| Summary: | This study explored the use of similes and personifications to describe "rain" and "wind" in
American and Vietnamese literature from the mid-20th century to the present. Through a
combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study categorized and analyzed 285
examples of similes and personifications denoting “rain” and “wind” in American and
Vietnamese novels to identify similarities and differences in the portrayal of these natural
phenomena. The findings showed that the American and Vietnamese novel writers utilized
similes and personifications to convey the sounds, intensity, impact on human, human emotion
and actions in terms of wind and rain. The author tried to explain the differences in using these
two stylistic devices in the two languages based on cultural and climatic perspectives. The study
offered practical suggestions for those who are interested in fostering both language skills and
environmental consciousness through literary study |
