Provide an example of Alexander using weather to describe the intensity of Dad's emotion. (page 147-152 of the crossover)
On page 150 of "The Crossover," Alexander uses weather to describe the intensity of Dad's emotion. Here is the example:
"When we're on our way home, Mom's the rain, steady and calming, a misty drizzle of questions I answer with nods and shakes of my head. But Dad, his is the thunderstorm, the hurricane, the tornado with emotions that could form an avalanche."
In this passage, Alexander compares Mom's emotional state to rain, symbolizing a steady and calming presence. On the other hand, Dad's emotions are compared to a thunderstorm, hurricane, tornado, and avalanche, which describes the intensity and turmoil of his feelings.
