Answer:
Before there was Earth, there was silence. There was no moon or stars. There was no life. There was no sound. There was only one inter-dimensional energy, and she was called the creator. She pondered about what she could make of all the empty space.
Then, the creator spoke. She said, "You may begin," and the loudest collision to ever be erupted with light. Stars exploded and became smaller sprinkles of light that hung in the sky. The bigger shatters of fire and gas became suns, and the remnants of dust and gas came together to form planets that danced around the sun and comets that decorated our skies and sometimes taunted the planets. Many variations of these scattered across the expansion of the universe. The small portion of space we reside in today has been named the Milky Way, but we still refer to the entire outer world as space, in honor of what it was before.
Explanation:
This is an Ex Nihilo type of creation story that explains how our universe came to be. It is lightly based on the big bang theory and partially relies on the idea of some type of god to enforce this creation.

an essay about global warming
Answer:
Global warming is a phenomenon where the earth’s average temperature rises up due to increased amounts of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and ozone trap the incoming radiation from the sun. This effect creates a natural “blanket” which prevents the heat from escaping back into the atmosphere. This effect is called a greenhouse effect.
Contrary to popular belief, greenhouse gases are not inherently bad. In fact, the greenhouse effect is quite important for life on earth. Without this effect, the sun’s radiation would be reflected back into the atmosphere, freezing the surface and making life impossible. However, when greenhouse gasses in excess amounts get trapped, serious repercussions begin to appear. The polar ice caps begin to melt, leading to the rise in sea levels. Furthermore, the greenhouse effect is accelerated when polar ice caps and sea ice melts. This is due to the fact the ice reflects 50% to 70% of the sun’s rays back into space; but without ice, the solar radiation gets absorbed. Seawater reflects only 6% of the sun’s radiation back into space. What’s more frightening is the fact that the poles contain large amounts of carbon dioxide trapped within the ice. If this ice melts, it will significantly contribute to global warming.
A related scenario when this phenomenon goes out of control is the runaway-greenhouse effect. This scenario is essentially similar to an apocalypse, but it is all too real. Though this has never happened in the earth’s entire history, it is speculated to have occurred on Venus. Millions of years ago, Venus was thought to have an atmosphere similar to Earths’. But due to the runaway greenhouse effect, surface temperatures around the planet began rising.
If this occurs on earth, the runaway greenhouse effect will lead to many unpleasant scenarios – temperatures will rise hot enough for oceans to evaporate. Once the oceans evaporate, the rocks will start to sublimate under the heat. To prevent such a scenario, proper measures have to be taken to stop climate change.

How did Theodore Roosevelt give people hope?
Answer:
Roosevelt's Inaugural Address had begun the process of restoring hope, but not everyone caught the new mood right away. The press coverage that morning largely downplayed or ignored FDR's line: “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” The New York Times and most other newspapers relegated the line to their inside pages, while focusing instead on the vivid wartime allusions he employed five times during his speech — martial metaphors that suggested that there was, in fact, plenty to fear after all. The greatest applause from the large crowd on the east side of the Capitol came when Roosevelt said that if his rescue program was not quickly approved: “I shall ask Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis: broad executive power to wage war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.”
Explanation:
"I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly. "The poor helped the rich, and the rich helped the poor (if anybody could be called rich at such a time) to get on with their loads. I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load. Very likely it was so, but those cases did not come under my own notice. It did come under my notice that some cartmen worked for whatever the sufferers felt able to pay, and one I knew worked with alacrity for nothing. It takes all sorts of people to make a great fire."
What evidence in this excerpt supports the theme that ordinary people can act heroically in difficult times?
A. Some cartmen tried to overcharge people who needed help.
B. People hurried away from the fire in large, chaotic groups.
C. Many people were unable to carry their belongings on their own.
D. Some cartmen helped others haul their belongs for little to no pay.

what the two roads symbolise in the poem "The Road Not Taken"
Answer and Explanation:
In Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," the speaker finds himself facing a fork on the road where he is traveling. One road has now become two, and he is forced to choose one of them if he wishes to continue his journey.
The two roads symbolize the choices we have to make in life. Just like the speaker of the poem, if we wish to move forward, we must make decisions throughout the way. Upon choosing one road, upon making a choice, we are, most of the time, giving up on the other for good. In the poem, the speaker chooses the road less traveled by. That means he wishes to be different, to do what others are not doing, to go where they did not choose to go.
Answer:
The two roads simbolizes what desicions we need to take in our Life. When the road splits into two, the poet is required to make a decision with little knowledge of what lay ahead.
