Note: the characters in the two passages live in different historical eras. passages: a: it was freezing cold out on the prairie, but daniel trudged on. he had to find firewood. his mother was ill. she needed the warmth of a fire. so many people on the wagon train had died. daniel was scared. he wondered if they would ever reach oregon by the end of 1861. b: "hello, chicago power company? " bob said into the phone. "i need you to come fix our furnace. the heat won't come on, and it's very cold. my mother's sick. it's a fairly new furnace, too. mom said it was installed in 2005. can you come right away? " he hung up and got blankets out of the closet to cover his mother until came. compare and contrast the two characters in these passages. in your answer, be sure to identify the setting of each passage and the conflict faced by each boy. how does the historical era in which each boy lives affect his conflict? use events and details from the passages to support your ideas.

The main difference between the two boys in this passage is the fact that they live in different time periods.

In the first passage, we can identify the setting as the 19th century, and we can also observe that the boy and his family are in the Prairies, traveling to Oregon. The location appears to be the same in the second passage (Chicago). However, the child is not travelling. Moreover, the time period is the 21st century. This means that Chicago is now a developed place, and that the child and his family are able to enjoy modern technology such as a furnace or the telephone.

Nevertheless, we also see that both children face a similar problem. In both examples, the mother of each child is sick and cold, and the children have to find a way to warm her up.

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
