Read the following excerpt from "To Build a Fire." How does Jack London show that his main character’s inability to plan for possible problems eventually leads to his death? Use textual evidence from this excerpt to support your answer.

But all this—the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all—made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a newcomer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The main character doesn't understand that the cold will be more than he can bear. He also doesn't seem to be very good at thinking ahead and planning for problems. These two weaknesses are what lead to the man's death. This part of the excerpt shows that the main character does not have the ability to plan for the worst:

The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.

In this part of the excerpt, London states that his character "is without imagination." London also writes that the man is only "quick and alert in the things of life," but doesn’t understand the meaning of those things. This quotation suggests that the man was unable to imagine what he had never experienced. Since he had never experienced the harsh cold, he didn’t understand that his body wouldn’t be able to handle the harsh weather of the Yukon. That’s why he wasn’t prepared. He assumed that his trek would only be "cold and uncomfortable" rather than deadly. In the end, he must face his own foolishness.

y3 + x for x = 6 and y = 1

Answers

Answer: 9

Explanation:

To solve this, you'd first have to substitute the values of x and y. Since x=6 and y=1, all you have to do is plug them in.

Equation:  (1)3+6

Next, all you have to do is solve. Since 3(1)=3, and 6+3=9, the value of the expression is equal to 9.

**Unless the 3 is an exponent. It didn't look like it to me but I solved that as well just in case***

y³+x

1. Substitute

(1)³+6

2. Solve

1³= 1 and 1+6=7

So, the answer is 7 (again, this is only if the 3 is an exponent. I couldn't tell)...

Tents kept the rides in great condition during extreme weather. The fair setup began late in July, and it ended at the beginning of September. When fairgoers bought tickets, they often purchased too many. Although some people got sick from riding, the extreme roller coaster was popular, and there was always a very long line. are these simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex

Answers

Answer:

1. Tents kept the rides in great condition during extreme weather. - Simple

2. The fair setup began late in July, and it ended at the beginning of September. - Compound

3. When fair-goers bought tickets, they often purchased too many. - Complex

4. Although some people got sick from riding, the extreme roller coaster was popular, and there was always a very long line. - Compound-complex

Explanation:

1. A simple sentence is constituted of a single independent clause. It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought.

2. A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses. We connect them by using a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

3. A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause and a dependent one. A dependent clause needs the independent one to give it context, so that it makes sense. Subordinating conjunctions should be used, such as when, where, if, though, etc.

4. A compound-complex sentence is formed by two independent clauses and a dependent one, at least.
