like a wrestler beating on me in a match!


How are light and heavy rain different? Light rain is soft,sweet,and innocent, like a baby bunny. However, it can be very cold and makes the air humid. Heavy rain on the other hand, is mean, dark, and crude.


Which rain do you enjoy the most? I enjoy light the most. I enjoy light rain because it's much more pleasant . Light rain reminds me of cold, delicate silk.


Which rain do you least enjoy? I least enjoy heavy rain. I least enjoy heavy rain because it's very unpleasant and makes a lot of things scared. Heavy rain makes me think of sitting at home having to watch boring movies with my mom!


As you can see in the paragraph above, I much rather sit in light , silky rain. I prefer sitting in soft innocent rain, because it's much less harsh and cold!

Light & Heavy Rain

Light & Heavy Rain

Cameron #4



Rain can come as a heavy downpour or a gentle sprinkling, I enjoy the sound of a loud pouring rain.

There are some differences between light and heavy rain. Light rain sounds like small footsteps, and heavy rain sounds like drums. In light rain your hair sticks up. In heavy rain it pretty much drenches you. Those are some differences between light and heavy rain.

There's certain rain that I enjoy a lot. That is heavy rain. Heavy rain makes you very wet, and i love being wet. That's what kind of rain I like.

A type of rain I don't like is light rain. You can't listen to the cool sound that rain makes. That's the kind of rain I don't like.

There are lots of kinds of rain that I do and don't like.

Rain

Rain can come as a heavy downpour or a light sprinkle, I enjoy the sound of a loud pouring downpour of rain.

Heavy rain has two different sounds and textures. Heavy rain pounds against the window, as light rain feel lightweight, gentle and soft. Heavy rain feels like someone pouring a big bucket of water onto you. Light rain feels like as if you were just in a shower with no pressure.

I enjoy heavy rain more than light rain, because of its delightful sound. The harsh rain hammering against my small window makes me all jittery. It starts as a slight drizzle into a dramatic storm!

Light rain on the other hand just sprinkles against the grass. It gently scatters against the green grass, leaving dew to rest until dawn. When I go outside I love to get soaked, whereas in light rain i barely even get wet.

Rain can come as a heavy downpour, or a sleek sprinkling, I enjoy the sound of a loud pouring rain, these are my reasons to why I like the heavy rain.

Although light and heavy rain feel and sound different, I would rather watch a heavy a heavy downpour.

Light and heavy rain are very different. Light rain is quiet and makes a gentle sound. Heavy rain is loud and crazy with big puddles. Also during heavy rainfalls it usually floods.

Overall, I think heavy rain is totally awesome. There is so much you can do with downpours. You can watch the droplets fall from the sky and pound to the ground. Also you could ride your four wheeler through the deep puddles after the rain stops. Or if you find the sound of rain hitting the roof relaxing, and soothing, you could go to sleep with it.

On the other hand I don't really enjoy the light rain. First of all, it makes you wet with nothing in return. It is way to sneaky and sly because it just comes out of nowhere. Also I hate how it's so soft that you can't even feel it hit your skin.

In the end I would say these types of rain are quite different, but i just can't get over how much fun heavy rain is. Some days you just got to have some fun with it.

Rain Essay

Rain Essay


Although light and heavy rain fell and sound different, I would much rather be in a heavy pounding downpour.

Light and heavy rain are very different. First, heavy rain is loud while soft rain is quiet. Next, heavy rain hurts, and soft rain tickles. Also heavy rain is normally part of a thunderstorm, but soft rain isn't.

My favorite type of rain is a hard, pounding downpour. If it's in a thunderstorm, I like to count in between the lightning and thunder to tell how far away the storm is. It's also cool to watch the dark rainclouds roll in. When it's done raining, I like to look for rainbows.

My least favorite type of rain is a soft sprinkling mist. I hate it when my hair sticks up because it's so humid! It's also so boring. Even when it's over your still stuck inside since it's muddy.

Those are some differences between light and heavy rain, and why I like a heavy, pounding downpour better than a light soft sprinkle.

Pouring Rain Comes Everyday

Sophie

Pouring Rain Come Everyday

Rain can come as a heavy downpour or a gentle sprinkling, I enjoy the sound of a loud pouring rain.

The difference between light and heavy rain is that light rain is not near as enjoyable as heavy rain. I know this because whenever you watch a light rain it just goes off and on and it stops, then starts all up again a couple minutes after. Also if you put your hand out during a light rain it just falls very light and soft on your hand. Heavy is the complete opposite of light rain, heavy rain falls in big droplets and it splatters on the ground very loud and hard. The best thing about heavy rain is listening to the sound of it pouring on your rooftop in the middle of the springtime. If you put your hand out during a pouring rain it splatters on your hand and it gets you soaked.

The kind of rain I enjoy is the pouring rain because whenever it splatters on your rooftop it makes a pounding sound and it makes you fall asleep. The best thing to do during a pouring rain is to put your window up and lay in bed and listen to it dropping on you roof while your laying under the covers. The reason I like pouring rain is because it makes a comforting sound that makes you all sleepy. That's why I enjoy heavy rain so much.

The kind of rain I enjoy the least is light rain because it goes off and on and it stops and starts up again and it is just really boring. I also don't like it because it is soft and its not loud and as enjoyable as heavy rain. That's why I don't like light rain at all.

Even though all kinds of rain are enjoyable and fun, I like to listen to the sound of a loud pouring rain under the covers out of school.

Myrlie's Questions

In chapter 22 Myrlie receives some mysterious items from Bethany's father. Tell us about these items and what you think they mean. Myrlie also mentions that she has some questions for Walter. What do you think she is going to ask him?

Thursday, March 6, 2008

I think that in double identity, Bethany's dad changed jobs and changed their last name because when the mom crashed, she did something that was against the law and would get her sent to jail. I think that the parents will be gone until after Bethany's 13th birthday because they're afraid that she might die in a car crash. They probably told Bethany's aunt not to be driving on her birthday.
I can't wait till we read it again
:)
Paris Nichols
Wow!! I agree there are many things that we don't know about Double Identity that we don't know. I believe that the man in the newspaper is after them somehow. I believe that they changed their identity to be safe and had to leave Bethany there to keep her safe. I think that Bethany will start school there and maybe even start gymnastics. I also think that since knowing all this Bethany will keep a lot more things to herself. I think the man that called wants to know that Bethany is there, so that's why he's calling. Maybe him and Elizabeth had a quarrel and it never got resolved and he's going to take it out on Bethany. I think that Joss is very nice and that she will reveal some answers that Bethany has really wanted to know. I think that Bethany's dad will also stop calling her and that will make Bethany very worried. I would also like to know more about Bethany's mom, like "What's wrong with her?", "Why does she cry all the time?", "Why does she blame herself for the accident when it was a complete accident?" Finally I feel that Mrs. Roster should read to us during STAT!! Well, that all for now!


~*Bye!*~

Double Identity II

Oh my goodness!!! So many new questions have been raised in Double Identity. I'm dying to know what you think. Why did Bethany's dad change careers? Why does Bethany have a different last name than Elizabeth? Who is Dalton Van Dyne (the embezzler released from prison) and why is he important to our story? Who keeps calling the house and hanging up? How long are Bethany's parents going to be gone?? Wow, there certainly are a lot of things we don't know. Let me know if you have any answers, or if you have thought of any other questions we should be trying to answer!!!
