Read this excerpt from “The Final Assault” by Sir Edmund Hillary. With the debris we chopped out of the slope we tried to build

up the platform on the downhill side, but almost invariably saw it collapse and go roaring down over the bluffs below.

In the article, Chicago is described as being “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” with other cities moving quickly to
Lelechka [254]

Hi. Unfortunately I was unable to access the article this question refers to. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

We can see that the view that Chicago is “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” is refuted, with the phrase showing that Germany has a much larger amount of green roofs than Chicago. This shows that Chicago does not deserve the title of "forefront" in the use of these roofs, as there are places, such as Germany, that have taken the lead in this attitude.

Unfortunately, without reading the article it is not possible to know how it affects the general tone and mood of the article. However, considering that this is an informative article, we can consider that this rebuttal, presents the feeling that green roofs are something that is being established very slowly in America, even though this is a very beneficial attitude for society. Furthermore, this rebuttal may present a delayed mood, as it shows that America is late in implementing this technology. This can be seen because the tone and mood of a text establish the sensation and feeling that the author of the article wants to promote through reading.

PLEASE ANSWER ;( also this is for ELA I need help. And it’s about “The Giver” book
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The community is safer because no one will become heartbroken and act out. People tend to act out of anger or sadness when they are hurt meaning this could cause violent problems or problems in general. So it is better that no one feels anything at all. Love does add happiness to our lives because if you need support after going through something rough or you just need to heal love always helps. Love can help the hurt and broken it always helps to have a loving relationship with someone. Love can cause sadness especially when you and someone you love breaks up or something terrible happens to them. Love can certainly hurt but it will heal eventually with others caring and support. -Your friend, Bill Cipher

Explanation: P.S. Enjoy the book it is really good :)
