Try to explain the time the time and place as if you were explaining them to someone who had no read the story.           

            The short story “The Storm” takes place around the late 1800. The main setting of the story takes place at Calixta’s house. For use of French between the characters and the weather conditions that takes place during the story, we can conclude that it might be late 1800 and that it might be located northern, east coast of the United States. During the story a strong and quick rain appears. During the story there are clues that reveals that the storm happen late afternoon, also due to the fact that some of the characters show up home when dinner was being prepare lets us know that it is already pass noon time.  Calixta’s house is a typical house located on the out skirt of town, with a big front porch and tall trees around the house. Inside the house there are a couple rooms, the family room, a gallery or living room, bedrooms, and kitchen.

 Far into the horizons a storm is coming, dark clouds approach and  the sound of the thunders alert the coming of the rain. 

  

 During the beginning of the story, Bibi and Bobinot took shelter from the rain at a store near by the house.

Calixta's house was a small house. she had a nice porch where her chickens took cover when the rain started. M'sieur Alcee also took cover for a moment before he was invited to come in. 

Calixta invited M'sieur Alcee to come in into the living room to wait until the storm ends.

M'sieur Alcee had a quick look of Calixta and Bobinot's room.

As the storm passes Calixta and M'sieur Alcee talkde about their past.

when the storm was ended M'sieur Alcee left, the sun shine it over the dripping leaves, and the sense of tranquility ones again arrived.
