BRAINLIEST
Explain why it sometimes takes a massive disaster to make us appreciate what we have in life.

Write a decent paragraph.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is another kind of iffy question. We should make sure that you tell us that this is a question that is school related. I'm answering it because I think it is, but if a mod disagrees, it's going to be deleted.

You know, the answer really depends on how you see what's around you. Good things happening to you can also be life altering. If you have a good relationship with someone and it breaks up, everything depends on how you see that.

Are you grateful for it happening at all, or does it make you miserable? As you mature, that question become of paramount importance. The same question applies to anything you want to bring up. I find that the older I get, the more similarities I see between disasters and the effects they have on me. I finally, about 6 years ago, honed in on the one that meant the most (to me) -- the Holocaust created by Nazi Germany. I have spent a great many hours on it. It was life altering. I had (and still have) trouble understanding why exactly it came about. In the end, about 1/2 the Jewish population in Europe was snuffed out. What bothered me as much as anything is that it was mechanized: it was done scientifically from finding the Jews to getting rid of the bodies. All of it was so very systematic.

One of my conclusions was that morality did not keep up with science. Just because a scientific method existed, didn't mean it should have been used.

But just so you know, there is something else that is happened to me in my life. Thank God I could feel the depth of it: my first girl friend. That was earth shaking.

And my current life. I'm 81. I am kept alive by the diligence and perseverance of a group of scientists, that I, unfortunately, will never meet. I have Leukemia. Their medication keeps me alive. It is painless (or I am not in any pain). I have been on it for 27 months. My wife died of the same thing which makes me wonder if there is a virus involved.

So you see it is not only the big things that make us grateful. It is the many little things that add up to the way we see life.

The Call of the Wild
Jack London
Chapter 1
Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San
Diego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland
These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost
Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. Judge Miller's place, it was called It stood back from the road, half hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide
cool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house was approached by graveled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns and under the interfacing boughs of tall poplars. At the rear
things were on even a more spacious scale than at the front. There were great stables, where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vine-clad servants' cottages, an endless and orderly array of
Outhouses, long grape arbors, green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. Then there was the pumping plant for the artesian well, and the big cement tank where Judge Miller's boys took their morning plunge
and kept cool in the hot afternoon
And over this great domain Buck ruled. Here he was born, and here he had lived the four years of his life. It was true, there were other dogs. There could not but be other dogs on so vast a place, but they did
not count. They came and went, resided in the populous kennels, or lived obscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of Toots, the Japanese pug, or Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, —strange
creatures that rarely put nose out of doors or set foot to ground. On the other hand, there were the fox terriers, a score of them at least, who yelped fearful promises at Toots and Ysabel looking out of the
windows at them and protected by a legion of housemaids armed with brooms and mops
But Buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his. He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge's sons; he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge's daughters, on
long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge's feet before the roaring library fire; he carried the judge's grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their
footsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even beyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel
he utterly ignored, for he was king.--king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's place, humans included
Which detail from the text suggests Buck's life may soon change?
The fact of the other dogs on so vast a place"
The mention of trouble brewing"
The reference to the morning plunge"
The wide cool veranda" around the house

At Wednesday’s Third Annual Lake Shore Bake-Off, apprentice pastry chef Julie Romanova made quite a splash with her life-sized cake statue of Edgar Allan Poe. When the judges attempted to slice Romanova’s cake for a taste test, however, they encountered an unusual problem.
“I accidentally brought the wrong cake to the Bake-Off,” Romanova sheepishly admitted. “The statue made of actual cake is still in the kitchen of the bakery where I work. I was in such a rush that I brought my practice statue, which is just cardboard and glue covered with a cake frosting called fondant.”
The judges were forced to disqualify Romanova from the contest, although unofficially they praised her creativity and skill.
“Personally, I hate to give the first place prize to a run-of-the-mill cake like this one,” said judge Dmitri Wainwright in reference to the Bake-Off winner, a cake shaped like a giant hamburger, complete with pickles and lettuce. “We see cakes shaped like food every year, and it gets boring. Ms. Romanova surprised and delighted us, and I hope she will return next year with an equally impressive entry.”
Julie Romanova began creating elaborate cakes two years ago after leaving her job in data entry. She is currently working as an apprentice with Maurice and Ralston’s Bakery in downtown Lake Shore. When asked about next year’s competition, she was adamant about one thing.
“Next year, I promise not to feed the judges a dead poet made of cardboard!” she said with a smile.
