The opening chapter of the book Frindle focuses on introducing us to the main character Nick Allen, an imaginative boy who likes to brighten up his school by figuring out unique and unusual ideas, an example would be that in 3rd grade, he turned the classroom into a tropical island by making paper palm trees and having everyone wear beach clothes.
He concluded with a PANEGYRIC on modern chemistry.
Panegyric is defined as a public speech or text that praises someone or something. It is similar to eulogy but unlike eulogy, the recipient of the praise is not limited to a person. As is the case of the above sentence, the subject of the praise was modern chemistry. Because of modern chemistry, Frankenstein was given life.
Explanation:
The ocean covers about 70% of Earth’s surface. So, it’s not surprising that it plays a large part in Earth’s environment. As Earth warms, water in the ocean soaks up energy (heat) and distributes it more evenly across the planet. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere. The additional heat and carbon dioxide in the ocean can change the environment for the many plants and animals that live there. Earth’s climate is warming due to human activities. As Earth experiences a warming climate, we experience hotter air temperatures. The ocean does an excellent job of absorbing the extra heat from the atmosphere, delaying the full impact of global warming. The top few meters of the ocean store as much heat as Earth's entire atmosphere. So, as the planet warms, it's the ocean that gets most of the extra energy. More than 90% of the global warming is going into the ocean. But if the ocean gets too warm, then the plants and animals that live there can get sick or even die.
Have a great day! :D
