BRAINLIEST
How does Brian change as a character in the first half of the novel "Hatchet"? What lessons are vital to these changes, and how are they connected to the story's themes of survival and man vs. nature?” Answer this question with at least two paragraphs of 5-7 sentences each. Include at least three pieces of textual evidence to support your answer.
Answer:
The main character in Brian Robeson, is a thirteen-year-old boy from New York City. This novel primarily deals with themes of man and nature as well as of self-awareness and self-actualization, mainly through Brian's experiences living alone in the wilderness. Therefore, he is essentially the only principal character. Brian's parents have just recently divorced, and this conflict between them has deeply affected Brian and his sense of stability. His sense of self has been disrupted by his parents' split, and he bears the burden of "The Secret," that is, the knowledge that his mother is having an affair with another man.
Brian is an exceptionally dynamic character. While he demonstrates vulnerability, frustration, and anger at the beginning of the novel, his experiences in the north woods of Canada alter his perspective forever. He learns lessons and adopts qualities that are relevant not only to wilderness survival but also to life as a whole. Patience, observation, an appreciation for the natural world, and a newfound connection between mind and body all contribute to Brian's character development and to his emerging manhood.
Explanation:
Answer:I read this novel awhile ago but I sorta have a memory of it.But it might not be a good memory since it was from around to 3-4 years ago
Explanation:Brian matures through his new ability to be patient. Setbacks that would have immobilized the "old Brian," the Brian at the start of the novel, later become manageable. He learns to control his temper when he realizes that his frustration and hopelessness does not help his family situation.Here are the challenges The foods he found were fish, turtle eggs, and rabbits. He overcame his hunger and one of his many problems that he had to face. Another difficulty he had to face was when a porcupine attacked him in his own shelter. The porcupine attacked him with hundreds of quills and it was very painful for him.
Sorry if it's incorrect I'll read more of hatchet and add it too the comments if this is incorrect.

Answer:
yes The United States of America has eight percent of the forested area of the world - some 770 million acres (312 million hectares). Fourteen percent of the world's growing stock (including 18 percent of the softwood growing stock) is in the United States. This country cuts about one fifth of the timber removed from the world's forests. Although some forest products are exported, most of this cut is for domestic consumption. The United States also imports more forest products than she exports. Imports are primarily softwood lumber, newsprint paper, wood pulp and pulpwood

Write a short summary of the text that includes three of the central ideas the author presents in "Should Metal Bats be Banned in Youth Baseball?".
On March 11, 2010, a high school pitcher in California was facing a player using a metal bat, when he was hit in the temple by a line drive travelling 100 mph. His skull was crushed, and he spent weeks in a coma. Fortunately, after surgery and months of rehabilitation, he survived. The accident brought to the forefront an issue that has been a safety concern ever since the 1970s when metal bats began being used instead of wooden bats. Metal bats are dangerous and should be banned by youth sport leagues for several reasons. Baseballs hit with metal bats travel at a higher rate of speed than those hit with wooden bats. Researcher J.J. Crisco studied aluminum bats and found that they produced a “trampoline” effect, which means the baseball springs off of the bat at a high rate of speed. This happens so fast that pitchers and infielders don’t have time to react, which places them in danger. The New York Times reported that baseballs hit with metal bats travel almost 20 mph faster than baseballs hit with wooden bats. This is a huge difference to a player trying to make a play on a line drive in time. Consequently, the high rate of speed makes using a metal bat dangerous. In addition, there have been many instances of players getting hurt by baseballs hit with metal bats. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 1991 and 2001, 18 players were killed by batted balls, and only two involved wooden bats. This proves that wood bats are safer than metal. Also, The New Yo r k Times reports that several lawsuits have been won by parents who sued metal bat makers after their child had been hurt. After being presented with evidence about the dangers of aluminum bats, judges and juries agreed they are responsible for injuries. Therefore, the high rate of injuries proves that metal bats are unsafe. Some people claim that wooden bats are too expensive to supply to youth leagues because they are not as long lasting. This is true. Even so, a higher cost should not matter when safety is concerned. Metal bats endanger the lives of young baseball players. First, they make the baseball travel at a high rate of speed, making it difficult to catch. Secondly, they have resulted in many injuries. Banning metal bats is necessary in order to save the lives of young players, and everyone concerned should contact their local lawmakers.

Answer:
Humanity co-exists with nature in a relationship that periodically shifts between symbiotic and parasitic. We maintain this relationship in order to survive. In exchange, we carefully monitor how our behavior alters the natural environment and affects those living within it. This responsibility is the price we pay for our species’ sentience and dominance. To help fulfill our duty, America established the 1954 Wilderness Act in hopes of becoming passive “guardians” of nature instead of encroaching “gardeners.” However, the Wilderness Act has failed. In his article, “Rethinking the Wild”, Christopher Solomon questions the effectiveness of the law and correctly concludes that, after fifty years of dormancy, mankind must take an active role in environmental protection, the role of the gardener. Though critics may argue that the passivity of the “guardian” should be maintained, realistically, little can be done to preserve the environment when we refuse to do anything. Because mankind has a greater stake in the wilderness than we realize, we must assume a proactive role in protecting the wilderness out of respect for nature and our own ethical standards.

B.It contradicts some of the ideas that were in the introduction. C.It introduces a problem caused by a statement in the introduction. D.It compares and contrasts ideas mentioned in the introduction..
Answer:Reading is a wonderful habit to develop. It's a terrific boredom-buster, can
improve your memory, and is fun for the whole family. Start small to develop the
habit by reading for just a few minutes a day. Reading books that you enjoy and
want to continue reading is a great way to maintain your habit and become a lifelong reader.
Set aside time to read every day. It may be just five to 10 minutes that you have to
spare, but crack a book open at least once a day. Try to anchor your reading habit
to something else you do every day. For instance, read while you eat or have a cup
of tea. Reading before bed is also a great way to develop your reading habit. If
you can, read at the same time every day so your brain starts to associate that
time as "reading time."

Earthships
What is an earthship?
An earthship is a home designed to make use of recycled materials and increase energy conservation. Ideally, by living in an earthship, a person can have a home that is “off the grid.” People who live in earthships do not depend on outside sources for electricity, food, or water. Building an earthship may be an attractive choice for those who want to use fewer of our planet’s non-renewable resources.
The Foundation
First, the foundation is built by firmly packing dirt inside recycled tires. Then, the tires are placed in a pyramid-like stack going as high as needed. Next, cement is spread and smoothed between the tires to create a solid wall. When this is finished, the walls are sealed with a protective coating and painted. Some interior walls are built using recycled cans and cement, also sealed with a protective coating.
Solar Energy
Solar panels give enough stored energy in batteries to provide electricity for appliances, lighting, and electronics. However, solar-powered batteries hold about one-third the charge of energy used in a regular household wired for electricity. This means that people either buy more batteries or intend to use less electricity than a conventional household. Ideally, earthships are built in places where there is an abundance of sunshine year-round.
Floor-to-ceiling windows on an earthship’s south wall also allow plenty of sunlight. It is important that no trees block the light on this side of the house. The sunlight shines directly onto a brick floor, which then absorbs the heat. This provides enough warmth to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house for the rest of the day. This method of heating the home is called passive solar. Most earthships also have either a wood stove or a heater that uses propane, a type of natural gas. These heat sources are useful on cloudy days. During the summer, the combination of the cool temperature of the earth beneath the floor plus the thick walls can keep the house comfortable without the use of air-conditioning.
Recycled Water
Gutters on the roof collect rainwater that then trickles down into large storage barrels. The water is used for taking showers, doing dishes, and flushing the toilet. It is also filtered for drinking. People sometimes build a greenhouse to grow their own food. Water that has been used for dishwashing or showers can be saved if the soaps are chemical-free. This recycled “gray” water can be used yet again to water the plants in the greenhouse.
Potential Problems
Earthships have been around since the 1970s. Now, long-term studies have revealed some problems. For one, without sufficient sunlight during the winter, large amounts of natural gas known as propane and/or wood are used to heat the home. Propane use can be costly, and unless one has planned far ahead, a wood supply can be quickly depleted.
Another problem is that tires used in the foundation walls can, after a long period of time, begin to crack, releasing a toxic gas that has built up over time in the walls. The use of cement, which is a porous material with many small holes and spaces, allows the gases to leak into the air. The type of gas emitted is not detectable by smell but can make people sick. To address this problem, the walls of the home needs to be resealed every year.
Cost can also be a significant challenge. Some earthship building companies claim that it is far cheaper to build an earthship because only recycled materials are used. Also, a contractor’s license or training is not needed to build one. This, though, is true if it is built 100% by the owner, which could take years to complete. Additionally, the cement, plumbing, and electrical components, as well as the cost of installing solar panels, can be expensive. Just as with the construction of a conventional home, proper permits are often needed to build an earthship.
There are clear advantages and disadvantages to these unique homes. As technology improves and new solutions are discovered, earthships may continue to be a wise way to live sustainably using minimal resources.
