Chapter 2 This chapter introduces one of the primary motifs of Into the Wild‚ that of documents. Because the book’s subject‚ Christopher McCandless‚ has died before author Jon Krakauer can meet him‚ Krakauer must rely on the testimony of the people McCandless encountered in order to stitch together the story of the young man’s journey — and especially on the documents McCandless left behind. The first of these documents is McCandless’s S.O.S. note. Others will include his journals‚ the notes he

Subject matter: “The Man from Snowy River” is a household poem. The man is trying to get the main colt back to the owner. The man from Snowy River was a man that was hard‚ tough and wiry. Theme: Never judge a book by its cover. As you never know what some people are capable of. The hero‚ the man from Snowy River‚ is typical of an Australian. An anonymous‚ lone and silent stranger who saves the day‚ exactly the type of stockman the Australian bush is meant to produce. The message of the poem

States of matter Four fundamental states: Solid - In a solid the particles (ions‚ atoms or molecules) are packed closely together. As a result‚ a solid has a stable‚ definite shape‚ and a definite volume. Solids can only change their shape by force‚ as when broken or cut. Liquid - A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. The volume is definite if the temperature and pressure are constant

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

Respect matters When I was young‚ I really didn’t respect authority unless it were my parents‚ and that didn’t get me far when I got to high school. I had a bad start to that day because school got under my skin. One day‚ everything changed when I moved up to varsity football and got into a horrible argument with the running backs coach which is also my positions coach. It was a real eye opener for me‚ and I had a new perspective on respect. After‚ that my life wasn’t the same when it came to showing

Examples: Glass‚ Rubber Liquids flowing freely but of constant volume. Examples: Water‚ Mercury‚ Alcohol Viscosity-a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.

Chapter 2 The Components of Matter Elements‚ Compounds‚ and Mixtures: An Atomic Overview An element consists of only one kind of atom. An element is one kind of substance – the composition is fixed. Each element is unique because the properties of its atoms are unique. Molecules are structures containing two or more atoms chemically bound together. Diatomic molecules are two-atom molecules such as elemental oxygen. A compound is a type of matter in which two or more different elements are chemically
