Answer: The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned in the American city of Chicago during October 8–10, 1871. The fire killed approximately 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles (9 km2) of the city, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless.[3] The fire began in a neighborhood southwest of the city center. A long period of hot dry windy conditions, and the wooden construction prevalent in the city, led to the conflagration. The fire leapt the south branch of the Chicago River and destroyed much of central Chicago and then leapt the main branch of the river, consuming the Near North Side.
Help flowed to the city from near and far after the fire. The city government improved building codes to stop the rapid spread of future fires and rebuilt rapidly to those higher standards. A donation from the United Kingdom spurred the establishment of the Chicago Public Library, a free public library system, a contrast to the private, fee-for-membership libraries common before the fire.
The fire is claimed to have started at about 8:30 p.m. on October 8, in or around a small barn belonging to the O'Leary family that bordered the alley behind 137 DeKoven Street.[4] The shed next to the barn was the first building to be consumed by the fire. City officials never determined the exact cause of the blaze,[5] but the rapid spread of the fire due to a long drought in that year's summer, strong winds from the southwest, and the rapid destruction of the water pumping system, explain the extensive damage of the mainly wooden city structures. There has been much speculation over the years on a single start to the fire. The most popular tale blames Mrs. O'Leary's cow, who allegedly knocked over a lantern; others state that a group of men were gambling inside the barn and knocked over a lantern.[6] Still other speculation suggests that the blaze was related to other fires in the Midwest that day.[1]
The fire's spread was aided by the city's use of wood as the predominant building material in a style called balloon frame. More than two-thirds of the structures in Chicago at the time of the fire were made entirely of wood, with most of the houses and buildings being topped with highly flammable tar or shingle roofs. All of the city's sidewalks and many roads were also made of wood.[6] Compounding this problem, Chicago received only 1 inch (25 mm) of rain from July 4 to October 9, causing severe drought conditions before the fire, while strong southwest winds helped to carry flying embers toward the heart of the city.[1]:144
In 1871, the Chicago Fire Department had 185 firefighters with just 17 horse-drawn steam pumpers to protect the entire city.[1]:146 The initial response by the fire department was quick, but due to an error by the watchman, Matthias Schaffer, the firefighters were sent to the wrong place, allowing the fire to grow unchecked.[1]:146 An alarm sent from the area near the fire also failed to register at the courthouse where the fire watchmen were, while the firefighters were tired from having fought numerous small fires and one large fire in the week before.[7] These factors combined to turn a small barn fire into a conflagration.
When firefighters finally arrived at DeKoven Street, the fire had grown and spread to neighboring buildings and was progressing toward the central business district. Firefighters had hoped that the South Branch of the Chicago River and an area that had previously thoroughly burned would act as a natural firebreak.[1]:147 All along the river, however, were lumber yards, warehouses, and coal yards, and barges and numerous bridges across the river. As the fire grew, the southwest wind intensified and became superheated, causing structures to catch fire from the heat and from burning debris blown by the wind. Around midnight, flaming debris blew across the river and landed on roofs and the South Side Gas Works.[1]:148

What does the verse in Song of Solomon 5:16 mean “His mouth is most sweet “thank you very much
Hi there! Are you reading the Bible? I very much enjoy to read the Bible as well. And, sometimes to understand the Bible you need someone to guide you. If you have any questions you can come to me anytime.
Let me explain, this story is not about two lovers and the singers, King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba and the singers as many have proposed. Instead this song is a love story of a shepherd boy and a country girl, a Shulammite.
As described by the book published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society “All scripture is inspired by God and beneficial” states: “The material in the book is presented through a series of conversations. There is a constant change of speakers. The persons with speaking parts are Solomon the king of Jerusalem, a shepherd, his beloved Shulammite, her brothers, court ladies (“daughters of Jerusalem”), and women of Jerusalem (“daughters of Zion”).”
Now, what does the girl mean when his lovers “mouth is most sweet” or as my Bible translation states: “His mouth is sweetness itself”? What she means is that her lover says sweet things with his lips. His lips are sweet because they express through words desirable and beautiful things she needs to hear. She is in love with him, and hearing beautiful words from his lips livens more her love for him. Based on Elliot‘s commentary, he states: “His mouth is most sweet.—Literally, his palate… his voice is exquisitely sweet. Palate, is used of the organ of speech and speech itself”. The Bible Translation of the New World states: “Your palate is sweet”.

Write a story that includes the words, ... nothing could have prepared him for what he saw ....
Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw… he was just a child when he saw it. The murdering of his own mother by the hands on his own father. He screamed and whined but to no avail, he begged and even tried to interfere but his fathers brut strength was more powerful than that of his six year old son. His father pushed his own son to the ground, making an impact so great that the boy broke his nose, deforming it. And, after a while the boy lost consciousness. His father murdered his mother with his bare hands, nothing was the same anymore. He had no more motherly compassion or tenderness. His mother was his best friend, no one could replace her. Now, he had no guidance, no hope, no future; all was gone for his father too was in prison also.
As a boy he was secluded from all others and chewed on his nails very frequently. He never said to anyone his troubles but even voices tormented him, so he secluded himself from everyone. The voices would tell him how worthless he was as a human being and also commanded him to kill. However, the boy never listened to the voices, though his self esteem was squashed and thrown to the dirt. He cried sometimes during the nights hoping to commit a vile act against himself, “Perhaps I’ll cut my veins” he said. He was lost and had no purpose to live.
When he grew, he built a log cabin inside the woods near a trail that was filled with thorn bushes. His clothes were teared apart and eaten by flies. Even cobwebs found their way between the fingers of his hands. He was so very depressed. Until, one day a woman came walking down the trail. She was a magnificent beauty, when she was near the log cabin the boy who was now a grown man heard her footsteps, opened the door swiftly, got out and behind the thorn bushes peaked to see who the brave wanderer was. When he saw it was a beautiful woman he was thrilled, but realized soon enough she would leave. So all his fantasies and illusions were broken immediately. However, the woman carried a map.
She was headed towards an old lake, for it was said that the old lake brought a husband and she was desperate for no one took a liking to her due to her maturity and wisdom. So, out of the shadows came out the grown man who was spying on this gorgeous damsel and offered his services. The lady thought not twice and accepted. He showed her the lake and she submerged in it. When she came out she realized the man who helped her was handsome beyond compare.
Extra: (And, when he took her back to the place they originally met, she asked: “Would you like me to stay?” He nodded yes. So, she stayed with him and each other delighted in each other’s company.)

Answer: Be committed, do not be afraid to ask questions, track your grade, stand up for yourself, do not let your peers change you.
Explanation: The assignments are going to get hard, so you must stay committed and put in the effort. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to get back up. Do not make a habit out of procrastination. If you don't understand something, do not be afraid to ask questions, if a good GPA is what your aim is, then it's important to get an understanding. Stay current with your grades, it's important to know your standings, so that you know what you mastered, and what still needs more practice.

On Sunday, September 2nd, shortly after midnight, a fire broke out in a bakery and quickly spread. As rumors of suspicious foreigners setting fires spread, the streets became chaotic. The wind had already fanned the bakery fire into a firestorm by the time large-scale demolitions were ordered on Sunday night, defeating such measures. The death toll is unknown, but it is thought to be in the low hundreds. Everyone in the area grabbed their items and fled out of their beloved houses. Thousands of houses were burned down but they were all eventually rebuilt but it took many years. The fire continued to burn and lasted for around four straight days. The wind continued to change direction and fanned out the fire to different areas. Finally, the fire stopped and even though few people lost their lives, the fire was one of the worst in the 17th century.
Answer:
This was a passage about The Great Fire of London that happened in September of 1666. It occurred at 1 am, and the cause was because the bakery called Puddling Lane, the maid did not tend the ovens properly causing sparks to fly. This is how the fire started. The fire was propelled to further limits because since winter was coming, people had stocked up on oil and other things that were easy for fire to catch on. Then there was a wind from the East that spread the fire, causing a mass panic. It was unfortunate that where the fire started was in a poor area, where the foundation of the building were not sturdy and close together powering the fire even more. Eventually the fire stopped and the casualties were not insane, but 80% of the building were destroyed in the blaze.
