Explanation:

Yukon, a mountainous territory in Canada, is used as the setting for the tragic short story "To Build a Fire" by American author Jack London. London portrays Yukon as an inhospitable environment - at least for those who have no respect and reverence for Nature's power. The details that help us understand how harsh the Yukon territory is are:

1. It is "exceedingly cold and gray" - We know human beings need heat to be able to survive. We also tend to associate the color green with life, while gray seems barren.

2. The temperature is seventy-five below zero. - Again, such an extreme temperature does not reassure us of the possibility of survival.

3. Even though it is nine o'clock, there is no sign of the sun. - Without the heat the sun provides, we can only imagine how insufferably cold Yukon is, as well as scary.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.
