When it is seventy-five below zero, a man must not fail in his first attempt to build a fire—that is, if his feet are wet. If his feet are dry, and he fails, he can run along the trail for half a mile and restore his circulation. But the circulation of wet and freezing feet cannot be restored by running when it is seventy-five below. No matter how fast he runs, the wet feet will freeze the harder. All this the man knew. The old-timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice. Foreshadowing Figurative language Verbal irony Symbolism

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The figurative language used in the excerpt is:

foreshadowing

Explanation:

This excerpt was taken from the short story "To Build a Fire" by American novelist Jack London (1876-1926). London is famous for writing stories in which the conflict man vs. nature is developed. He used his own experience as an adventurer as inspiration for his plots.

This particular passage of "To Build a Fire" uses a figurative language known as foreshadowing, in which the author reveals details that will later unfold into something important in the story. Here, the main character has been warned by an old man about the dangers of extreme cold weather. The old man is most likely much wiser than the young main character. However, he does not listen to him and go out into the forest on his own. This will later unfold into the young man's death. The old man's warning served as foreshadowing for that happening.

The Justice Department announced the findings of its two civil rights investigations related to Ferguson, Missouri, today.  The Justice Department found that the Ferguson Police Department (FPD) engaged in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the First, Fourth, and 14th Amendments of the Constitution.  The Justice Department also announced that the evidence examined in its independent, federal investigation into the fatal shooting of Michael Brown does not support federal civil rights charges against Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.

“As detailed in our report, this investigation found a community that was deeply polarized, and where deep distrust and hostility often characterized interactions between police and area residents,” said Attorney General Eric Holder.  “Our investigation showed that Ferguson police officers routinely violate the Fourth Amendment in stopping people without reasonable suspicion, arresting them without probable cause, and using unreasonable force against them.  Now that our investigation has reached its conclusion, it is time for Ferguson’s leaders to take immediate, wholesale and structural corrective action.  The report we have issued and the steps we have taken are only the beginning of a necessarily resource-intensive and inclusive process to promote reconciliation, to reduce and eliminate bias, and to bridge gaps and build understanding.” 

Do you agree with the statement “ you are what you do " . Why?

Answers

Answer:    NO

Explanation:

You are not what you do and here is why. Everybody makes mistakes, and if we make a mistake, we cannot let it affect us or make us who we are. Many people who chose to dwell on those types of mistakes, let those actions define themselves. These types of actions include choosing the wrong friends, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, etc. We must not let these actions define who we are, but rather we must define what those action are, and get past them.
