Based on the 1925 serum run to Nome
Describe what made the terrain around Nome perilous? How did this contribute to the heroism of the dog teams?
Answer:
Located in the Alaskan tundra, the route to Nome crossed a 5000-foot mountain peak and the unstable ice of Norton Sound, ill-famed for breaking under pressure. Furthermore, the sea was frozen for seven months during the winter, meaning that dog sleds were the only way of transportation at the time. In addition to that, the “Great Race of Mercy” happened in the middle of a great storm.
Explanation:
All of these elements made the five days journey to get the serum required to save Nome (which should have taken a month) that much more heroic.
- Toilettres (toothbrush; toothpaste; hairbrush' deodorant; feminine products (if needed))
- Outfits corresponding to the number of days you will be gone
- Pajamas corresponding to the number of nights you will be gone
- A pair of slip on shoes
- A pair of closed toed shoes
- Pairs of socks corresponding to the number of days you will be gone
- Pairs of underwear (+bras if needed [bras can be used three times in a row before they must be washed, so one bra for 3 days]) corresponding to the days you will be gone
- Additional personal artifacts
While Odysseus battles and his journey are successful due to his intellect, Penelope similarly uses her intelligence to avoid being remarried, even if she does so in a less conspicuous way. Penelope never remarries, and always waits for him.
