Answer:

Chris is discovering just how hard it is to live in the Alaskan wilderness. Any romantic precepts of living in a cozy cabin like Thoreau are quickly dispelled. Chris knows he is either going to survive or die. His thoughts become a precious glimpse into Chris headspace as his world becomes less about ideology and more about survival. Chris also discovers what most readers knew from the beginning: Chris needs the company of other people. He begins to see the folly of rejecting his family, especially his sister Carine. Chris becomes a dynamic character a little too late. Krakauer included these sections to get us closer to Chris than we had ever been before. Much of the book is seen through Krakauer's lens of Chris. In these chapters we get a glimpse into Chris from his own words.

Think about the Dred Scott ruling, the debate over slavery that led up to it, and the upcoming presidential election of 1860.
REY [17]

Answer:

The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case could effect the presidential campaign of 1860 because candidates would have to know address whether or not slavery would be allowed in Northern states. Since this case stated that slaves are property and can be brought into free territories, this greatly effects the Northern states who already outlawed slavery. Based on the Supreme Court ruling, the states would have to abide by this law. Now, presidential candidates must answer the question of whether or not they will allow slavery to exist in all states in the US.

REFLECT! John Green stated that it might have been better if the Persians beat the Greeks. Do you agree with him? Why or why not
Trava [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I do not agree with what John Green said.

John Green stated that it might have been better if the Persians beat the Greeks. His arguments were that the Persian life was not bad. Persians ruled prosperous cities. And he comments that life was not easy in ancient Greece if you were a woman or a slave.

Of course, Greece was not perfect and had many issues. But the Persia Empire also had its many issues too.

I think it was good that Greece won the Persian Wars. The Greek victory established a foundation of a classical time in which Greece "exported" the idea of democracy to other states, as well as the philosophical ideas of great thinkers of Athens. Arts, literature, sculpture, and architecture were other important Greek influences that transcended the test of time.

The half-life of polonium-218 is 3 min. if you start with 16 mg, how long will it be before only 1.0 mg remains?
babymother [125]
The decay equation is of the form
m(t) = m_{0} e^{-kt}
where
m(t) = the mass remaining after t minutes
m₀ =  the initial mass
k = constant

Because the half-life is 3 minutes, therefore
e^{-3k} = \frac{1}{2}
Therefore
-3k = ln(0.5)
k = ln(0.5)/(-3) = 0.231

Because m₀ = 16 mg, the time, t, for the mass to decay to 1.0 mg is given by
e^{-0.231t} =  \frac{0.1}{16} =0.00625 \\\\&#10;-0.231t = ln(0.00625) \\\\ t =  \frac{ln(0.00625)}{-0.231} =21.97 \, min

Answer: 22 min (nearest integer)
