Firestorm

On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City caught fire. The factory was located on the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors of a building, and later investigations revealed that the factory owners had locked the doors to the stairwells and exits to discourage workers from taking unauthorized breaks and to prevent theft. The fire was one of the deadliest industrial disasters in history--146 workers died from the burns, smoke inhalation, or falling or jumping to their deaths. Most of the victims were young women who had recently immigrated to the United States.

Hero(ine)

Captain John Smith was one of the leaders of Jamestown, the first English settlement in North American. He had many encounters with Native Americans--some were friendly exchanges, and some involved violence. However, his most famous encounter--the one involving Pocahontas, the Powhatan chief's daughter, may not have actually happened. Smith made no mention of the meeting in his original diaries but described the event many years later when he wrote and published his experiences in a travel book meant to get Englishmen interested in moving to America.

The movie The Wonderful Wizard of Oz includes some of the most recognizable characters in Hollywood history, including Dorothy, Toto, and the Wicked Witch of the West. The story began as a children's novel, which was written by L. Frank Baum and published in 1900. By 1902 the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was a Broadway musical, and in 1939, the iconic film was released. You may have read an excerpt from the beginning of the novel earlier in this course.

Well Read

Frederick Douglass was a famous abolitionist and speaker who started life as a slave in Maryland. Before escaping North, he taught himself to read, with the help of some local, very poor white children. He then proceeded to share his knowledge with fellow slaves of all ages. Douglass did all of this during a time when teaching a slave to read was illegal. In fact, it was something that slave owners tried hard to prevent--they knew that reading would spark the imaginations of slaves, and give them knowledge and ideas that might help them escape or inspire them to stage a revolt.

Answer:At approximately 4:40 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, 1911, as the workday was ending, a fire flared up in a scrap bin under one of the cutter's tables at the northeast corner of the 8th floor.[13] The first fire alarm was sent at 4:45 p.m. by a passerby on Washington Place who saw smoke coming from the 8th floor.[14] Both owners of the factory were in attendance and had invited their children to the factory on that afternoon.[15] The Fire Marshal concluded that the likely cause of the fire was the disposal of an unextinguished match or cigarette butt in the scrap bin, which held two months' worth of accumulated cuttings by the time of the fire.[16] Beneath the table in the wooden bin were hundreds of pounds of scraps left over from the several thousand shirtwaists that had been cut at that table. The scraps piled up from the last time the bin was emptied, coupled with the hanging fabrics that surrounded it; the steel trim was the only thing that was not highly flammable.[13] Although smoking was banned in the factory, cutters were known to sneak cigarettes, exhaling the smoke through their lapels to avoid detection.[17] A New York Times article suggested that the fire may have been started by the engines running the sewing machines. A series of articles in Collier's noted a pattern of arson among certain sectors of the garment industry whenever their particular product fell out of fashion or had excess inventory in order to collect insurance. The Insurance Monitor, a leading industry journal, observed that shirtwaists had recently fallen out of fashion, and that insurance for manufacturers of them was "fairly saturated with moral hazard." Although Blanck and Harris were known for having had four previous suspicious fires at their companies, arson was not suspected in this case.[15]The building's south side, with windows marked X from which 50 women jumped62 people jumped or fell from windowsA bookkeeper on the 8th floor was able to warn employees on the 10th floor via telephone, but there was no audible alarm and no way to contact staff on the 9th floor.[18] According to survivor Yetta Lubitz, the first warning of the fire on the 9th floor arrived at the same time as the fire itself.[19] Although the floor had a number of exits, including two freight elevators, a fire escape, and stairways down to Greene Street and Washington Place, flames prevented workers from descending the Greene Street stairway, and the door to the Washington Place stairway was locked to prevent theft by the workers; the locked doors allowed managers to check the women's purses.[20] The foreman who held the stairway door key had already escaped by another route.[21] Dozens of employees escaped the fire by going up the Greene Street stairway to the roof. Other survivors were able to jam themselves into the elevators while they continued to operate.[22]Within three minutes, the Greene Street stairway became unusable in both directions.[23] Terrified employees crowded onto the single exterior fire escape – which city officials had allowed Asch to erect instead of the required third staircase[13] – a flimsy and poorly anchored iron structure that may have been broken before the fire. It soon twisted and collapsed from the heat and overload, spilling about 20 victims nearly 100 feet (30 m) to their deaths on the concrete pavement below. The remainder waited until smoke and fire overcame them.The fire department arrived quickly but was unable to stop the flames, as their ladders were only long enough to reach as high as the 7th floor.[1] The fallen bodies and falling victims also made it difficult for the fire department to approach the building.Elevator operators Joseph Zito[24] and Gaspar Mortillaro saved many lives by traveling three times up to the 9th floor for passengers, but Mortillaro was eventually forced to give up when the rails of his elevator buckled under the heat. Some victims pried the elevator doors open and jumped into the empty shaft, trying to slide down the cables or to land on top of the car. The weight and impacts of these bodies warped the elevator car and made it impossible for Zito to make another attempt. William Gunn Shepard, a reporter at the tragedy, would say that "I learned a new sound that day, a sound more horrible than description can picture – the thud of a speeding living body on a stone sidewalk".[25]A large crowd of bystanders gathered on the street, witnessing 62 people jumping or falling to their deaths from the burning building.[26] Louis Waldman, later a New York Socialist state assemblyman, described the scene years later:[27]One Saturday afternoon in March of that year—March 25, to be precise—I was sitting at one of the reading tables in the old Astor Library. … It was a raw, unpleasant day and the comfortable reading room seemed a delightful place to spend the remaining few hours until the library closed.

Explanation:

What is the main problem with this conclusion paregraph? Thesis statement: Fun activities should not be classified as "for boys" or "for girls."
Main points
• Classifying activities according to gender keeps kids from trying new activities
• Labeling activities by gender makes some kids feel bad about the activities they enjoy
• All kids should be supported in their talents and interests.
Conclusion: In conclusion classifying activities as "for boys' or "for girls" is unfair and bad for our society. If we want kids to try new activities and feel good about the activities they choose, we have to do away with the labels Family and friends should support boys and girls in whatever interests them. In the same way, it's also not fair to say that certain colors or clothing items are "for boys' or "for girls." When we stop labeling activities, we'll uncover many hidden talents in both boys and girls. A It does not restate the thesis B. It does not have a satisfying close OC. It adds ney information. D. it is missing one of the main points.​

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name

Ok so can yall help me review my paragraph b4 I submit it?
The question to this is: Explain how natural resources are identified and why natural resources are unevenly distributed. Be sure to use information from the reading to support your answer. (pls don't copy mine if yall have this too, i don't wanna have to redo it :(

--->Natural resources are identified in mainly one way. According to the article, satellites and machines are used to identify. Satellites can scan the Earth's surface to detect natural resources. The colors shown on the results of the scan represent the types of rocks in the area. For example, yellow-like, orange, and green colors represent limestone, sandstone, and gypsum, respectively. Satellites can also locate vegetation. The displayed shade of red helps scientists identify the trees and plants because each type of plant has its own “brightness” or “darkness". Natural resources are often unevenly distributed. But, this is not humans' fault. Some resources require certain living and temperature conditions. For example, the amount of copper ore produced depends on the amount of volcanic activity. Sometimes, in certain areas of the world, there is more salty water than fresh. This occurs because freshwater travels over many surfaces before it even gets to the ocean. Hence, you may now understand the reason how natural resources are identified, and why natural resources are unevenly distributed.

Passage:

From Guiseppi Verdi by Thomas Trapper
Whenever the organ man came into the village of Roncole, in Italy (where Verdi was born, October 10, 1813), Verdi could not be kept indoors. But he followed the wonderful organ and the wonderful man who played it, all day long, as happy as he could be.

When Giuseppe was seven years old his father, though only a poor innkeeper, bought him a spinet, a sort of small piano. So faithfully did the little boy practice that the spinet was soon quite worn out and new jacks, or hammers, had to be made for it. This was done by Stephen Cavaletti, who wrote a message on one of the jacks telling that he made them anew and covered them with leather, and fixed the pedal, doing all for nothing, because the little boy, Giuseppe Verdi, showed such willingness to practice and to learn. Thus the good Stephen thought this was pay enough.

Complete this analogy.Then describe the type of relationship between the words in each pair.

Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle’s bookstore in Northview, where he worked. He didn’t mind the commute because he loved his job. He loved spending time with his uncle, but he also loved going to work because he had become friends with Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk about everything from baseball scores to movies to favorite pizza toppings.

So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.

“Hey, Pat,” Andrew said casually.

“Hey,” said Patrick. “Did you have a good week?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Great week. My basketball team made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight. We’re playing Emoryville, our nemesis.”

Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew continued. “I don’t like Emoryville. I don’t think I could ever be friends with someone from that town. Our schools are such rivals.”

Patrick was speechless.

“Where are you from, Pat? I can’t believe I’ve never asked you that before!”

Patrick fumbled over his words. “Not too far from here,” he said before he quickly changed the subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.
