CHAPTER II-THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt From White Fang By Jack London Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad-cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land. As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer-so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics. At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said: "I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." "They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized. They spoke no more until camp was made. Which most clearly expresses the impact of the hunting-cries that surround the men in this part of the story? (5 points) Select one: a. To add an element of surprise b. To add a sense of adventure c. To create a feeling of compassion d. To create tension and conflict

What are the various things people did
on the dragon ?​

Tammy and Sammy were both students in Mr. Morton's reading class. Mr. Morton wasn't
too strict about deadlines, and Sammy took advantage of that. He did all of his homework
in his other classes but never bothered to complete Mr. Morton's reading assignments,
figuring that he could complete them later. Tammy, on the other hand, completed each
assignment Mr. Morton assigned the night that he assigned it. She had to stay up a little
later, but she didn't want to get a penalty for turning in her reading work late. Tommy
knew reading was a core subject and that she had to keep "C" average for the entire year
or she would have to go to summer school. When the end of the quarter came, Tammy and
Sammy had both planned on going to the Enchanted Castle amusement park, but Mr.
Morton called Sammy's mother, and she grounded Sammy until he turned in all of his work.
That weekend was horrible for Sammy. He stayed up until 2:00 AM each night and still
couldn't complete all of the assignments. The whole while, Tammy had a great time eating
pizza at Enchanted Castle, watching movies late at night, and enjoying her weekend free of
stress and pressure. At the end of the quarter, Sammy was lucky to squeak by with a "C"
minus in reading while Tammy earned an "A." Sammy still hasn't learned his lesson and
probably won't complete this activity either.
