y was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five. On being asked his opinion, he said: “Capital punishment and life-imprisonment are equally immoral; but if I were offered the choice between them, I would certainly choose the second. It’s better to live somehow than not to live at all.” There ensued a lively discussion. The banker who was then younger and more nervous suddenly lost his temper, banged his fist on the table, and turning to the young lawyer, cried out: “It’s a lie. I bet you two millions you wouldn’t stick in a cell even for five years.” Which type of conflict occurs in the excerpt above? rowdy internal external ironic

Letter Idea That I Made for an Automatic Irrigation System, via Arduino:

Dear (<u>The Person The Letter Is For</u>),

I have noticed that many of my plants die due to neglect. People (including me) don't water their plants. This problem effected me and most-likely lots of others very much because we have put in lots of my time and money into making a garden, just for it to fail. In fact, the Ancient Civilization of Egypt collapsed because the Egyptians were not able to properly maintain water levels in plants, leading the plants to wilt, a lack in water because of wasting the water on the plant, the Egyptians to die of dehydration, and  the fall of Ancient Egypt. So I made an Arduino-based automatic irrigation system to help other like me and obviously myself maintain a healthy garden. This device will water my plants whenever they are dehydrated, and it will water in correct amounts, due to the soil moisture sensor in the setup. This solution worked, and I feel happy because the solution worked, it was very inexpensive, and it was super easy to make.

Sincerely,

<u>(You)</u>
