A central idea in the article about the life of Susan Butcher is that a childhood passion for animals and the outdoors became the focus of her entire life. The author develops this idea by describing some important events of Butcher's life and by inserting descriptions of intense moments in her Iditarod racing experiences. In addition to explaining how Butcher became interested in dog racing as a teen, the author gives a history lesson about how the famous Iditarod race actually grew out of a real event. When Butcher learned of the Iditarod story, she decided to race in the modern Iditarod race and began training herself and her dogs. The author also explains how Butcher educated herself with veterinary classes in order to care for sled dogs and other animals, how she lived independently in Alaska for a time working hard to train herself and her dogs to build strength and endurance, and how her experiences with her dogs taught her about the importance of building trust with her animals as well as about the dangers of racing. The author also explains how Butcher's determination helped her become a winner. The descriptions of hardships such as living alone in the Alaskan wild show that Butcher was an extraordinary person who focused in achieving her goal of racing in the Iditarod. The author keeps the reader interested by adding descriptions of close calls she experienced, like the one when her dog Tekla disobeyed her command but kept her from sliding into icy waters. The article includes information about the times Butcher did not win the Iditarod but kept racing, and that shows her determination to follow her passion. Another way the writer develops the central idea is to insert a story about a time Butcher was nearly drowned. The article begins with a dramatic description of Butcher's experience of falling through ice into cold water with her dogs. But only part of the story is told then. More of it is told later in the article after the reader has lots of background information about dog-sled racing and about Butcher's years of preparation for the Iditarod. The article ends with another story that happened after Butcher died from leukemia in 2006. We learn that her daughter drove Butcher's team of dogs in the 2007 race as an honorary musher in memory of her mother. So this shows how a person's passion can leave an impression on other people.

It is a British penny with King Edward VII in elegant profile, but his image has been defaced in what was then a criminal act. Stamped all over the king’s head in crude capitals are the words VOTES FOR WOMEN. This suffragette coin stands for all those who fought for the right to vote. Recent objects have been about nineteenth-century mass production and mass consumption – this one is about the rise of mass political engagement.

Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. As a young child, he enjoyed taking apart clocks and radios to see how they worked. Stephen wasn't a very hardworking student, but he picked up concepts very quickly. At age 17, he began attending Oxford University where he studied chemistry and physics. Upon graduating, he went on to Cambridge University for postgraduate studies|in cosmology (the study of the universe). At age 21, Stephen started to stumble and drop things. His speech became slurred. Doctors diagnosed him with ALS, a disease that left him mostly paralyzed. His illness did not affect his brilliant mind. Stephen did not let his disability keep him from what he wanted to accomplish in life. He got married and had children. He went on to become a world-renowned physicist and best-selling author. His research and theories expanded our Understanding of black holes and the universe. When he was originally diagnosed, doctors had given Stephen only two to three years to live. He ended up living for another 55 years. On March 14, 2018,
