2. Detail/Explain: Did you know rain is created by the water cycle?
2. (a) Statement: The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
3. Detail/Explain: Predicting rainfall amounts from types of cloud.
3. (a) Statement: By looking at whether the cloud is expanding or dissipating, we can predict weather with clouds, particularly predict if a storm is approaching. For example, smaller clouds may only bring morning dew or "fair weather", while clouds that are of substantial size may produce spits of rain throughout the whole day.
4. (a) Detail/Explain: Why is rain important?
Closing: Rain, and others, is a key element in the Earth's water cycle, which is vital to all life on Earth. Rainfall is the main way that the water in the skies comes down to Earth, where it fills our lakes and rivers, recharges the underground aquifers, and provides drinks to plants and animals.
How does Brian use Mr. Perpich's advice to help him begin his survival journey? Use at least two examples from Chapter 5 of Hatchet.
Answer:Chapter 5
Gripped by unbelievable thirst and hunger upon awakening, Brian drinks water from the lake while trying to grasp the fact that he has landed in this complete wilderness. Reassuring himself with the hope that the searchers will come that day to rescue him, Brian recalls his old English teacher Mr. Perpich, who had repeatedly emphasized to his students the importance of a positive attitude, and Brian uses this memory to motivate himself against despair. Brian experiences the profound silence of the woods, noting that such silence never exists back in the city. In a sudden wave of despair Brian suddenly remembers that he had bumped the wheel when reaching over for the pilot's headset. This action had most likely rerouted the plane, and Brian begins to accept the fact that the search planes might not rescue him for a few days. Sensing imminent panic, Brian works to calm himself, determined to find something to eat and to make a shelter.

Here is a letter sent by a mother of a soldier.
Dear Soldier,
It's hard to thank someone for giving me the freedom to live the life God has so graciously given to me.
Thank you for everything you do daily to protect this country, and for that I am forever grateful. You have given up so much for this country, and I personally believe that is something that cannot be repaid. Most soldiers I know believe having a free country is payment enough. I think that's what makes you all so great, you give so much and do not expect anything back. I recognize the selflessness you've demonstrated with your willingness to serve our country.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It is no secret that your training, or any part to being a soldier is easy. I always knew it was a lot of work, but I never realized how much it really was until my my son joined the US Army.
Thank you for your bravery, strength, hard work, commitment, dedication and willingness to do the hard things that are required of you day in and day out. You've given up everything to fight for US, that is something I don't take lightly. So, thank you for everything that you do.
God Bless you & may God Bless America,
A PROUD mother of a US Solider

Discuss the decision people made to be a Loyalist or a Patriot using social, political, and economic reasons.
The choice of whether to support the American Revolution as a Loyalist or a Patriot was impacted by a number of social, political, and economic factors. Socially, Loyalists typically had stronger links to Britain and were wealthier people.
They frequently belonged to the elite or were affiliated with the Anglican Church. Loyalists considered themselves devoted subjects of the British Crown and supported the preservation of the current social structure. Patriots, on the other hand, included artists, small farmers, and laborers from a wider range of social backgrounds.
They fought for the rights of all Americans and aimed to achieve greater social and political equality. Politically, Loyalists supported a powerful central government and valued British control. They worried that leaving Britain would cause chaos and mean they would lose their privileges.
Patriots, however, supported self-government and detested the harsh nature of British rule. They argued in favor of independence and the founding of republican democracy. Economically speaking, Loyalists were closely connected to British trade and industry.
Since they profited from the British mercantile system, they were concerned that independence would jeopardize their financial goals. On the other hand, patriots favored free trade and international business and aimed for economic independence.
In conclusion, social, political, and economic circumstances throughout the American Revolution affected people's decisions about whether to be Loyalists or Patriots. Patriots came from a more diversified social background and advocated greater equality, whereas Loyalists tended to be wealthier people with strong links to Britain.
Politically, Patriots advocated independence and self-government while Loyalists supported British control and a powerful central government. Patriots advocated economic independence, whereas Loyalists had close ties to British trade and industry. These elements influenced people's decisions at this pivotal time in American history.

The killer clowns Chapter 3
One week after Rosa’s death, the clowns had the world completely under their control.
Estella had just heard the news of Rosa’s death and was devastated. “Oh Rosa,” Estella cried, looking forlorn “Why did you have to mess with Pennywise?” Then she went to a dusty trunk in the corner “I vowed never to open this chest ever again… but I have to save Rosa.” Estella pulled out a dusty spell book and set it on the table. She flipped to the page about bringing people back to life. “The blood of the killer poured into the mouth of the killed shall raise the dead man from his earthy bed.” Estella read. She went to Pennywise’s lair and collected a little bit of his blood.
Later, at the graveyard, Estella was pouring the blood of Pennywise into Rosa’s mouth. Rosa immediately opened her eyes, while her arms grew back, “Estella, where am I? what happened?” Rosa said, looking around. “Rosa, you must kill Pennywise, before EVERYONE dies!” “Ok,” said Rosa “ I will try.” Rosa then went home and gathered her weapons, put her brass knuckles on, and went to Pennywise’s lair.
When she got there, Rosa started to have second thoughts, but she kept on moving. There was blood splattered across the walls, dismembered body parts all over the place, and torture devices on a stage in the far corner. But she kept moving till she got to Pennywise’s throne. “HEY, PENNYWISE” Rosa yelled “ YOU ARE SO UGLY THAT WHEN YOU WERE BORN, THE DOCTOR SLAPPED YOUR MOTHER.” “Rosa” Pennywise snarled “didn’t I kill you already?” Rosa then conjured a whirlwind around her and flew to Pennywise, “yeah and you will have to do it again” she said and then stabbed Pennywise in the heart, took out all of the clowns, and saved anymore innocent people from a cruel death for the clowns entertainment.
the end or is it?
Answer:
Ooh ok, so you're adding supernatural activity to your story now. Things are starting to get more intriguing :D
Also, I really like Rosa's personality and sense of humor. That's a nice touch to an adventure/thriller story, if I do say so myself.
Explanation:
I'm glad that you added another character to the mix, but you really could've done more with her. Not to mention everytime you add someone to your story, you have to at least introduce your readers to them somehow. For example: how does Rosa know Estella? And where did she get the spell book from? You don't have to go into too much detail with her, if you don't want to, but at least some explanation would be nice.
Hope this helps you, I'll probably even give you more tips and heads-ups in comments, when I can think of more. Either way, keep up the good work! :)

Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.
Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.
What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?
to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s professional career
to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s determination
Answer:
The author's purpose for including this paragraph is to explain the resistance that Branch Rickey willingly took on in an effort to being the process of ending segregation in Major League Baseball. This paragraph serves to explain that there were people off the field who also helped revolutionize the game.
