1. It is easy to understand why Mrs. Smith is always so busy between 5:45 and 7:45 in the evening. At about 5:45 she has to start cooking because Mr. Smith gets home from work at 6:30 and wants his dinner soon after he arrives. At the same time she has to keep an eye on her two sons to see that they do their homework. At 6:15 it is time for the baby to be fed, bathed, and then put to bed. The two boys have to be ready for bed at about 7:15, and if Mrs. Smith does not watch them carefully, the do not wash very well. Finally, she has to wash up the dirty dishes and tidy the living room and the kitchen. Only very rarely does she finish this before 7:45.
2. There are other curios little of materials between sea and land. While the process of evaporation, which raises vapor into the air, leaves most of the salts behind, a surprising amount of salt does intrude itself into the atmosphere and rides along distances on the wind. The so called ’cyclic salt’ is picked up by the winds from the spray of a rough, cresting sea or breaking surf and is blown inland, then brought down in the rain and return by rivers to the ocean. These tiny, invisible particles of sea salt drifting in the atmosphere are, in fact, one of the many forms of atmospheric nuclei around which raindrops forms. Areas near the sea, in general, receive most salt. Published figures have listed 24 to 36 punds per acre per year for England and more than 100 pounds for British Guiana. But the most outstanding example of long-distance, large scale transport of cyclic salt is furnished by Sambhar salt lake in Northern India. It receives 3000 tons of salt a year, carried to itr on the hot dry moonsoons of summer from the sea, 400 miles away.
3. The two brothers were quite different. Bob was tall, fair and slim; John was short dark and fat. Bob was like his mother, and John was like his father. Bob was never happier than when he had something practical to do; John, on the other

    Is this woman the mother of the children? We often call caretakers "Mother" for the roll they play in our development. We all need time to ourselves, parents included, but there is a difference between spending time in another room and spending time out behind the garage. This may be a telltale sign that the woman is merely a caretaker and not the mother of the house. Rita's use of the word "Pouting" in her description of Liza may be another sign to the reader that the woman is not the mother of the children, but may be Liza's mother. Who is Liza? Rita makes no mention of this and we are left to assume she is one of the napping children. If indeed Liza was napping, and assuming she just woke from her nap, why is she pouting? Why did Rita not write "…before Liza appeared at the top of the stairs, wondering if mother was out back with the field mice again", as this would clearly indicate the woman was the mother of the children. Since is it not the latter, we can only speculate about Liza. If indeed the woman is merely the mother to Liza, then our understanding of her fatigue is clear. The woman is not only taking care of her own child, but also the infant child and toddler of the house. When the woman seeks her time alone, Rita's use of the word "Sometimes" (6) indicates the woman has been to this place before, again further reinforced with the statement by Liza, "And just what was mother doing out back with the…

    2. The children think, act, and disobey together. They do everything as a group so their characteristics are very similar. Both are spoiled, disobedient, and impulsive. They are so used to having whatever they want that when their parents threatened to turn off the machines, they killed them. They shift their loyalties to whoever gives them what they want and possesses no thoughts for other’s feelings. They are extremely disobedient and listens to no one. Even when George pleaded that they, “Open the door!” they stubbornly allow the lions to do their jobs. They are impulsive and acts on the moment with no long-term planning. They never thought about whether the machines would break someday or whether Mr. McClean would turn it off. This would leave them with no ways to feed themselves.

    There once was two little kids that were playing on their small, family farm. Nancy was seven; she loved playing Hide and Seek. Davey was four; he loved playing Kingdom. Their father was in his mid thirties. He typically spent over ten hours in the field each day; however, he still had to bring in over three-fourths of the crops, and in less than two weeks, it was going to get too cold for the horses to work in the field, so for the past week he had spent about eighteen hours out in the fields. Their momma was in charge of all of the housework. She made all of the meals and taught the kids. Since it was getting colder, it took longer to cook the meals; so, she hoped that her husband would be done on the field soon so he could help her with more of the housework.…

    Small variations in salinity can make a monumental difference on the water cycle and the ocean circulation. Trouble can also arise when saltwater gets transferred onto the earth. That can damage the soil and wreck habitats! There are two types of salinity, primary and secondary salinity. Primary salinity is when water or soil naturally has a high amount of salt in it, like in a salt lake. Secondary salinity is caused by humans. It can be caused by clearing too much land, which makes the groundwater rise to the surface and the salts inside dissolve into the soil.Secondary salinity has two main forms of which it happens. The first is dry land salinity; when more water enters the groundwater than is taken out, so it can enter vegetation on land and become absorbed by the soil. There is also Irrigation salinity; (Irrigation is the act of flowing water over crops to nourish them), salts can collect in the topsoil under the irrigation. Too much irrigation or poor water are the main causes of…
