Explanation:

It was a cold night the wind bellowed more snow fell laying itself on this white blanket . The blanket of snow reached out for miles just an empty space filled with silence an crisp cold air.

You look around lost trying to find a way out or someone to guide you but there is no one you are all alone, or so you thought. As you are walking trying to find a hut or village to stay in you spot something shiny in the distance it sparkles and glistens in the orange light of the setting sun. You walk closer to it trying to get a better look but you are so eager you start shouting " HELLO!" nobody replies so you continue to shout, "HELLO , is anybody there !" still no reply.

Eventually you get close enough to see what's going on you look close and cant believe your eyes it cant be real. You walk a little closer not believing it trying to pinch yourself to wake up. But no there it was a giant snow globe but inside was a trapped baby polar bear. You felt helpless you got close to it and  couldn't think what to do so you touched the glass it was cold freezing almost , you looked the bear in the eyes and it slowly brought its nose up to the glass, but something strange happened once your hand and his nose were touching the glass a spark formed you heard a loud noise in the distance behind you. Turning to see what it was you scream...

Answer:

1.) The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.

2.) Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

3.) At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, one of the plates (oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle) is pushed, or subducted, under the other (Figure 4.6. 1). Often it is the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and warmer plate.

4.) When oceanic crust converges with continental crust, the denser oceanic plate plunges beneath the continental plate. This process, called subduction, occurs at the oceanic trenches. The entire region is known as a subduction zone. Subduction zones have a lot of intense earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

5.) When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary. The Appalachian Mountains resulted from ancient convergence when Pangaea came together.

6.)Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

7.) The oceanic lithosphere is formed at an oceanic ridge, while the lithosphere is subducted back into the asthenosphere at ocean trenches. ... A process previously proposed to contribute to plate motion and the formation of new oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is the "mantle conveyor" due to deep convection

in what way does john's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist ?

Answers

Answer:

John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadows his quality of being a civil rights activist.

Explanation:

"Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis" is a book written by Jabari Asim, portraying the life of young John Lewis.

After John Lewis began to take care of the chickens on his farm, he took it as an opportunity to hone his preaching. He began to consider the chickens on farm as his congregation. When his parents would take chickens to kill and cook them, he would refuse to eat chicken and would not talk to his parents. He asserts that this form of showing disapproval marked a beginning in his life as a non-violent protesters. So, in this way, John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist. He, at an early age, began to defend those who were not able to speak for themselves.

Gettysburg Address

by Abraham Lincoln (excerpt)

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war. . . testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated . . . can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate . . . we cannot consecrate . . . we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us . . . that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion . . . that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain . . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom . . . and that government of the people . . . by the people . . . for the people . . . shall not perish from this earth.

Answer:

we cannot dedicate... we cannot consercrate... we cannot hallow this ground

of the people... by the people... for the people

Explanation:

Answer:

any nation so conceived and so dedicated

we cannot dedicate . . . we cannot consecrate . . . we cannot hallow this ground

of the people . . . by the people . . . for the people

Explanation:

In the first example, Lincoln modifies the word nation with the adjectival phrases "so conceived" and "so dedicated." The adjectival phrases have the same form.

In the second example, he repeats the phrase “we cannot” followed by different verbs to give an added element of parallelism.

In the third example, he repeats “the people” to emphasize the government represents everyone after the war.
