THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

Answer:

Greg looked at the sky and wondered if they should turn back. kaguya and Red were following greg from behind. greg called his friend kaguya the moment red was looking away. "We should hurry up and leave him." he said. at that time... Kaguya knew that greg had no trust whatsoever in red. she began hesitating in a roller coaster of emotions as the storm thunderously grew. kaguya had thoughts of greg as a kind person believing in justice no matter what. and now she unexpectedly started to endear a stranger fearing more surprising changes of character from greg coming out of that extremely pressing set of situations. as they continued to walk quietly kaguya was next to red and greg was following them in a sense of betrayal from the one he called his "friend". another horrendous lighting struck the earth as fast as greg's growing envy and jealousy.

He looked up again to see kaguya reaching red's hands. a sudden flash of ominous anger was felt by him. He gripped his fists tight and ran towards red inorder to mercilessly punch him in the face. As the the lightning storm grew more intense, greg was looking at a girl with a broken jaw lying on the ground. as if he was possessed, as if he was being manipulated...he suddenly realized that kaguya was pushed by the intensely strong wind into his fists. He then acted quick out of surprise...he punched his frail friend with bloody jealousy. tears began dropping out of his eyes like the rain falling on her fallen body. not only greg who checked her pulse but also the neutral red knew that she was no longer. and so red calmed greg down by telling him that she'll be okay even though she won't....because death is not revertible.

Alejandro, a figure from Abuela's past, shows up unexpectedly. ... It creates surprise since Abuela's admirer from long ago turns out to be the writer of the love letters left for "Bella."

answer is A

There are days that are easily forgotten, but there are also those days which can never be forgotten as they change your life forever! One such unforgettable day happened to me when I was five years old. It’s been six years now, but I still remember every single thing that happened on that day, as if it was just yesterday.

It was a bright, sunny Sunday morning. I woke up and had my breakfast. It was the New Year’s Eve and we had planned to go somewhere to celebrate the New Year. As my family and I were sitting and planning the event in the living room, something kept pinging my brain, as if a signal — I was not comfortable.

As we were planning the celebration, I ignored the disturbance in my mind and concentrated on various other things being planned.

It was decided that we’d celebrate the New Year in a mall. So in the evening, we got ready and sat in the car. I was sitting close to my beloved brother. Unaware of the future, I felt scared — I was disturbed and wasn’t feeling happy at all.

We walked into the overcrowded mall. There were numerous things to look forward to and soon I forgot about the weariness I was having. After an hour or two, I noticed the absence of my brother. I started yelling at my busy family who jumped when they heard my first yell.

My family and I started to look for my brother. Tears filled my eyes when I searched the whole mall without a sign of my brother. Announcements were made but I couldn’t see my brother. When it was midnight, we went hopelessly to our home. A lot of search and enquiries made but to no avail...

Our family has a lost a precious part of it. I get sad and depressed when I think that had I understood what my sixth sense was telling me, my brother would have been with me today!
