THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.
Which does the author mean by "... nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark"?
Humans were unable to make fire.
Nature was unable to make fire.
Humans were not very intelligent.
Humans did not try to make fire.

Explanation:

Answer:

Examine Loewen's explanation of wealth vs income. Why do the poor struggle more?
Answer:
As per Loewen's explanation, Income refers to the quantity of income received on a continuous basis whereas wealth refers to the period of time an individual (or household) could sustain their existing way of living without getting further pay for more work.

ESSAY ON MY CRAZIEST EXPERIENCE IN SHOPING MALL
[tex] \huge\fbox\pink{A}\fbox\blue{n}\fbox\purple{s}\fbox\green{w}\fbox\red{e}\fbox\orange{r}[/tex]
My craziest experience in a shopping mall when I was about five 7 years old and my mom took me to mall. First my mom told me to stay in that little play house area and she went for shopping. And I did. After a while I started to get bored and went out of the area i remembered that i went into a toy store. Over there a guy asked me did you have your mommy and i just stood there and walked in and started throwing toys on to the ground and he came and said, "Go get your mom and then come here." So i went out of the store and tried to find my way back all the way to the play area but i couldn't. Eventually I did and my mom wasn't there and i started to cry and then these people came and asked me are you lost and i said yes. And they asked me for my mother's name. They said her name twice and after five minutes she came. I never got lost again.

Answer:
My craziest experience at a shopping mall. Hmmm… well I have been to the mall a lot. The only times I can remember thanking God that we were going to leave soon was when each of my parents were embarrassing me. Not my sister, me. Nobody can understand my choice of style. I’m an out there kind of person, so having clothing that shares that personality, kind of works for me. Anyways, the first story was when my fashion style was starting out, and it was when my sister was really into Hot Topic and I had never went there before. The first time I went into the store, I think my mom almost died. She definitely didn’t like metal chains, black clothes, and all that. At that time, never did I. We were both judgemental about it, but now we’re fine with it. My dad still needs a little more work, but he’ll get there, maybe.

However, Emily has changed over the last two years in favorite stores. The smelly stores like Hollister and Aero, are no longer a demand to visit anymore. We were in Jounrey’s and my mom and sister were looking at shoes. I was at the front of the store, it’s a shoe store, it will only depress me if I spend too much time in there. When I was in there, looking around, I found the Converse and my dad starts talking to the guy who worked there about how these were the shoes of the 80s and all that. It was so embarrassing! It was really awkward, and luckily enough I wasn’t the only one who thought that either. Thank god.

The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.

Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.

List four occasions on which Peter spoke with grace and boldness in the book of Acts.
Answer:
1) on the day of Pentecost

Explanation:
On the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles, Peter was the one among the twelve who rose up and addressed the crowd that gathered in Jerusalem at the event.
At the beautiful gate when the lame man was healed, Peter again gave another sermon that converted thousands of Jews to the faith.
After Peter received the vision about unclean animals , he followed the delegates from Cornelius to his house and there he preached a message in which many gentiles were converted as well as also received the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, at the Jerusalem council, Peter defended the fact that the gentiles not only believed but have also received the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Detail a real or imaginary experience walking through an outdoor event or activity, such as a zoo, open-air market, festival, etc.
Answer:
This festival was like no other. I had never imagined people celebrated flowers! As I looked around, each side of the street had small barrels and boxes filled with exuberant, colorful flowers. It was like having several small gardens between each vendor, so the smell of food mixed with the smell of the flowers. The pavement was packed, and people kept bumping into me because I was too distracted by all the novelty and beauty of the festival to pay attention to where I was going.
