Alaska Regions

Challenges are a part of everyday life, and they change us in different and unexpected ways. The theme challenges create change (within individuals) can be a pivotal part of a text. Characters and people that face challenges have to change their ways of thinking, or even their lives in order to overcome these challenges. The texts Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, Every Day by David Levithan, Looking for Alaska by John Green and Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom all show how challenges create change in not just one individual but multiple people throughout the texts.

The climate of the interior plains is continental, which basically means that the climate is relatively dry with extremely hot summers and cold winters. The weather is very diverse and may change quickly without warning. In the North of the physiographic region, the winters are long and the summers are short and cool whereas in the South, the the winters are harsh with little precipitation and long summers. Although the humid weather and the flat lands create an ideal place to grow crops like wheat and corn, the growing season itself is quite short, even in the southern region due to the lack of precipitation needed for diversified crops to flourish. The flat prairies east to the Rockies is a meeting ground for Arctic, Pacific and

This unit was design with a main concept in mind, that concept is for students to understand what a region is so they can develop an understanding of California’s regions. The words I will emphasize throughout the unit are region, physical characteristics, natural features, natural resources, valley, desert, mountain, and coast. These words are important for students to understand and use in completing classroom tasks throughout the unit so they understand the content and make sense of what they are reading.

The Alaska Purchase happened back in 1867 followed by the Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War. The Russian Empire believed that the Russia Alaska was strategically difficult colony to defend against the British Columbia. The Russian Empire was already in financial troubles before the Crimean War but the loss increased the debt. Russian emperor feared to lose the Alaska without any compensation in future conflicts with the Britain. Plus Russia needed money desperately. For that reason, Czar Alexander II decided to sell it and attempted to sell it to the United States.

Throughout the book, Miles Halter shows his different sides. Miles is loyal, loving, and a deep thinker. His different traits surface throughout the book, and I chose a few that seemed the best about him.

St. Louis falls into the mellow midlatitude atmosphere gathering, and this is a district loaded with air mass complexities (Hess, 2011). These differentiations cause a mixture of unsettling influences in the air leaving St. Louis with an assortment of climate (Hess, 2011). The summers have a tendency to have more precipitation with the coastal stream and incessant convection (Hess, 2011). However winter can encounter rain and periodic snow due to midlatitude typhoons (Hess, 2011).

Immediately south of Alaska, located in the British Columbia, by the basins of the Naas and Skeena Rivers, lived the Tsimshian. One of the dialects out of four located in that region. Basin of Skeena was known for it’s famine almost all year round because of it’s weather. There were a couple different seasons that took place in that region. Before the famine arrives they travel along the coast in boats to take up position on the fishing grounds. Starting February 15th was the beginning of the first season known as “Month when Candlefish is Eaten” which lasted until March 15th. This name was purposely given because this is when they fished for candlefish. Right after this season came “Month when Candlefish is cooked” which lasted until April 15th. This season was taboo to men because men used their breasts to press the fish in order to remove the oil from them which made it strictly prohibited to the women since they were obligated to use their naked breasts to press the fish. Right after that season, arrived the Salmon months from June and July when the tribes from the region fished for salmon. At the end around November 15th was the “Taboo Month” which marked the inauguration of the great winter ceremonies. All the dates in the introduction seems to start or end on the 15th of each month just like, how number seven played an important role in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Neither in the story or the the introduction of the tribes it mentions the importance of 15 but according to

One warranted type of hunting is subsistence hunting. In many parts of Africa, and in Alaska, subsistence hunting is a way of life that more simplistic people chose to take on. Tribs, and single people hunt for their livelihoods. In rural Alaska, subsistence hunting is needed for survival because it gives them their basic needs such as nutrition, and it also allows them to obtain clothing and tools for survival. This way of life has been a necessary action for many people. In alaska, the cold makes travel difficult and food hard to come by so the residents are forced to take things into their own hands. In Africa, the tribes that choose to remain loyal to their customs have no other option than to grow and find their own food. Living off the

a. There are different races here in Alaska. The population of the people of Alaska has increased due to baby boom and other things. The gold rush era ended about 1912. The population of the territory declined and when the U.S entered World War I. More people left Alaska. The population in 1920 was indicated as 55,036. That census was the first to noted more non-Natives than Natives in the territory. Alaska's population did not somewhat increased again until World War II. Large naval stations opened at Sitka, Kodiak, and Unalaska and large army posts opened at Fairbanks, and Anchorage. A number of soldiers and construction workers decided to live in Alaska after the war. There were many job opportunities. The military started to build communication

"Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system that persists for several decades or longer" (Montgomery, 2015). Climate change (or global warming) can be caused by a natural progress such as sun 's radiations and volcanoes, or it can be caused by human 's actions such as land use, deforestation, and pollution. (Hardy, 2003).This phenomenon not only affects the environment, but it also affects human lives. Alaska is the largest state in the United States. It includes lands on both sides of the Arctic Circle. Sixteen national wildlife refuges are home to a great variety of flora and fauna. In the past 60 years. The Alaska 's environment changed drastically; the climate is warming up as twice as much in comparison to all the other states. This essay will discuss firstly the climate change in the Alaskan environment. Then it will highlight the changes in the ocean and costs, the effects that global warming is having on Alaska 's natives and the melting permafrost. It will then finally address who is responsible for this effects and some measures that can be taken.

Looking for Alaska is a novel about alcohol abuse, love, lust, and death. It is a novel published in 2005 written by Printz award winner John Green. The book explores the effects alcohol and tobacco can have on people’s lives, especially when they’re teenagers. The novel is also mostly about friendship, telling a story about a group of friends and how they deal with a loss in their group. I believe fiction novels should stay in the English curriculum because fiction can warn people about subjects such as alcohol abuse, fiction can show controversial topics in a new light, and also, fiction books can tell stories that emphasize friendship and show how important it is to love one another.

Alaska is one of the coldest most barren places on Earth. Only a select few can survive in this harsh environment.That is why I want to go so I can be apart of that select few that can make it in this harsh environment. It was founded by Vitus Bering. Some of its first settlers were a group of Russian whale hunters and fur traders. When America ratified the the treaty to purchase the soon to be state 30 ships set sail to all of the major settlements in that were already there.

Love, illness, and loss: the trifecta of any young adult romance novel. John Green has established himself as proficient in all three tropes through his many novels and several movie adaptations. While he is often praised for his portrayal of love and loss, his use of illness is just as prevalent in two of his stories. The Fault in Our Stars (2014) showcases cancer in young adults, whereas Looking for Alaska (2005) is written around the mental illness of the protagonist’s love interest. Green takes these two themes and writes them in contrasting ways, such as tone of voice, how the characters interact with others, and how those characters deal with death. The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska by John Green are perfect examples of
