A lot of stories start with "It was a dark and stormy night" it should not be the main part to be focused on. Most want to focus on the settings laying out a foundation of the characters surrounding ,but authors want their readers to look closer and the weather. Water is everywhere it surrounds the earth , it always is trying to reclaim the people of earth through floods, hurricanes, and typhoons. They are all trying to drag us back to the beginning. For example the humans took comfort in the ark because the rainbow meant god would not wipe us out completely. Foster knows that the deepest fear of land creatures is drowning . Yet, floods destroy so all can start anew. Rain symbolizes cleansing , a person walks through the rain he or she is cleansing himself of all his sins or his past darkness, but if he falls down in the mud he is stained even more. Rain is restorative like spring which brings the world back to life with new growth around the world. Even rain with a mix with the sun functions as a symbol of divine power , peace between heaven and earth. Simple weather conditions can draw a new outlook on a story.
