    Try to imagine what it would be like in a town where nothing happens. The town is 2D with the land flat and the views drawn into the ground instead of rising it. The town of which I refer is Holcomb, Kansas. The setting for Truman Capote portrays In Cold Blood. A bland, tired town that host inhabitants, the town being equal to their occupants. Truman attempts to illustrate the said town that would allow us to explore the streets with the practice of imagery along with the attention to the little details, and tone.…

    People have been using salt since 6050 bc.We have used it for seasoning, preservation, and in the last century for lowering the freezing point of water(History of Salt).

Less of the water molecules reach the surface of the ice in an amount of given time. The melting rate isn't changed by the salt, so melting is going to happen faster than the freezing. This makes the ice melt(Frederick A. Senese, Why can adding salt to ice water make the ice melt slower?).…
