Life in Alaska vs. Life in Ohio Living in different places takes many roles on people. Destinations such Alaska are always cold and on the other hand in Ohio people experience many different types of weather on a weekly pattern. Living in Ohio my whole life, I can relate to that very well because one day it could be sunny outside and then the next day it would be snowing. Once you are accustomed to living in a place for a long time, the weather and situation you have to take are not unusual anymore. Weather does not stop people from doing Alaskan’s daily routines, takes a toll on cars and other utilities, and Ohioans are used to experiencing many different weather patterns throughout a week's time. Weather does not stop people from doing their daily routines. In the article, “Even in Alaska, temps as low as -59 are hard to handle”, it mentions that kids go to recess when it is still minus twenty degrees and the kids do not …show more content…
When the weather gets so cold, objects take different shapes and start to act differently just like people do. In the article, “Even in Alaska, temps as low as -59 are hard to handle”, it states “Tires flatten on the bottom, leading to a bumpy ride until they snap back into shape. Changing a tire, and spinning a metal lug nut, can frostbite a bare finger. If a furnace fails, water pipes can freeze and then burst when they're thawed.” The article also mentions that it is nearly impossible to cook when it gets so cold because the propane will start acting up and they have to cook with what they have to get by. The houses in Alaska are matted with insulation to try and get much warm air in as possible so utilities do not break and and it doesn't slow Alaskan natives down. In Ohio, the weather has never been so cold that we have major problems that cause us not to be able to cook or stay warm in on our houses, but natives of Alaska are used to having problems when the weather gets so
Task/Activity: Instead of taking a spelling test, students in both classes jumped right into PARCC preparation. Students received a packet containing a reading selection from the novel A Woman Who Went to Alaska and multiple choice questions that was included on the 2015 PARCC and released to the public. Students read the packet and answered the questions independently before the class reconvened, discussing the reading and its questions as a group. Following this activity, students worked together in pairs to write down the challenges they faced while completing the packet and identify the skills they still need in order to succeed on the PARCC exam. After this, the class received a packet titled “Ruby Bridges: Girl of Courage,” and were instructed to complete the first task, which including reading and annotating as well as completing four questions about the passage. The rest of the packet would be completed in stages during the following week.
Today I am going to be explaining how the three different point of views or P.O.V the narrators in three different stories all about unfairness to the miners during the gold rush or the late eight-teen-hundreds though. Mainly I'm going to be mentioning the character's narrators background, family, and their opinions. For opinions I'm going to be talking about if they thought the rules where to strict or just right.
Did you know that it would take an estimated 1 billion dollars to restore the Everglades? The Everglades National Park is a wetland with grass, marshes, and hardwood hammocks on the southern part of Florida. The U.S. “Army Corps of Engineers” and many other groups are trying to find a way to fix the water supply in the Everglades. Not only does it have an effect on humans it also has an effect on animals.
When I visited Denali National Park I found out that it is 6 million acres of Alaska's wild interior. The tallest mountain is Mt. McKinley and it is 20,310 ft. tall. Mt. McKinley is North America's tallest peak. With terrain of tundra, spruce forest and glacier, the park is home to wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, moose, caribou and Dall sheep. Popular activities in summer include biking, backpacking,hiking and mountaineering. The park was founded on February, 26 1917 by President Wilson.
Hypothermia is a cause for concern when temperatures are in the 32 degrees to 50 degrees range. Since winter shelters are only available once temperatures drop way under, those without homes have to suffer in the cold winter weather. This shows how homeless people must be strong enough to endure the harsh weather and only those with stronger immune systems will be able to survive. The cold winter weather affects everyone and only the fittest survive. “While some called her a thorn in their side, others called her their friend and a ‘special soul.’ At the end of December, she died from exposure on a bench outside of a coffee shop,” (Lives of the Homeless). The harsh conditions made it hard for this lady to survive. She, like many others, had a life and a story to tell but the weather was unsuitable to be homeless in. Many like her die because of the weather. The

Settlers maintained their crops and livestock, but while doing so the temperature drops past the freezing point. Children were attending school when the blizzard started to make its way toward the prairie. Unprepared with the proper clothing to at least have a fighting chance to stay warm during the frigid temperatures. These children were without over coats to keep warm, in one situation with two sisters Eda and Matilda, the author wrote “the older sister Eda took off her wrap to cover the younger sister.” (Laskin, 46) Times were very different then they are today, where heavier clothing are required and more available may not have been accessible to the settlers of that time. It was understood that so many children died with only a blanket of some sort, while walking against the heavy winds that was strong enough to rip it from the shoulders of the children. Many of these settlers died because of not dressing for the weather, or not having the resources to make or buy the
Culture, diversity, and rich history are words that describe Alaska, but how often do citizens and visitors of Alaska experience and notice those three aspects? People from all over the world takes a journey to Alaska to witness the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, the food, and the cultures; however, some citizens forget about what encompasses them and they do not embrace the beauty Alaska has to offer. Alaska hosts several events and is also a place for great opportunities. The events and opportunities ranges from topics like science, climate change issues, music, art, leadership, tours, and so much more intriguing activities, but there is one idea that lacks in most of these events and opportunities, the display of Alaska’s culture, diversity, and rich history. At the Alaska State Fair, an idea for a new event would be a way to show the three aspects
Climate change is influence the health of Alaskans in a variety of ways changes in the environment and ecology are resulting in new or increase threats to water quality or quantity as well of changes in the incidence of certain human and animal conditions. Rural and indigenous communities are faced with growing concerns over economic, health and cultural impacts due to climate change related declines in the availability of plant and animals
Not the End: Analysis of Death in Literature through Green’s Looking For Alaska, Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, and Golding’s Lord of the Files
Today as I was getting ready to go out, I started debating whether I even wanted to go outside because it was so cold. I started to realize how difficult it would be for me to acclimate to such drastic change in weather. It's silly to think that that was the only thing that made me nervous about moving here, but Florida is so much warmer that it doesn't compare. I caught myself wishing for some of that Florida weather and couldn't imagine what I would do when it got colder than 45 degrees. However, once I opened my eyes to the reality that I actually hated the heavy humidity in the Florida air that made it difficult to breath at times and that there is a nice warm feeling that the winter brings around. I wasn't

Considered the “bottom of the world” by most, Antarctica is often perceived as a barren ice-land where there is little to no possibility of sustaining life. Being the “coldest, windiest, and driest continent on Earth,” one could easily fathom living on the Antarctic continent being near impossible (CIA 2018). However, the opposite can be found true of the southernmost continent. Amazingly, Antarctica boasts around 75 active research stations to support up to thousands of researchers and support staff for both austral summer and year-round seasons (Dag Jølle n.d.). Most permanent research stations and huts established by various countries around the globe are built on top of barren rock, due to majority of the continent being covered by continental glaciers. While economic activity is limited to the expenses of scientific research, there are a minor number of commercial fishing operations that utilize the Southern Ocean (CIA 2018).
As temperatures continue to change, the earth’s climate gets hotter, glaciers begin to be affected and currents in the air begin to change. What will happen to our ecosystem in the Arctic regions if these environmental factors continue? Drastic change to the environment from continuous heating will begin to affect colder regions such as the Arctic, which will then affect the atmosphere, oceans, temperatures, and species living in those areas. The Arctic environment in every aspect will be affected by increase heating in the temperature. The continuation of this affect can lead to ice mass decreasing due to melting and sea levels will rise and become cooler. Adaption will become key in areas affected especially for the species living in these areas.
