Answer:
1. The Mongols could not extend their empire into northern Africa. - The Mamluks defeated the Mongols.
The Mamluks were a class of slave soldiers who proliferated in the Arab World during the Middle Ages, especially in Egypt. Mamluks from Egypt and the Levant defeated the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut, in Galilee, modern day Israel.
2. The Islamic culture of the captured states influenced the Mongol rulers to convert to Islam. - By 1256, the Mongols established the Ilkhanate, which was made up of mostly Islamic states.
The regions that made up the Ilkhanate are most of Anatolia (modern day Turkey), Persia (modern day Iran), most of the Caucausus, Northern Iraq, and Southwestern Afghanistan and Pakistan. The vast majority of people in these areas have been muslims since the arab expansion of the Early Middle Ages.
3. Russia lagged behind western Europe in development. - The Mongols failed to improve conditions in the Golden Horde Khanate.
The Golden Horde Khanate comprised a territory that stretches from modern day Kazakhstan to Ukraine. This area remained poor during the Mongol rule.
True, the first British strategy during the revolutionary war was to use overwhelming force, training superiority, and better technology to defeat the ill-prepared Colonists

The theme of the story is about conquering your fears. Martin is afraid of the elevator for various reasons. He was afraid that he would get stuck in it or maybe it would fall. So he attempted to take the stairs, but his father said he was a coward and weak. If he took the stairs he would get hurt. Knowing he gets bullied at school. He wanted to prove he was strong. He forced himself to take the elevator. But then a fat woman got on with him. This drove his fear and anxiety of the elevator even more. "Maybe the elevator was having trouble because of how heavy he was; What if we got stuck between floors? What if it fell?" (Sleator Paragraph 19). He almost got off but he couldn't reach the buttons. We watched as he tried very hard to conquer his fear. He ended up somehow getting off eventually as the woman somehow always managed to catch him on the elevator. But as he took the stairs he hurt his legs and got crutches. Forcing him to take the elevator. But of course, there she was. The main idea was conquering your fears for yourself and not others.
For the second paragraph, it's more personal, and I don't know your life. But as a general theme of everyone. You can say:
I relate to this story because when I was young I had a huge fear of ____. My parents/guardian helped me to overcome it by ____. Or I had a fear of ____ and because I got bullied by it, I ______. We all have a fear of something. And it's important to overcome it so that you don't miss out on life. And you can be prepared for anything. As people, we can do anything. One of the hardest feats is to overcome fear. Overcome fear, overcome the hardships of life.
Hope this helps.
