What part of the central nervous system controls sleep and appetite?

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: For every 10˚ slope, the fire will double its speed. For example, if a fire is travelling at 5 km per hour along flat ground and it hits a 10˚ slope it will double in speed to 10 km per hour up the hill.

By increasing in speed the fire also increases in intensity, becoming even hotter.

The opposite applies to a fire travelling downhill. The flames reach less fuel, and less radiant heat pre-heats the fuel in front of the fire. For every 10˚ of downhill slope, the fire will halve its speed.

Fires tend to move more slowly as the slope decreases.

Vegetation (fuel)

Grass can burn early and quickly on hot, dry, windy days.

Branches, twigs and leaves dropped from shrubs and trees become fine fuels, which burn easily. These can give off far more heat when they burn

Fibrous and dry tree bark can carry fire to treetops. The fire can then break away and spread further

Dry branches, twigs and leaves and other fine fuels found on the ground can also burn easily.

Weather conditions

Bushfires are unpredictable and vary greatly according to weather conditions. They often start on hot, dry, windy days.

Temperature

A string of hot days dries out vegetation, making it easier to burn. This can be made even worse by underlying dry conditions caused by lack of rain.

The drier the vegetation the easier it will burn.

A fire spreads as a result of burning embers, radiant heat and direct flame contact.

Wind

Wind influences the:

speed at which a fire spreads

direction in which a fire travels and the size of the fire front

intensity of a fire – wind provides more oxygen

likelihood of spotting – burning pieces of leaves, twigs and bark (embers) that the wind carries ahead of the fire. These cause new 'spot fires' to ignite.

Wind change

A change in wind direction is one of the most dangerous influences on fire behavior. Many people who die in bushfires get caught during or after a wind change.

In Victoria, hot, dry winds typically come from the north and northwest and are often followed by a southwest wind change. In this situation the side of the fire can quickly become a much larger fire front.

How does Johnny represent the qualities of integrity and answer at least one of those questions

Alexandra [31]

The author suggests in these chapters that male-female relationships

between the Greasers and Socs are more peaceful and respectful than

male-male relationships. The encounters between Johnny, Ponyboy,

Marcia, and Cherry show that relationships between Greasers and Socs

are positive, even though they are from different groups. Although Dally

has a negative encounter with the girls, Johnny protects them because

of their gender. He most likely would not have done this if the conflict

were with another male. The male greasers and male Socs encounters

consistently result in violence. This difference shows that the gang

rivalry is one that is masculine in nature. It is also worth noting;

however, that internal group bonding in also strongly masculine. The

Greasers are all male, and they are protective and supportive of one

another.

12. What is Ponyboy comparing Two-Bit to when he calls him a “chessy

cat” on page 27? What two literary devices are used here?

Chessy Cat refers to a "Cheshire Cat, a proverbial grinning cat from

Cheshire, in England as described in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures

in Wonderland”. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy was trying to describe that

Two-Bit Matthews was smiling broadly, much like that of the Cheshire

Cat. This is an example of a simile (comparing two unlike things using

like or as), as well as allusion (to make a passing reference to something

outside the text).

13. What literary device does the author use to describe Johnny’s

mugging (pgs.31-34)?

The literary device used is flashback. This is a literary or cinematic

device in which an earlier event is inserted into the normal chronological
