this good news was followed almost immediately by a contradic­tory report from comptroller wolcott. after several good days in the city, he explained, warm weather reappeared and deaths increased, jumping to 82 on october 22. wolcott advised the president to delay his return trip several more days. .

this didn't the anxious president, who had already been out of touch with critically important matters for over six weeks. he could write back and ask again what was happening in the city, but this would take an unbearable amount of time. before the fever, a letter could travel by fast post from his home to the city and a reply be received in three to six days. now letters to and from philadelphia had to undergo special processing, such as being dipped in vinegar and allowed to dry. it was taking mail anywhere from ten days to two weeks to make the journey these days! further delay was out of the question.

based on the passage and what you have learned in the lesson, write three to four sentences explaining whether dipping letters in vinegar to prevent the spread of yellow fever was a good conclusion.

Sample Response: Because people did not know that yellow fever was caused by the bite of an infected mosquito, they assumed incorrectly that people could catch the disease through touch. To help control the disease, letters were cleaned with vinegar before being sent. This did not work, because it was a false cause-and-effect relationship.

explanation:

shower, toothbrush, toasters, refrigerators,   and the lights

you use the lights to see and brighten a room. and with out them you cant see. you need a toothbrush to clean your teeth with out it stinky breath. shower to wash ya self and without it you stink. toaster to toast stuff without it nothing is toasted. and the refrigerator to keep stuff cold without it everything goes bad

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
