Respond to peer based on peer’s answer (What to the slave is the fourth of July ?
The book what to the slave is the fourth of July, represented perseverance as the author who is African American was asked to give a speech on Fouth of July. Douglas, in his speech expressed that fourth of july was not meant for him or anybody of the black race to celebrate, since it reflected freedom, liberty and justice for all, which was not the case for the african american community. There was no freedom and liberty as they were being enslaved ,abused and sold like they were not humane. He mentioned that he wanted them to compare the punishment that was given from different parts of the world and see that the united states of America still outranked any other place with their terrible actions towards africans and african americans, as quoted :”Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the old world, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival”.pp972 .He mentioned that it was very hypocritical of them to ask him to go on the stage to give a speech to celebrate 4th of July and has America to be untrue to their principles and claimed that days of slavery shall soon be over.
The Invisible man
In the story the author Raulph Ellison showed perserverance, as he went through many trials trying to find himself and his true identity. Ellison decided to move to Rochester New York , was so tired of being treated and seeing other african americans treated less as humane , being backstabbed and having many events happen in his life from being kicked out of college , being in riots and seeing his brotherhood friend get shot from the police has made him realize that no matter where you try to be accepted and included in the prejudiced and racist America, the probability will be unlikely possible.Elliot decided to go into a hole where he can be able to reflect and find himself as he quoted “I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: That I am nobody but myself.” pp.1160 .Elliot showed alot of perseverance in the story to prove his point and survive a racially divided society.

Which of the two schools of thought are closer to your own theory of crime causation?
Criminology
In the 19th century criminologists began to move away from the Classical philosophy that assumes crime is the result of free will and began to move toward a more scientific view of human behavior. The Positivist philosophy assumes that crime is the result of internal or external factors that determine behavior choices and that criminal behavior is outside of the control of the individual.

How does the rate of flame spread over the surface of the cooking oil (liquid) depend on the flash point?
Instructions
For this assignment, you will complete the fifth essay of the scenario-based case study. The essay should be a one- to two-page narrative focusing on arguments that support what the authors discuss in Chapters 8, 9, and 11, as well as other research that you conduct related to these concepts. You are to focus on one or two concepts in this unit’s chapters and relate to the fire that now involves several rooms and other apartments. Make sure the points are tangible. The narrative should consist of your evaluation of the textbook and other resources, listing the most compelling evidence or argument.
The questions below may help you to focus your essay on the one or two concepts chosen.
How does the rate of flame spread over the surface of the cooking oil (liquid) depend on the flash point?
If the cooking oil is at or above its flash point, is the flame spread rate fast, and will the spilled oil engulf with flames within seconds?
With the intense heat in the room, is the cooking oil already evaporating sufficiently to reach the lower flammability limit in the vapor phase over the fuel surface?
Does chemical change occur within solid materials in and around the apartment and within the chemistry of the volatiles during pyrolysis?
Does the dripping or running of the synthetic fabric that is draped from the ceiling to the floor increase the fire spread rate due to the increase in burning surface?
Can the heat from the apartment fire cause skin burns and/or weaken the structure to the point of collapse?
Can a single exposure to the smoke in the apartment have acute effects (e.g., death, incapacitation, impaired mobility, and reduced clarity of thinking) and post-exposure effects (e.g., lung damage) to the downed firefighter?

Do you agree with your classmate’s perspective? Why or why not?
You must reply to peer based on peer post (In The Soft-Hearted Sioux, the character of Sitting Bull is a perfect example of perseverance. From the time he was a child, Sitting Bull was destined to become a leader within Sioux society. Sitting Bull was part of the Hunkpapa tribe of Lakotas, located in the northern area now known as South Dakota. Sitting Bull was not able to become a hereditary chief among the Lakota, so he chose to gain political stature by joining influential societies. He became highly respected and influential, and in the early 1860s he was granted membership in the Fox Society, which had delegates from other Lakota bands. Sitting Bull was later elevated to the position of blotunka and used his position to unite the Sioux people against the American threat. This, combined with her vision of him, made Sitting Bull a key leader among the Sioux during the later defense of his homeland. He was constantly fighting against all odds, whether against the US government or rival tribes.

Why is understanding the neutral plane critical to life safety?
For this assignment, you will complete the fourth essay of the scenario-based case study. The essay should be a one- to two-page narrative focusing on arguments that support what the authors discuss in Chapters 7 and 12, as well as other research that you conduct related to these concepts.
The questions below may help you in focusing your essay on the one or two concepts chosen.
The plume of a fire burning in the apartment contains three zones. What are the differences between the layers in the zones?
When a fire plume hits a ceiling, it spreads horizontally, radiating thermal energy and accelerating fire growth. Why is this important to understand?
A two-way flow occurs through the doorway of a fire room. The inflow through the lower portion of the opening is driven by air entrainment into the flames. The mass outflow through the upper portion of the opening is slightly higher due to the added mass of the combustion products. Why is this important for firefighters to understand?
The ventilation pattern can change during a fire. What determines the hot upper layer temperature and optical density during a fire in a compartment with an opening?
What is the neutral plane?
Why is understanding the neutral plane critical to life safety?
